Pydastic is an elasticsearch python ORM based on Pydantic.

## πŸ’Ύ Installation

Pip:
```bash
pip install pydastic
```

Poetry:
```bash
poetry add pydastic
```

## πŸš€ Core Features
- Simple CRUD operations supported
- Sessions for simplifying bulk operations (a la SQLAlchemy)
- Dynamic index support when committing operations

## In Development
- Search API (for now, exposed client can be used)

## πŸ“‹ Usage

### Defining Models
```python
from pydastic import ESModel

class User(ESModel):
name: str
phone: Optional[str]
last_login: datetime = Field(default_factory=datetime.now)

class Meta:
index = "user"
```

### Establishing Connection
An elasticsearch connection can be setup by using the `connect` function. This function adopts the same signature as the `elasticsearch.Elasticsearch` client and supports editor autocomplete.
Make sure to call this only once. No protection is put in place against multiple calls, might affect performance negatively.

```python
from pydastic import connect

connect(hosts="localhost:9200")
```

### CRUD: Create, Update
```python
# Create and save doc
user = User(name="John", age=20)
user.save(wait_for=True) # wait_for explained below

assert user.id != None

# Update doc
user.name = "Sam"
user.save(wait_for=True)
```

### CRUD: Read Document
```python
got = User.get(id=user.id)
assert got == user
```

### CRUD: Delete
```python
user = User(name="Marie")
user.save(wait_for=True)

user.delete(wait_for=True)
```

### Sessions
Sessions are inspired by [SQL Alchemy](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/tutorial.html)'s sessions, and are used for simplifying bulk operations using the Elasticsearch client. From what I've seen, the ES client makes it pretty hard to use the bulk API, so they created bulk helpers (which in turn have incomplete/wrong docs).

```python
john = User(name="John")
sarah = User(name="Sarah")

with Session() as session:
session.save(john)
session.save(sarah)
session.commit()
```

With an ORM, bulk operations can be exposed neatly through a simple API. Pydastic also offers more informative errors on issues encountered during bulk operations. This is possible by suppressing the built-in elastic client errors and extracting more verbose ones instead.

Example error:

```json
pydastic.error.BulkError: [
{
"update": {
"_index": "user",
"_type": "_doc",
"_id": "test",
"status": 404,
"error": {
"type": "document_missing_exception",
"reason": "[_doc][test]: document missing",
"index_uuid": "cKD0254aQRWF-E2TMxHa4Q",
"shard": "0",
"index": "user"
}
}
},
{
"update": {
"_index": "user",
"_type": "_doc",
"_id": "test2",
"status": 404,
"error": {
"type": "document_missing_exception",
"reason": "[_doc][test2]: document missing",
"index_uuid": "cKD0254aQRWF-E2TMxHa4Q",
"shard": "0",
"index": "user"
}
}
}
]
```

The sessions API will also be available through a context manager before the v1.0 release.

### Dynamic Index Support
Pydastic also supports dynamic index specification. The model Metaclass index definition is still mandatory, but if an index is specified when performing operations, that will be used instead.
The model Metaclass index is technically a fallback, although most users will probably be using a single index per model. For some users, multiple indices per model are needed (for example in B2B businesses, one user index per client/company is needed to keep the data separated between clients).

```python
user = User(name="Marie")
user.save(index="my-user", wait_for=True)

user.delete(index="my-user", wait_for=True)
```

### Search API
Still haven't got an idea on how to wrap the underlying API productively. Unless I create a DSL from scratch or use elasticsearch-dsl (which I don't like due to lacking documentation), I can't really provide any value on top of the client's built-in search API. Give this a minute of thought and shoot me your suggestions if you come up with anything!

### Notes on testing
When writing tests with Pydastic (even applies when writing tests with the elasticsearch client), remember to use the `wait_for=True` argument when executing operations. If this is not used, then the test will continue executing even if Elasticsearch hasn't propagated the change to all nodes, giving you weird results.

For example if you save a document, then try getting it directly after, you'll get a document not found error. This is solved by using the wait_for argument in Pydastic (equivalent to `refresh="wait_for"` in Elasticsearch)

Here is [a reference](https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/v8.2.0/api.html#elasticsearch.Elasticsearch.index) to where this argument is listed in the docs.

It's also supported in the bulk helpers even though its not mentioned in their docs, but you wouldn't figure that out unless you dug into their source and traced back several function calls where `*args` `**kwargs` are just being forwarded across calls.. :)

## Support Elasticsearch Versions

Part of the build flow is running the tests using elasticsearch 7.12.0 DB as well as a 7.12.0 elasticsearch-python client. Another part is using 8.1.2 as well (DB as well as client, as part of a build matrix). This ensures support for multiple versions.
