To modify dynamic fields in the user table with Python + FastApi and SQLAlchemy, you can follow these steps:
Define a Python model for the User object using SQLAlchemy's declarative syntax. This model should include the dynamic fields as well as any other fixed fields in the User table.
Create a CRUD function in your FastAPI application that handles the update operation for User objects. This function should accept the User ID and the updated fields as input parameters.
Inside the CRUD function, use SQLAlchemy's session object to query the User object by its ID and retrieve the existing record.
Update the values of the dynamic fields using the updated values passed in as parameters.
Commit the changes to the database using the session object's commit()
method.
Return the updated User object to the client.
Here's an example code snippet:
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from typing import List
from pydantic import BaseModel
from datetime import datetime
Base = declarative_base()
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = "users"
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, index=True)
username = Column(String, unique=True, index=True)
password = Column(String)
email = Column(String, unique=True, index=True)
created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow())
# Dynamic fields
extra_fields = Column(JSON)
class UserUpdate(BaseModel):
extra_fields: dict
app = FastAPI()
engine = create_engine("sqlite:///./test.db")
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
@app.put("/users/{user_id}")
def update_user(user_id: int, user_update: UserUpdate):
session = Session()
user = session.query(User).filter(User.id == user_id).first()
if not user:
raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="User not found")
user.extra_fields = user_update.extra_fields
session.commit()
session.refresh(user)
return user
In this example, we define a User model with a dynamic extra_fields
field, and a UserUpdate model that accepts an updated dict of fields. We then define an updateuser function that accepts a userid and a UserUpdate object, and uses SQLAlchemy to retrieve the relevant User object from the database and update its dynamic fields. Finally, we commit the changes, refresh the User object to ensure we have the latest version, and return it to the client.
