"""Allows the creation of types which add additional functionality
to an existing type.
This method is preferred to direct subclassing of SQLAlchemy's
built-in types as it ensures that all required functionality of
the underlying type is kept in place.
Typical usage::
import sqlalchemy.types as types
class MyType(types.TypeDecorator):
'''Prefixes Unicode values with "PREFIX:" on the way in and
strips it off on the way out.
'''
impl = types.Unicode
def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):
return "PREFIX:" + value
def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
return value[7:]
def copy(self):
return MyType(self.impl.length)
The class-level "impl" attribute is required, and can reference any
TypeEngine class. Alternatively, the load_dialect_impl() method
can be used to provide different type classes based on the dialect
given; in this case, the "impl" variable can reference
``TypeEngine`` as a placeholder.
Types that receive a Python type that isn't similar to the ultimate type
used may want to define the :meth:`TypeDecorator.coerce_compared_value`
method. This is used to give the expression system a hint when coercing
Python objects into bind parameters within expressions. Consider this
expression::
mytable.c.somecol + datetime.date(2009, 5, 15)
Above, if "somecol" is an ``Integer`` variant, it makes sense that
we're doing date arithmetic, where above is usually interpreted
by databases as adding a number of days to the given date.
The expression system does the right thing by not attempting to
coerce the "date()" value into an integer-oriented bind parameter.
However, in the case of ``TypeDecorator``, we are usually changing an
incoming Python type to something new - ``TypeDecorator`` by default will
"coerce" the non-typed side to be the same type as itself. Such as below,
we define an "epoch" type that stores a date value as an integer::
class MyEpochType(types.TypeDecorator):
impl = types.Integer
epoch = datetime.date(1970, 1, 1)
def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):
return (value - self.epoch).days
def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
return self.epoch + timedelta(days=value)
Our expression of ``somecol + date`` with the above type will coerce the
"date" on the right side to also be treated as ``MyEpochType``.
This behavior can be overridden via the
:meth:`~TypeDecorator.coerce_compared_value` method, which returns a type
that should be used for the value of the expression. Below we set it such
that an integer value will be treated as an ``Integer``, and any other
value is assumed to be a date and will be treated as a ``MyEpochType``::
