Description: # Py YAML Fixtures
        
        A library for loading (database) fixtures written in [Jinja](http://jinja.pocoo.org/)-templated YAML files. It comes with support for [faker](http://faker.readthedocs.io/en/master/) and relationships between fixture objects.

        ## Usage
        
        This a generic library, so you can use it however you want, but the intended use case is to add a CLI command to your project for seeding your database. It could also perhaps be useful for creating test fixtures, if you're looking for a different solution than [factory_boy](https://factoryboy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). 
        
        ### With Flask and Flask-SQLAlchemy
        
        This is the minimal setup required to make a flask cli command available to import fixtures, by default, `flask import-fixtures`:
        
        ```python
        from flask import Flask
        from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
        from py_yaml_fixtures.flask import PyYAMLFixtures
        
        app = Flask(__name__)
        db = SQLAlchemy(app)
        
        # optional configuration settings (these are all the defaults):
        app.config['PY_YAML_FIXTURES_MODELS_MODULE'] = 'app.models'
        app.config['PY_YAML_FIXTURES_DIR'] = 'db/fixtures'
        app.config['PY_YAML_FIXTURES_COMMAND_NAME'] = 'import-fixtures'
        
        fixtures = PyYAMLFixtures(app)
        ```
        
        ### Generic Usage
        
        ```python
        import sqlalchemy as sa
        
        from py_yaml_fixtures import FixturesLoader
        from py_yaml_fixtures.factories import SQLAlchemyModelFactory
        from sqlalchemy import create_engine
        from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
        from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship, sessionmaker
        
        PY_YAML_FIXTURES_DIR = 'db/fixtures'
        
        BaseModel = declarative_base()
        
        class Parent(BaseModel):
            id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True)
            name = sa.Column(sa.String)
            children = relationship('Child', back_populates='parent')
        
        class Child(BaseModel):
            id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True)
            name = sa.Column(sa.String)
            parent_id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, sa.ForeignKey('parent.id'))
            parent = relationship('Parent', back_populates='children')
        
        # first we need a list of our model classes to provide to the factory
        models = [Parent, Child]
        
        # and we need a session connected to the database, also for the factory
        engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
        Session = sessionmaker()
        Session.configure(bind=engine)
        session = Session()
        
        # then we create the factory, and pass it to the fixtures loader
        factory = SQLAlchemyModelFactory(session, models)
        loader = FixturesLoader(factory, fixtures_dir=PY_YAML_FIXTURES_DIR)
        
        # to actually create all the fixtures in the database, we have to call
        # loader.create_all (it can also create only specific models by passing a list
        # of identifier strings)
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            loader.create_all(lambda identifier, model, created: print(
                f'{"Creating" if created else "Updating"} {identifier.key}: {model!r}'))
        ```
        
        ### Fixture File Syntax
        
        Using the two models shown just above as an example, to populate these models with some fixtures data, you must create `yaml` files in `PY_YAML_FIXTURES_DIR` named after each model's class name (`Parent` and `Child` in our case). For example:
        
        ```yaml
        # db/fixtures/Child.yaml
        
        alice:
            name: Alice
        
        bob:
            name: Bob
        
        grace:
            name: Grace
        
        judy:
            name: Judy
        ```
        
        The top-level YAML keys (`alice`, `bob`, `grace`, `judy`) are unique ids used to reference objects in relationships. They must be unique across *all* model fixtures.
        
        To reference them, we use an *identifier string*. An identifier string consists of two parts: the class name, and one or more ids. For singular relationships the notation is `'ModelClassName(id)'`. For the many-side of relationships, the notation is the same, just combined with YAML's list syntax:
        
        ```yaml
        # db/fixtures/Parent.yaml
        
        parent1:
          name: Parent 1
          children: ['Child(alice)', 'Child(bob)']
        
        parent2:
          name: Parent 2
          children:
            - 'Child(grace)'
            - 'Child(judy)'
        
        # or in short-hand notation
        parent3:
          name: Parent 3
          children: ['Child(alice, bob)']
        
        # technically, as long as there are at least 2 ids in the identifier string,
        # then even the YAML list syntax is optional, and you can write stuff like this:
        parent4:
          name: Parent 4
          children: >
            Child(
              grace,
              judy,
            )
        ```
        
        ### Faker and Jinja Templating
        
        All of the YAML fixtures files are rendered by Jinja before getting loaded. This means you have full access to the Jinja environment, and can use things like `faker`, `range` and `random`:
        
        ```jinja
        # db/fixtures/Child.yaml
        
        {% for i in range(0, 20) %}
        child{{ i }}:
          name: {{ faker.name() }}
        {% endfor %}
        ```
        
        ```jinja
        # db/fixtures/Parent.yaml
        
        {% for i in range(0, 10) %}
        parent{{ i }}:
          name: {{ faker.name() }}
          children: {{ random_models('Child', 0, range(0, 4)|random) }}
        {% endfor %}
        ```

        * Or even better, open a pull request with the fix!
        
        ### Adding support for other ORMs
        
        You must implement a concrete factory by extending `py_yaml_fixtures.FactoryInterface`. There are two abstract methods that must be implemented: `create_or_update`, `get_relationships`, and `maybe_convert_values` (see the SQLAlchemyModelFactory implementation as a reference).
