Base module API

This is the flask_mongoengine main modules API documentation.

flask_mongoengine.connection module

Module responsible for connection setup.

flask_mongoengine.connection._get_name(setting_name)[source]

Return known pymongo setting name, or lower case name for unknown.

This problem discovered in issue #451. As mentioned there pymongo settings are not case-sensitive, but mongoengine use exact name of some settings for matching, overwriting pymongo behaviour.

This function address this issue, and potentially address cases when pymongo will become case-sensitive in some settings by same reasons as mongoengine done.

Based on pymongo 4.1.1 settings.

Return type:: str

flask_mongoengine.connection._sanitize_settings(settings)[source]

Remove MONGODB_ prefix from dict values, to correct bypass to mongoengine.

Return type:: dict

flask_mongoengine.connection.create_connections(config)[source]: Given Flask application’s config dict, extract relevant config vars out of it and establish MongoEngine connection(s) based on them.

flask_mongoengine.connection.get_connection_settings(config)[source]

Given a config dict, return a sanitized dict of MongoDB connection settings that we can then use to establish connections. For new applications, settings should exist in a MONGODB_SETTINGS key, but for backward compatibility we also support several config keys prefixed by MONGODB_, e.g. MONGODB_HOST, MONGODB_PORT, etc.

Return type:: List[dict]

flask_mongoengine.db_fields module

Responsible for mongoengine fields extension, if WTFForms integration used.

Filter fields names for further form generation.

Parameters:

only (Optional[List[str]]) – An optional iterable with the property names that should be included in the form. Only these properties will have fields. Fields are always appear in provided order, this allows user to change form fields ordering, without changing database model.
exclude (Optional[List[str]]) – An optional iterable with the property names that should be excluded from the form. All other properties will have fields. Fields are appears in order, defined in model, excluding provided fields names. For adjusting fields ordering, use only.

Generate WTForm from Document model.

Parameters:

base_class (Type[ModelForm]) – Base form class to extend from. Must be a ModelForm subclass.
only (Optional[List[str]]) – An optional iterable with the property names that should be included in the form. Only these properties will have fields. Fields are always appear in provided order, this allows user to change form fields ordering, without changing database model.
exclude (Optional[List[str]]) – An optional iterable with the property names that should be excluded from the form. All other properties will have fields. Fields are appears in order, defined in model, excluding provided fields names. For adjusting fields ordering, use only.
fields_kwargs (Optional[Dict[str, Dict]]) –
An optional dictionary of dictionaries, where field names mapping to keyword arguments used to construct each field object. Has the highest priority over all fields settings (made in Document field definition). Field options are directly passed to field generation, so must match WTForm Field keyword arguments. Support special field keyword option wtf_field_class, that can be used for complete field class replacement.

Dictionary format example:
```
dictionary = {
    "field_name":{
        "label":"new",
        "default": "new",
        "wtf_field_class": wtforms.fields.StringField
    }
}
```
With such dictionary for field with name field_name wtforms.fields.StringField will be called like:
```
field_name = wtforms.fields.StringField(label="new", default="new")
```

Return type:

Type[ModelForm]
