Pylint Flask SQLAlchemy

About

pylint_flask_sqlalchemy is a Pylint to improve static code analysis of Flask-SQLAlchemy based projects.

pylint_flask_sqlalchemy is now hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/anybox/pylint_flask_sqlalchemy

Installation

pip install pylint_flask_sqlalchemy

And tell Pylint to --load-plugins pylint_flask_sqlalchemy.

Usage

Here's a simple flask application:

"""app.py"""
from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = "sqlite:////tmp/test.db"
db = SQLAlchemy(app)


class Group(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), unique=True, nullable=False)

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"<Group {self.name}>"


class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    username = db.Column(db.String(80), unique=True, nullable=False)
    group = db.relationship(Group)

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"<User {self.username}>"

user = User(username="test")
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()

Without the plugin 😓
