Delete

Pydantic-redis can be used to delete model instances from redis.

Create and register the Model

A model is a class that inherits from Model with its _primary_key_field attribute set.

In order for the store to know the existence of the given model, register it using the register_model method of Store

import pprint
from pydantic_redis import Model, Store, RedisConfig


class Book(Model):
    _primary_key_field: str = "title"
    title: str
    author: str


if __name__ == "__main__":
    pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
    store = Store(
        name="some_name", redis_config=RedisConfig(), life_span_in_seconds=86400
    )

    store.register_model(Book)

    Book.insert(
        [
            Book(title="Oliver Twist", author="Charles Dickens"),
            Book(title="Jane Eyre", author="Emily Bronte"),
            Book(title="Pride and Prejudice", author="Jane Austen"),
            Book(title="Utah Blaine", author="Louis L'Amour"),
        ]
    )
    pre_delete_response = Book.select()

    Book.delete(ids=["Oliver Twist", "Pride and Prejudice"])
    post_delete_response = Book.select()

    print("pre-delete:")
    pp.pprint(pre_delete_response)

    print("\npost-delete:")
    pp.pprint(post_delete_response)

Delete Records

To delete many records from redis, pass a list of primary keys (ids) of the records to the model's delete method.

import pprint
from pydantic_redis import Model, Store, RedisConfig


class Book(Model):
    _primary_key_field: str = "title"
    title: str
    author: str


if __name__ == "__main__":
    pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
    store = Store(
        name="some_name", redis_config=RedisConfig(), life_span_in_seconds=86400
    )

    store.register_model(Book)

    Book.insert(
        [
            Book(title="Oliver Twist", author="Charles Dickens"),
            Book(title="Jane Eyre", author="Emily Bronte"),
            Book(title="Pride and Prejudice", author="Jane Austen"),
            Book(title="Utah Blaine", author="Louis L'Amour"),
        ]
    )
    pre_delete_response = Book.select()

    Book.delete(ids=["Oliver Twist", "Pride and Prejudice"])
    post_delete_response = Book.select()

    print("pre-delete:")
    pp.pprint(pre_delete_response)

    print("\npost-delete:")
    pp.pprint(post_delete_response)

Run the App

Running the above code in a file main.py would produce:

Tip

Probably FLUSHALL redis first

$ python main.py
pre-delete:
[   Book(title='Jane Eyre', author='Emily Bronte'),
    Book(title='Oliver Twist', author='Charles Dickens'),
    Book(title='Utah Blaine', author="Louis L'Amour"),
    Book(title='Pride and Prejudice', author='Jane Austen')]

post-delete:
[   Book(title='Jane Eyre', author='Emily Bronte'),
    Book(title='Utah Blaine', author="Louis L'Amour")]
