gino-quart

Introduction

An extension for GINO to support quart server.

Usage

The common usage looks like this:

from quart import Quart
from gino.ext.quart import Gino

app = Quart()
db = Gino(app, **kwargs)

Configuration

GINO adds a before_request, after_request and before_first_request hook to the Quart app to setup and cleanup database according to the configurations that passed in the kwargs parameter.

The config includes:

Name	Description	Default
driver	the database driver	asyncpg
host	database server host	localhost
port	database server port	5432
user	database server user	postgres
password	database server password	empty
database	database name	postgres
dsn	a SQLAlchemy database URL to create the engine, its existence will replace all previous connect arguments.	N/A
retry_times	the retry times when database failed to connect	20
retry_interval	the interval in seconds between each time of retry	5
pool_min_size	the initial number of connections of the db pool.	N/A
pool_max_size	the maximum number of connections in the db pool.	N/A
echo	enable SQLAlchemy echo mode.	N/A
ssl	SSL context passed to asyncpg.connect	None
use_connection_for_request	flag to set up lazy connection for requests.	N/A
retry_limit	the number of retries to connect to the database on start up.	1
retry_interval	seconds to wait between retries.	1
kwargs	other parameters passed to the specified dialects, like asyncpg. Unrecognized parameters will cause exceptions.	N/A

Lazy Connection

If use_connection_for_request is set to be True, then a lazy connection is available at request['connection']. By default, a database connection is borrowed on the first query, shared in the same execution context, and returned to the pool on response. If you need to release the connection early in the middle to do some long-running tasks, you can simply do this:

await request['connection'].release(permanent=False)

Older Quart Versions

gino-quart requires a quart version higher or equal to quart 0.15.1 after the 1.1.2 release. This is caused by multiple breaking changes with, amongst other things, exception handling. You can still use gino-quart 0.1.1b5 for older Quart versions.
