Core Concepts

There are only four main concepts in Meritous:

  • Model
    The main data structure containing a Schema of defined Properties
  • Schema
    Represents the expected data structure of a Model
  • Property
    The main data values of the Model referenced in a Schema
  • Serializers
    Serializers are used to transform models into different formats for storage

Models

Models represent the main data structure of Meritous.

.. autoclass :: meritous.core::Model
  :members:
  :special-members: __setattr__, __getattr__

In-line Models

An alternative way to make use of Models is in-line using the class constructor. Because there is no special notation or metadata associated with Models other than a schema (in the form of a dictionary) there is no explicit need to declare your own class other than convention or convenience.

from meritous import Model
from meritous.core import Property

mymodel = Model({
   'property' : Property(str)
})
