Core

class ontic.core.Core(*args, **kwargs)

The root type of Ontic types.

Core provides for Ontic object properties to be accessible as either dict key-value pairs or as object attributes. Core also supports dict style initialization.

Dict Style Initialization

Core() -> new empty Core

Core(mapping) -> new Core initialized from a mapping object’s (key, value) pairs

Core(iterable) -> new Core initialized as if via:

d = Core()
for k, v in iterable:
    d[k] = v

Core(**kwargs) -> new Core initialized with the name=value pairs in the keyword argument list. For example:

Core(one=1, two=2)

Example dict style and object style initialization:

>>> some_object = Core({'key1': 'value1'}) # Dict style initialization
>>> other_object = Core(key1='value1') # Object style initialization

Example dict style and object style property access:

>>> # Object attribute access to value
>>> assert some_object.key1 == 'value1'
>>> assert other_object.key1 == 'value1'
>>> # Dict key access to value
>>> assert some_object['key1'] == 'value1'
>>> assert other_object['key1'] == 'value1'
>>> # Dynamic property assignment is supported
>>> some_object.key2 = 'value2' # Object value initialization
>>> assert some_object['key2'] == 'value2'
>>> other_object['key3'] = 'value3' # Dict style key-value assignment
>>> assert other_object.key3 == 'value3'
