Flexible Dict

A flexible way to access dict data instead of built-in dict.

Installation

pip install flexible-dict

Usage

Define a dict class and access value

Use a decorator json_object to make class to be a flexible dict.

from flexible_dict import json_object, MISSING

@json_object
class A:
    i: int = 3
    j: str = "init value"
    s: float
    g: int = MISSING

a = A()
print(a)  # actual is a dict

print(a.i)  # access value via x.y
print(a.j)

a.j = "update value"  # set value

print(a['j'])  # access value via native dict way

Build a json_object class from json data

Suppose there is a file named a.py with content

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": "two",
  "c": {
    "d": 4,
    "e": "li"
  }
}

Run the script bellow

python -m flexible_dict build_class --name A --file a.json --output a.py

Then a file named a.py will be generated

from flexible_dict import json_object

@json_object
class A:
    a: int
    b: str
    c: dict
