FaunaDB Python

Python driver for FaunaDB

    from faunadb import query as q
    from faunadb.objects import Ref
    from faunadb.client import FaunaClient

    client = FaunaClient(secret="your-secret-here")

    indexes = client.query(q.paginate(q.indexes()))

    print(indexes)

Installation


    $ pip install faunadb

Document Streaming

Fauna supports document streaming, where changes to a streamed document are pushed to all clients subscribing to that document.

The following section provides an example for managing a document stream.

The streaming API is blocking by default, the choice and mechanism for handling concurrent streams is left to the application developer:

    from faunadb import query as q
    from faunadb.objects import Ref
    from faunadb.client import FaunaClient

    client = FaunaClient(secret="your-secret-here")

    coll = client.query(q.create_collection({"name":"sc"}))
    doc  = client.query(q.create(coll["ref"], {"data":{"x": 0}}))

    stream = None
    def on_start(event):
        print("started stream at %s"%(event.txn))
        client.query(q.update(doc["ref"], {"data": {"x": "updated"}}))

    def on_version(event):
        print("on_version event at %s"%(event.txn))
        print("    event: %s"%(event.event))
        stream.close()

    def on_error(event):
        print("Received error event %s"%(event))
    options = {"fields": ["document", "diff"]}
    stream = client.stream(doc["ref"], options, on_start, on_version, on_error)
    stream.start()

Compatibility

The following versions of Python are supported:

Python 2.7
Python 3.3
Python 3.4
Python 3.5
Python 3.6
Python 3.7
Python 3.8

Building it yourself

Setup

```bash

    $ virtualenv venv
    $ source venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install .
```

Testing

To run the tests you must have a FaunaDB database available. Then set the environment variable FAUNA_ROOT_KEY to your database’s root key. If you use FaunaDB cloud, this is the password you log in with.

Tip: Setting the FAUNA_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable will set a timeout in milliseconds for all queries.

Then run make test. To test a single test, use e.g. python -m unittest tests.test_client.ClientTest.test_ping.

Tests can also be run via a Docker container with FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" make docker-test (an alternate Alpine-based Python image can be provided via RUNTIME_IMAGE).

Coverage ~~~~~~~~

To run the tests with coverage, install the coverage dependencies with pip install .[coverage], and then run make coverage. A summary will be displayed to the terminal, and a detailed coverage report will be available at htmlcov/index.html.
