lamindb.core.ParamValue

class lamindb.core.ParamValue(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: Record

Parameters with values akin to FeatureValue.

Simple fields

value: Any

The JSON-like value.

created_at: datetime

Time of creation of record.

Relational fields

param: Param

The dimension metadata.

created_by: User

Creator of record.

runs

Accessor to the related objects manager on the forward and reverse sides of a many-to-many relation.

In the example:

class Pizza(Model):
    toppings = ManyToManyField(Topping, related_name='pizzas')

Pizza.toppings and Topping.pizzas are ManyToManyDescriptor instances.

Most of the implementation is delegated to a dynamically defined manager class built by create_forward_many_to_many_manager() defined below.

Class methods

classmethod df(include=None, join='inner', limit=100)

Convert to pd.DataFrame.

By default, shows all direct fields, except updated_at.

If you’d like to include other fields, use parameter include.

Parameters:
  • include (str | list[str] | None, default: None) – Related fields to include as columns. Takes strings of form "labels__name", "cell_types__name", etc. or a list of such strings.

  • join (str, default: 'inner') – The join parameter of pandas.

Return type:

DataFrame

Examples

>>> labels = [ln.ULabel(name="Label {i}") for i in range(3)]
>>> ln.save(labels)
>>> ln.ULabel.filter().df(include=["created_by__name"])
classmethod filter(*queries, **expressions)

Query records.

Parameters:
  • queries – One or multiple Q objects.

  • expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

QuerySet

Returns:

A QuerySet.

Examples

>>> ln.ULabel(name="my ulabel").save()
>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get(name="my ulabel")
classmethod get(idlike=None, **expressions)

Get a single record.

Parameters:
  • idlike (int | str | None, default: None) – Either a uid stub, uid or an integer id.

  • expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

Record

Returns:

A record.

Raises:

lamindb.core.exceptions.DoesNotExist – In case no matching record is found.

Examples

>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get("2riu039")
>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get(name="my-label")
classmethod lookup(field=None, return_field=None)

Return an auto-complete object for a field.

Parameters:
  • field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field to look up the values for. Defaults to first string field.

  • return_field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field to return. If None, returns the whole record.

Return type:

NamedTuple

Returns:

A NamedTuple of lookup information of the field values with a dictionary converter.

search()

Examples

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> bt.settings.organism = "human"
>>> bt.Gene.from_source(symbol="ADGB-DT").save()
>>> lookup = bt.Gene.lookup()
>>> lookup.adgb_dt
>>> lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
>>> lookup_dict['ADGB-DT']
>>> lookup_by_ensembl_id = bt.Gene.lookup(field="ensembl_gene_id")
>>> genes.ensg00000002745
>>> lookup_return_symbols = bt.Gene.lookup(field="ensembl_gene_id", return_field="symbol")
classmethod search(string, *, field=None, limit=20, case_sensitive=False)

Search.

Parameters:
  • string (str) – The input string to match against the field ontology values.

  • field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field or fields to search. Search all string fields by default.

  • limit (int | None, default: 20) – Maximum amount of top results to return.

  • case_sensitive (bool, default: False) – Whether the match is case sensitive.

Return type:

QuerySet

Returns:

A sorted DataFrame of search results with a score in column score. If return_queryset is True. QuerySet.

Examples

>>> ulabels = ln.ULabel.from_values(["ULabel1", "ULabel2", "ULabel3"], field="name")
>>> ln.save(ulabels)
>>> ln.ULabel.search("ULabel2")
classmethod using(instance)

Use a non-default LaminDB instance.

Parameters:

instance (str | None) – An instance identifier of form “account_handle/instance_name”.

Return type:

QuerySet

Examples

>>> ln.ULabel.using("account_handle/instance_name").search("ULabel7", field="name")

ULabel5  t4Jm6s0q   75.0
ULabel6  r2Xw8p1z   75.0

Methods

delete()

Delete.

Return type:

None

save(*args, **kwargs)

Save.

Always saves to the default database.

Return type:

Record

async adelete(using=None, keep_parents=False)
async arefresh_from_db(using=None, fields=None, from_queryset=None)
async asave(*args, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)
clean()

Hook for doing any extra model-wide validation after clean() has been called on every field by self.clean_fields. Any ValidationError raised by this method will not be associated with a particular field; it will have a special-case association with the field defined by NON_FIELD_ERRORS.

clean_fields(exclude=None)

Clean all fields and raise a ValidationError containing a dict of all validation errors if any occur.

date_error_message(lookup_type, field_name, unique_for)
get_constraints()
get_deferred_fields()

Return a set containing names of deferred fields for this instance.

prepare_database_save(field)
refresh_from_db(using=None, fields=None, from_queryset=None)

Reload field values from the database.

By default, the reloading happens from the database this instance was loaded from, or by the read router if this instance wasn’t loaded from any database. The using parameter will override the default.

Fields can be used to specify which fields to reload. The fields should be an iterable of field attnames. If fields is None, then all non-deferred fields are reloaded.

When accessing deferred fields of an instance, the deferred loading of the field will call this method.

save_base(raw=False, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)

Handle the parts of saving which should be done only once per save, yet need to be done in raw saves, too. This includes some sanity checks and signal sending.

The ‘raw’ argument is telling save_base not to save any parent models and not to do any changes to the values before save. This is used by fixture loading.

serializable_value(field_name)

Return the value of the field name for this instance. If the field is a foreign key, return the id value instead of the object. If there’s no Field object with this name on the model, return the model attribute’s value.

Used to serialize a field’s value (in the serializer, or form output, for example). Normally, you would just access the attribute directly and not use this method.

unique_error_message(model_class, unique_check)
validate_constraints(exclude=None)
validate_unique(exclude=None)

Check unique constraints on the model and raise ValidationError if any failed.
