# Sanic Application
|
||||
|
||||
## Instance
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
The most basic building block is the `Sanic()` instance. It is not required, but the custom is to instantiate this in a file called `server.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# /path/to/server.py
|
||||
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("MyHelloWorldApp")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Application context
|
||||
|
||||
Most applications will have the need to share/reuse data or objects across different parts of the code base. The most common example is DB connections.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
In versions of Sanic prior to v21.3, this was commonly done by attaching an attribute to the application instance
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Raises a warning as deprecated feature in 21.3
|
||||
app = Sanic("MyApp")
|
||||
app.db = Database()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Because this can create potential problems with name conflicts, and to be consistent with [request context](./request.md#context) objects, v21.3 introduces application level context object.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Correct way to attach objects to the application
|
||||
app = Sanic("MyApp")
|
||||
app.ctx.db = Database()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## App Registry
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
When you instantiate a Sanic instance, that can be retrieved at a later time from the Sanic app registry. This can be useful, for example, if you need to access your Sanic instance from a location where it is not otherwise accessible.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ./path/to/server.py
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("my_awesome_server")
|
||||
|
||||
# ./path/to/somewhere_else.py
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic.get_app("my_awesome_server")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
If you call `Sanic.get_app("non-existing")` on an app that does not exist, it will raise `SanicException` by default. You can, instead, force the method to return a new instance of Sanic with that name.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
app = Sanic.get_app(
|
||||
"non-existing",
|
||||
force_create=True,
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
If there is **only one** Sanic instance registered, then calling `Sanic.get_app()` with no arguments will return that instance
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Sanic("My only app")
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic.get_app()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Sanic holds the configuration in the `config` attribute of the `Sanic` instance. Configuration can be modified **either** using dot-notation **OR** like a dictionary.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
app = Sanic('myapp')
|
||||
|
||||
app.config.DB_NAME = 'appdb'
|
||||
app.config['DB_USER'] = 'appuser'
|
||||
|
||||
db_settings = {
|
||||
'DB_HOST': 'localhost',
|
||||
'DB_NAME': 'appdb',
|
||||
'DB_USER': 'appuser'
|
||||
}
|
||||
app.config.update(db_settings)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: Heads up
|
||||
|
||||
Config keys _should_ be uppercase. But, this is mainly by convention, and lowercase will work most of the time.
|
||||
```
|
||||
app.config.GOOD = "yay!"
|
||||
app.config.bad = "boo"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There is much [more detail about configuration](/guide/deployment/configuration.md) later on.
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
|
||||
The Sanic application instance can be customized for your application needs in a variety of ways at instantiation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom configuration
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
This simplest form of custom configuration would be to pass your own object directly into that Sanic application instance
|
||||
|
||||
If you create a custom configuration object, it is *highly* recommended that you subclass the Sanic `Config` option to inherit its behavior. You could use this option for adding properties, or your own set of custom logic.
|
||||
|
||||
*Added in v21.6*
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
|
||||
class MyConfig(Config):
|
||||
FOO = "bar"
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., config=MyConfig())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
A useful example of this feature would be if you wanted to use a config file in a form that differs from what is [supported](../deployment/configuration.md#using-sanic-update-config).
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic, text
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
|
||||
class TomlConfig(Config):
|
||||
def __init__(self, *args, path: str, **kwargs):
|
||||
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
|
||||
|
||||
with open(path, "r") as f:
|
||||
self.apply(toml.load(f))
|
||||
|
||||
def apply(self, config):
|
||||
self.update(self._to_uppercase(config))
|
||||
|
||||
def _to_uppercase(self, obj: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
|
||||
retval: Dict[str, Any] = {}
|
||||
for key, value in obj.items():
|
||||
upper_key = key.upper()
|
||||
if isinstance(value, list):
|
||||
retval[upper_key] = [
|
||||
self._to_uppercase(item) for item in value
|
||||
]
|
||||
elif isinstance(value, dict):
|
||||
retval[upper_key] = self._to_uppercase(value)
|
||||
else:
|
||||
retval[upper_key] = value
|
||||
return retval
|
||||
|
||||
toml_config = TomlConfig(path="/path/to/config.toml")
|
||||
app = Sanic(toml_config.APP_NAME, config=toml_config)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom context
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the application context is a [`SimpleNamespace()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/types.html#types.SimpleNamespace) that allows you to set any properties you want on it. However, you also have the option of passing any object whatsoever instead.
|
||||
|
||||
*Added in v21.6*
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., ctx=1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., ctx={})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class MyContext:
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., ctx=MyContext())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom requests
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
It is sometimes helpful to have your own `Request` class, and tell Sanic to use that instead of the default. One example is if you wanted to modify the default `request.id` generator.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: Important
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to remember that you are passing the *class* not an instance of the class.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import time
|
||||
|
||||
from sanic import Request, Sanic, text
|
||||
|
||||
class NanoSecondRequest(Request):
|
||||
@classmethod
|
||||
def generate_id(*_):
|
||||
return time.time_ns()
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., request_class=NanoSecondRequest)
|
||||
|
||||
@app.get("/")
|
||||
async def handler(request):
|
||||
return text(str(request.id))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom error handler
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
See [exception handling](../best-practices/exceptions.md#custom-error-handling) for more
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic.handlers import ErrorHandler
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomErrorHandler(ErrorHandler):
|
||||
def default(self, request, exception):
|
||||
''' handles errors that have no error handlers assigned '''
|
||||
# You custom error handling logic...
|
||||
return super().default(request, exception)
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(..., error_handler=CustomErrorHandler())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom dumps function
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
It may sometimes be necessary or desirable to provide a custom function that serializes an object to JSON data.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import ujson
|
||||
|
||||
dumps = partial(ujson.dumps, escape_forward_slashes=False)
|
||||
app = Sanic(__name__, dumps=dumps)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Or, perhaps use another library or create your own.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from orjson import dumps
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(__name__, dumps=dumps)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom loads function
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to `dumps`, you can also provide a custom function for deserializing data.
