I have this schema:
class Company(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'companies'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(250), nullable=True, default=None)
domain = db.Column(db.String(250), nullable=True, default=None)
organization_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('organizations.id'), nullable=False)
class Contact(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'contacts'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(250), nullable=True, default=None)
email = db.Column(db.String(250), nullable=False)
company_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('companies.id'), nullable=True, default=None)
company = relationship('Company')
organization_id = db.Column({Import Company.organization_id as eager})
The last line is of course garbage, but it's to show the idea:
I'd like to have the value "organization_id" available in Contact, even though it's not present in the table "contacts", but since it's present in "companies", is there a way to ask SQLAlchemy to load the value from "companies" via a JOIN, and affect it to "contacts" as a read-only value?
That way, when I search for a contact, for instance :
contact = Contact.query.filter(Contact.email = 'test@test.com').first()
print(contact.organization_id) # => 1
You can use the hybrid_property decorator to define an attribute on your class:
class Contact(db.Model):
...
@hybrid_property
def organization_id(self):
return self.company.organization_id if self.company else None
Using contact.organization_id
will load the company
using the foreign key relationship.
