Creating a Base

A "Base" is Deta's equivalent of an SQL "table". A Base is really just a list of dictionaries. To create a new Base, subclass detaorm.Base:

from detaorm import Base

class MyBase(Base):
   ...

When creating a base, you can also define the bases name. If not specified, the base name will default to the class name (so "mybase" in this case).

...

class MyBase(Base, name="some_other_name"):
   ...

detaORM bases work a lot like dataclasses. To add fields to your Base, you declare them as classvars, like this:

from detaorm import Base, Field

class MyBase(Base, name="some_other_name"):
   my_field_name = Field()

If you like typehints, you can specify the field type like this:

...
    my_field_name: Field[str] = Field()
