Requirements
Python 3.5+
Installation
Install YORM with pip:
$ pip install YORMor directly from the source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/jacebrowning/yorm.git
$ cd yorm
$ python setup.py installUsage
Simply take an existing class:
class Student:
def __init__(self, name, school, number, year=2009):
self.name = name
self.school = school
self.number = number
self.year = year
self.gpa = 0.0and define an attribute mapping:
import yorm
from yorm.types import String, Integer, Float
@yorm.attr(name=String, year=Integer, gpa=Float)
@yorm.sync("students/{self.school}/{self.number}.yml")
class Student:
...Modifications to each object’s mapped attributes:
>>> s1 = Student("John Doe", "GVSU", 123)
>>> s2 = Student("Jane Doe", "GVSU", 456, year=2014)
>>> s1.gpa = 3are automatically reflected on the filesytem:
$ cat students/GVSU/123.yml
name: John Doe
gpa: 3.0
school: GVSU
year: 2009Modifications and new content in each mapped file:
$ echo "name: John Doe
> gpa: 1.8
> year: 2010
" > students/GVSU/123.ymlare automatically reflected in their corresponding object:
>>> s1.gpa
