sqlalchemy.ext.declarative declarative_base Example Code

declarative_base is a callable within the sqlalchemy.ext.declarative module of the SQLAlchemy project.

DeclarativeMeta is another callable from the sqlalchemy.ext.declarative package with code examples.

Example 1 from flask-sqlalchemy

flask-sqlalchemy (project documentation and PyPI information) is a Flask extension that makes it easier to use SQLAlchemy when building Flask apps. flask-sqlalchemy provides helper functions that reduce the amount of common boilerplate code that you have to frequently write yourself if you did not use this library when combining Flask with SQLAlchemy.

Example 2 from graphene-sqlalchemy

graphene-sqlalchemy (project documentation and PyPI package information) is a SQLAlchemy integration for Graphene, which makes it easier to build GraphQL-based APIs into Python web applications. The package allows you to subclass SQLAlchemy classes and build queries around them with custom code to match the backend queries with the GraphQL-based request queries. The project is provided as open source under the MIT license.

Example 3 from sqlalchemy-datatables

sqlalchemy-datatables (PyPI package information) is a helper library that makes it easier to use SQLAlchemy with the jQuery JavaScript DataTables plugin. This library is designed to be web framework agnostic and provides code examples for both Flask and Pyramid.

Example 5 from SQLAthanor

SQLAthanor (PyPI package information and project documentation) is a SQLAlchemy extension that provides serialization and deserialization support for JSON, CSV, YAML and Python dictionaries. This project is similar to Marshmallow with one major difference: SQLAthanor works through SQLAlchemy models while Marshmallow is less coupled to SQLAlchemy because it requires separate representations of the serialization objects. Both libraries have their uses depending on whether the project plans to use SQLAlchemy for object representations or would prefer to avoid that couping. SQLAthanor is open sourced under the MIT license.

Example 6 from sandman2

sandman2 (project documentation and PyPI package information) is a code library for automatically generating RESTful APIs from existing database schemas. This approach is handy for solving straightforward situations where you want to put an abstraction layer between one or more applications and your relational database to prevent or reduce direct database access.
