Python Typing

Since Python 3.6, Python included support for type hints. This enables editors and tools to help you be more proeficient when coding.

primeight also allows this by incorporating methods that allow you to dynamically generate models for your tables and types for columns.

Table model

Using the model attribute of the CassandraTable or CassandraMaterializedView, you have access to a Pydantic model of your table.

from primeight import CassandraTable
from primeight.parser import YamlParser

config = YamlParser.parse('devices.yaml')
table = CassandraTable(config)

table.model

Column type

Using the pydantic_type attribute of the CassandraColumn, you have access to type of your column.

from primeight import CassandraTable
from primeight.parser import YamlParser

config = YamlParser.parse('clients.yaml')
table = CassandraTable(config)

table.col['device_id'].pydantic_type
