Returns:

Type Description
Registry | type

The registry associated to the key.

Raises:

Type Description

objectory.registry.Registry.factory

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

Instantiate dynamically an object given its configuration.

Please read the documentation for more information.

Parameters:

_target_

Specifies the name of the object (class or function) to instantiate. It can be the class name or the full class name.

required
*args Any

Variable length argument list.

()
_init_ str

Specifies the function to use to create the object. If "__init__", the object is created by calling the constructor.

'__init__'
**kwargs Any

Arbitrary keyword arguments.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
Any

The instantiated object with the given parameters.

Raises:

Type Description
AbstractClassAbstractFactoryError

if you try to instantiate an abstract class.

UnregisteredClassAbstractFactoryError

if the target name is not found.

Example usage:

>>> 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

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

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
name str | None

Specifies 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

The decorated object.

Example usage:

>>> 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 of a given class.

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 full name of each object.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
cls type

Specifies the class to register its child classes.

required
ignore_abstract_class bool

Indicate if the abstract class should be ignored or not. Be default, the abstract classes are not registered because they cannot be instantiated.

True

Example usage:

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

objectory.registry.Registry.register_object

) -> None

Register an object.

Please read the documentation for more information.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
obj type | Callable

Specifies the object to register. The object is expected to be a class or a function.

required

Specifies the name to use to register the object. If None, the full name of the object is used as name.

None

Example usage:

>>> from objectory import Registry
>>> registry = Registry()
>>> class ClassToRegister:
...     pass
...

objectory.registry.Registry.set_class_filter

set_class_filter(cls: type | None) -> None
