I experimented a little more with the idea of having parametrized
Transformers. Here is one that expects a list of names instead of a
level. At this point, my use is not really related to hybrids
anymore, so I may be using the wrong tools.
class FollowTransformer(Comparator):
def __init__(self, expression, names):
super(FollowTransformer, self).__init__(expression)
self.names = names
def operate(self, op, other):
def transform(query):
cls = self.__clause_element__()
for name in self.names[:-1]:
cls, prev_cls = aliased(cls), cls
query = query.join(cls, getattr(prev_cls, name))
return query.filter(op(getattr(cls, self.names[-1]), other))
return transform
You can see how the transform is really similar to what I had before.
On the Node class I can now use it like so:
class Node(Base):
__tablename__ = 'node'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
parent_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('node.id'))
parent = relationship("Node", remote_side=id)
@classmethod
def follow(cls, *names):
return FollowTransformer(cls, names)
And it'll allow me to do queries like this:
session.query(Node).with_transformation(Node.follow('parent',
'parent') == grandparent)
session.query(Node).with_transformation(Node.follow('parent',
'id') % 2).filter(Node.id > 5)
which I think looks kinda neat. It reminds of the
