django-saber
Saber provides a drop-in replacement for the Django ORM for dealing with a defined database set. All Model attributes, methods and relations will work seamlessly -- faster.
Why
This library helped reduce the generation of an expensive report from 200 seconds to 1 second, by changing a prefetched queryset with an in-memory data representation.
- When you need to calculate a dataset in (near) real-time
- For read-only views
Usage
Your Django project should separate concerns; that is, separate Models (fields) and Controllers (logic). This allows Saber to use the same logic.
class ThinController(object):
def name_rhymes_with_orange(self): pass
class Thin(ThinController, models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
To mimic Models, provide the module that has the model Controllers. By default, memory.initialize() will load the full database into memory.
memory = Memory(controllers=['test_project.controllers'])
memory.initialize()
database = Traverse(memory.data)
database.thin.all()
database.thin[0].name
database.thin[0].name_rhymes_with_orange()
