class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.BaseEnumField(**kwargs)

Base class for all enum field types

This class should not be directly instantiated. Instead subclass it and set AUTO_TYPE to be a SomeEnum() where SomeEnum is a subclass of Enum.

valid_values

Return the list of valid values for the field.

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.CoercedDict(*args, **kwargs)

Dict which coerces its values

Dict implementation which overrides all element-adding methods and coercing the element(s) being added to the required element type

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.CoercedList(*args, **kwargs)

List which coerces its elements

List implementation which overrides all element-adding methods and coercing the element(s) being added to the required element type

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.CoercedSet(*args, **kwargs)

Set which coerces its values

Dict implementation which overrides all element-adding methods and coercing the element(s) being added to the required element type

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.DictProxyField(dict_field_name, key_type=<type 'int'>)

Descriptor allowing us to assign pinning data as a dict of key_types

This allows us to have an object field that will be a dict of key_type keys, allowing that will convert back to string-keyed dict.

This will take care of the conversion while the dict field will make sure that we store the raw json-serializable data on the object.

key_type should return a type that unambiguously responds to six.text_type so that calling key_type on it yields the same thing.

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.EnumField(valid_values, **kwargs)

Anonymous enum field type

This class allows for anonymous enum types to be declared, simply by passing in a list of valid values to its constructor. It is generally preferrable though, to create an explicit named enum type by sub-classing the BaseEnumField type directly.

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.SensitiveString

A string field type that may contain sensitive (password) information.

Passwords in the string value are masked when stringified.

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.SensitiveStringField(**kwargs)

Field type that masks passwords when the field is stringified.

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.StateMachine(valid_values, **kwargs)

A mixin that can be applied to an EnumField to enforce a state machine

e.g: Setting the code below on a field will ensure an object cannot transition from ERROR to ACTIVE

Example:

class FakeStateMachineField(fields.EnumField, fields.StateMachine):

    ACTIVE = 'ACTIVE'
    PENDING = 'PENDING'
    ERROR = 'ERROR'
    DELETED = 'DELETED'

    ALLOWED_TRANSITIONS = {
        ACTIVE: {
            PENDING,
            ERROR,
            DELETED,
        },
        PENDING: {
            ACTIVE,
            ERROR
        },
        ERROR: {
            PENDING,
        },
        DELETED: {}  # This is a terminal state
    }

    _TYPES = (ACTIVE, PENDING, ERROR, DELETED)

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(FakeStateMachineField, self).__init__(
        self._TYPES, **kwargs)

class oslo_versionedobjects.fields.UUIDField(**kwargs)

UUID Field Type

Warning

This class does not actually validate UUIDs. This will happen in a future major version of oslo.versionedobjects

To validate that you have valid UUIDs you need to do the following in your own objects/fields.py

Example:

import oslo_versionedobjects.fields as ovo_fields

class UUID(ovo_fields.UUID):
     def coerce(self, obj, attr, value):
        uuid.UUID(value)
        return str(value)


class UUIDField(ovo_fields.AutoTypedField):
    AUTO_TYPE = UUID()

and then in your objects use <your_projects>.object.fields.UUIDField.

This will become default behaviour in the future.
