BaseResourceMapper

Generic Resource Mapper that defines and performs the mapping between objects in the database and the resource objects defined by the specification.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
ENDPOINT str

defines the endpoint for which to apply this mapper.

ALIASES Tuple[Tuple[str, str]]

a tuple of aliases between OPTIMADE field names and the field names in the database , e.g. (("elements", "custom_elements_field")).

LENGTH_ALIASES Tuple[Tuple[str, str]]

a tuple of aliases between a field name and another field that defines its length, to be used when querying, e.g. (("elements", "nelements")). e.g. (("elements", "custom_elements_field")).

PROVIDER_FIELDS Tuple[str]

a tuple of extra field names that this mapper should support when querying with the database prefix.

REQUIRED_FIELDS set[str]

the set of fieldnames to return when mapping to the OPTIMADE format.

TOP_LEVEL_NON_ATTRIBUTES_FIELDS set[str]

the set of top-level field names common to all endpoints.

alias_for(field) classmethod

Return aliased field name.

Deprecated

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
field str

OPTIMADE field name.

required

Returns:

Type Description
str

get_backend_field(optimade_field) classmethod

Return the field name configured for the particular underlying database for the passed OPTIMADE field name, that would be used in an API filter.

Aliases are read from all_aliases().

If a dot-separated OPTIMADE field is provided, e.g., species.mass, only the first part will be mapped. This means for an (OPTIMADE, DB) alias of (species, kinds), get_backend_fields("species.mass") will return kinds.mass.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
optimade_field str

The OPTIMADE field to attempt to map to the backend-specific field.

required

Examples:

>>> get_backend_field("chemical_formula_anonymous")
'formula_anon'
>>> get_backend_field("formula_anon")
'formula_anon'
>>> get_backend_field("_exmpl_custom_provider_field")
'custom_provider_field'

Returns:

Type Description
str

The mapped field name to be used in the query to the backend.

map_back(doc) classmethod

Map properties from MongoDB to OPTIMADE.

Starting from a MongoDB document doc, map the DB fields to the corresponding OPTIMADE fields.

All fields not in cls.TOP_LEVEL_NON_ATTRIBUTES_FIELDS + "attributes" will be removed. Finally, the type is given the value of the specified cls.ENDPOINT.

Parameters:
