Registry

objectory.registry

Implement the registry class.

objectory.registry.Registry

This class can be used to register some objects and instantiate an object from its configuration.

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.register_object(Counter)
>>> registry.factory("collections.Counter")
Counter()

__getattr__(key: str) -> Registry | type

Get the registry associated to a key.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
key	str	The key.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Registry | type	The registry associated to the key.

Raises:

Type	Description
InvalidAttributeRegistryError	if the associated attribute is not a registry.

Example

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.other.register_object(Counter)

objectory.registry.Registry.__len__

__len__() -> int

Return the number of registered objects.

Returns:

objectory.registry.Registry.clear

clear(nested: bool = False) -> None

Clear the registry.

This functions removes all the registered objects in the registry.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
nested	bool	Indicates if the sub-registries should be cleared or not.	False

Example

objectory.registry.Registry.factory

factory(
    _target_: str,
    *args: Any,
    _init_: str = "__init__",
    **kwargs: Any
) -> Any

Instantiate dynamically an object given its configuration.

This method creates an instance of a registered class or calls a registered function. The target can be specified using either the short name or the fully qualified name. If the target is not yet registered, it will attempt to import and register it automatically.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
_target_	str	The name of the object (class or function) to instantiate. It can be the class name or the full class name. Supports name resolution for registered objects.	required
*args	Any	Positional arguments to pass to the class constructor or function.	()
_init_	str	The function or method to use to create the object. If "__init__" (default), the object is created by calling the constructor. Can also be "__new__" or the name of a class method.	'__init__'
**kwargs	Any	Keyword arguments to pass to the class constructor or function.	{}

Returns:

Type	Description
Any	The instantiated object with the given parameters.

Raises:

Type	Description
AbstractClassAbstractFactoryError	when an abstract class is instantiated.
UnregisteredClassAbstractFactoryError	if the target name is not found.

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> @registry.register()
... class MyClass:
...     pass
...
>>> registry.factory("MyClass")
<....MyClass object at 0x...>

objectory.registry.Registry.register

register(
    name: str | None = None,
) -> Callable[[Registerable], Registerable]

Define a decorator to add a class or a function to the registry.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str | None	The name to use to register the object. If None, the full name of the object is used as name.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
Callable[[Registerable], Registerable]	The decorated object.

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> @registry.register()
... class ClassToRegister:
...     pass
...
>>> registry.registered_names()
{'....ClassToRegister'}
>>> @registry.register()
... def function_to_register(*args, **kwargs):
...     pass
...
>>> registry.registered_names()
{...}

objectory.registry.Registry.register_child_classes

register_child_classes(
    cls: type, ignore_abstract_class: bool = True
) -> None

Register a given class and its child classes.

This function registers all the child classes including the child classes of the child classes, etc. If you use this function, you cannot choose the names used to register the objects. It will use the fully qualified name of each object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	type	The class to register along with its child classes.	required
ignore_abstract_class	bool	Indicate if the abstract classes should be ignored or not. By default, the abstract classes are not registered because they cannot be instantiated.	True

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.register_child_classes(dict)
>>> registry.registered_names()
{...}

objectory.registry.Registry.register_object

register_object(
    obj: type | Callable, name: str | None = None
) -> None

Register an object.

This method adds a class or function to the registry, making it available for instantiation through the factory method. You can optionally specify a custom name for the object; otherwise, its fully qualified name will be used. If a class filter is set, the object must be a subclass of the filter class.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
obj	type | Callable	The object to register. The object must be a class or a function (not a lambda function).	required
name	str | None	The name to use to register the object. If None, the fully qualified name of the object is used. Cannot conflict with sub-registry names.	None

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> class ClassToRegister:
...     pass
...
>>> registry.register_object(ClassToRegister)
>>> registry.registered_names()
{'....ClassToRegister'}
>>> def function_to_register(*args, **kwargs):
...     pass
...
>>> registry.register_object(function_to_register)
>>> registry.registered_names()
{...}

objectory.registry.Registry.registered_names

registered_names(include_registry: bool = True) -> set[str]

Get the names of all the registered objects.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
include_registry	bool	Indicates if the other (sub-)registries should be included in the set. By default, the other (sub-)registries are included.	True

Returns:

Type	Description
set[str]	The names of the registered objects.

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.registered_names()
>>> # Show name of all the registered objects except the sub-registries.
>>> registry.registered_names(include_registry=False)

objectory.registry.Registry.set_class_filter

set_class_filter(cls: type | None) -> None

Set the class filter so only the child classes of this class can be registered.

If you set this filter, you cannot register functions. To unset this filter, you can use set_class_filter(None).

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	type | None	The class to use as filter. Only the child classes of this class can be registered.	required

Raises:

Type	Description
TypeError	if the input is not a class or None.

Example

>>> from collections import Counter, OrderedDict
>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.mapping.set_class_filter(dict)
>>> registry.mapping.register_object(OrderedDict)
>>> registry.mapping.registered_names()
{'collections.OrderedDict'}

objectory.registry.Registry.unregister

unregister(name: str) -> None

Remove a registered object.

This method removes a class or function from the registry. The object will no longer be available for instantiation through the factory method.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	The name of the object to remove. Can be either the short name or the fully qualified name. This function uses the name resolution mechanism to find the full name if only the short name is given.	required

Raises:

Type	Description
UnregisteredObjectFactoryError	if the name does not exist in the registry.

Example

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> registry.register_object(Counter)
>>> registry.unregister("collections.Counter")
