I'm working on a flask application that uses SQLAlchemy, and I have the models for the database declared in a different file 'db_schema.py' from the main application file 'app.py'. I am getting a circular import error when trying to import the models from db_schema.py back in to app.py.
Error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'User' from partially initialized module 'db_schema' (most likely due to a circular import) (/home/deric/projects/python/flask/chatroom/chatroom/project/db_schema.py)
db_schema.py
from app import db
from flask_login import UserMixin
from datetime import datetime
class User(db.Model, UserMixin):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
username = db.Column(db.String(25), unique = True, index = True, nullable = False)
password = db.Column(db.String(125), unique = False, index = False, nullable = False)
email = db.Column(db.String(30), unique = True, index = True, nullable = False)
chatroom_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('chatroom.id'))
messages_sent = db.relationship('Message', backref='sender', lazy='dynamic', cascade='all, delete')
class Chatroom(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
class Message(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
chatroom_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('chatroom.id'))
sender_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'))
content = db.Column(db.String(150), unique = False, index = True)
time_sent = db.Column(db.DateTime, unique = False, index = True, default=datetime.utcnow)
app.py
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, redirect, request
from flask_login import LoginManager
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from forms import Registration_Form
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///sqlite3.db'
login_manager = LoginManager()
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
from db_schema import User, Message, Chatroom
@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(user_id):
return User.query.filter(id=user_id).first()
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