|
||||
|
||||
*Added in v22.9*
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from orjson import loads
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(__name__, loads=loads)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. new:: NEW in v23.6
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom typed application
|
||||
|
||||
The correct, default type of a Sanic application instance is:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
sanic.app.Sanic[sanic.config.Config, types.SimpleNamespace]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It refers to two generic types:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The first is the type of the configuration object. It defaults to `sanic.config.Config`, but can be any subclass of that.
|
||||
2. The second is the type of the application context. It defaults to `types.SimpleNamespace`, but can be **any object** as show above.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at some examples of how the type will change.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Consider this example where we pass a custom subclass of `Config` and a custom context object.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomConfig(Config):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("test", config=CustomConfig())
|
||||
reveal_type(app) # N: Revealed type is "sanic.app.Sanic[main.CustomConfig, types.SimpleNamespace]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
sanic.app.Sanic[main.CustomConfig, types.SimpleNamespace]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, when passing a custom context object, the type will change to reflect that.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
|
||||
class Foo:
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("test", ctx=Foo())
|
||||
reveal_type(app) # N: Revealed type is "sanic.app.Sanic[sanic.config.Config, main.Foo]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
sanic.app.Sanic[sanic.config.Config, main.Foo]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you can set both the config and context to custom types.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Sanic
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomConfig(Config):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
class Foo:
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("test", config=CustomConfig(), ctx=Foo())
|
||||
reveal_type(app) # N: Revealed type is "sanic.app.Sanic[main.CustomConfig, main.Foo]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
sanic.app.Sanic[main.CustomConfig, main.Foo]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern is particularly useful if you create a custom type alias for your application instance so that you can use it to annotate listeners and handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ./path/to/types.py
|
||||
from sanic.app import Sanic
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
from myapp.context import MyContext
|
||||
from typing import TypeAlias
|
||||
|
||||
MyApp = TypeAlias("MyApp", Sanic[Config, MyContext])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ./path/to/listeners.py
|
||||
from myapp.types import MyApp
|
||||
|
||||
def add_listeners(app: MyApp):
|
||||
@app.before_server_start
|
||||
async def before_server_start(app: MyApp):
|
||||
# do something with your fully typed app instance
|
||||
await app.ctx.db.connect()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ./path/to/server.py
|
||||
from myapp.types import MyApp
|
||||
from myapp.context import MyContext
|
||||
from myapp.config import MyConfig
|
||||
from myapp.listeners import add_listeners
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic("myapp", config=MyConfig(), ctx=MyContext())
|
||||
add_listeners(app)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*Added in v23.6*
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom typed request
|
||||
|
||||
Sanic also allows you to customize the type of the request object. This is useful if you want to add custom properties to the request object, or be able to access your custom properties of a typed application instance.
|
||||
|
||||
The correct, default type of a Sanic request instance is:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
sanic.request.Request[
|
||||
sanic.app.Sanic[sanic.config.Config, types.SimpleNamespace],
|
||||
types.SimpleNamespace
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It refers to two generic types:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The first is the type of the application instance. It defaults to `sanic.app.Sanic[sanic.config.Config, types.SimpleNamespace]`, but can be any subclass of that.
|
||||
2. The second is the type of the request context. It defaults to `types.SimpleNamespace`, but can be **any object** as show above in [custom requests](#custom-requests).
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at some examples of how the type will change.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Expanding upon the full example above where there is a type alias for a customized application instance, we can also create a custom request type so that we can access those same type annotations.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you do not need type aliases for this to work. We are only showing them here to cut down on the amount of code shown.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Request
|
||||
from myapp.types import MyApp
|
||||
from types import SimpleNamespace
|
||||
|
||||
def add_routes(app: MyApp):
|
||||
@app.get("/")
|
||||
async def handler(request: Request[MyApp, SimpleNamespace]):
|
||||
# do something with your fully typed app instance
|
||||
results = await request.app.ctx.db.query("SELECT * FROM foo")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps you have a custom request object that generates a custom context object. You can type annotate it to properly access those properties with your IDE as shown here.
|
||||
|
||||
.. column::
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from sanic import Request, Sanic
|
||||
from sanic.config import Config
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomConfig(Config):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
class Foo:
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
class RequestContext:
|
||||
foo: Foo
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomRequest(Request[Sanic[CustomConfig, Foo], RequestContext]):
|
||||
@staticmethod
|
||||
def make_context() -> RequestContext:
|
||||
ctx = RequestContext()
|
||||
ctx.foo = Foo()
|
||||
return ctx
|
||||
|
||||
app = Sanic(
|
||||
"test", config=CustomConfig(), ctx=Foo(), request_class=CustomRequest
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
@app.get("/")
|
||||
async def handler(request: CustomRequest):
|
||||
# Full access to typed:
|
||||
# - custom application configuration object
|
||||
# - custom application context object
|
||||
# - custom request context object
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
