# python-benedict
|
||
python-benedict is the Python dictionary for humans dealing with evil/complex data.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
- Full **keypath** support *(using the dot syntax)*
|
||
- Many **utility methods** to retrieve data as needed *(all methods listed below)*
|
||
- 100% **backward-compatible** *(you can replace existing dicts without pain)*
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
- Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
- Run `pip install python-benedict`
|
||
|
||
## Testing
|
||
- Run `tox` / `python setup.py test`
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
`benedict` is a dict subclass, so it is possible to use it as a normal dict *(you can just cast an existing dict)*.
|
||
|
||
### Basic get/set using keypath
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from benedict import benedict
|
||
|
||
d = benedict()
|
||
d['profile.firstname'] = 'Fabio'
|
||
d['profile.lastname'] = 'Caccamo'
|
||
print(d) # -> { 'profile':{ 'firstname':'Fabio', 'lastname':'Caccamo' } }
|
||
print(d['profile']) # -> { 'firstname':'Fabio', 'lastname':'Caccamo' }
|
||
print('profile.lastname' in d) # -> True
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Extra methods
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Return a deepcopy of the dict.
|
||
d.deepcopy()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Return a list of all keypaths in the dict.
|
||
d.get_keypaths()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Utility methods
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as bool.
|
||
# Values like `1`, `true`, `yes`, `on`, `ok` will be returned as `True`.
|
||
d.get_bool(key, default=False)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as bool.
|
||
# Values like `1`, `true`, `yes`, `on`, `ok` will be returned as `True`.
|
||
d.get_bool(key, default=False)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of bool values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_bool_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as datetime.
|
||
# If format is not specified it will be autodetected.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_datetime(key, default=None, format=None, options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of datetime values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_datetime_list(key, default=[], format=None, separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as Decimal.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_decimal(key, default=Decimal('0.0'), options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of Decimal values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_decimal_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as dict.
|
||
# If value is a json string it will be automatically decoded.
|
||
d.get_dict(key, default={})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as float.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_float(key, default=0.0, options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of float values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_float_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as int.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_int(key, default=0, options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of int values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_int_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as slug.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_slug(key, default='', options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of slug values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_slug_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as string.
|
||
# Encoding issues will be automatically fixed.
|
||
# If options and value is in options return value otherwise default.
|
||
d.get_str(key, default='', options=[])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Get value by key or keypath trying to return it as list of str values.
|
||
# If separator is specified and value is a string it will be splitted.
|
||
d.get_str_list(key, default=[], separator=',')
