Python driver for FaunaDB <https://fauna.com>_.
Note: This driver supports an older version of the Fauna API. The latest version of the official
Fauna Python Driver is located here (we encourage all new
development to use this new version where possible).
… code-block:: bash
$ pip install faunadb
The following versions of Python are supported:
Driver documentation is available at https://fauna.github.io/faunadb-python/4.5.0/api/.
See the FaunaDB Documentation <https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/v4/api/fql/>__ for a complete API reference, or look in tests_
for more examples.
… code-block:: python
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)
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:
… code-block:: python
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_error, on_version)
stream.start()
Its possible to observe each query’s metrics by providing an “observer” callback.
More information on query metrics is available in the FaunaDB Documentation <https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/v4/learn/understanding/plan_billing/billing#perquery>__.
Here is a simple example:
… code-block:: python
from faunadb import query as q
from faunadb.client import FaunaClient
from faunadb.errors import FaunaError
# The observer callback, which takes the HTTP response for a query
def observe(response):
h = response.response_headers
print('bytesOut:', h["x-compute-ops"])
print('queryTime:', h["x-query-time"])
print('readOps:', h["x-byte-read-ops"])
print('writeOps:', h["x-byte-write-ops"])
print('retries:', h["x-txn-retries"])
# Connect to a local Fauna Dev instance
client = FaunaClient(
secret="secret",
domain="localhost",
scheme="http",
port=8443,
observer=observe
)
try:
result = client.query(
q.paginate(q.collections())
)
except FaunaError as err:
print("err: ", err)
else:
print(result)
Setup
.. code-block:: 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``.
