lamindb.User¶

class lamindb.User(handle: str, email: str, name: str | None)¶

Bases: Record, CanValidate

Users.

All data in this registry is synched from lamin.ai to ensure a universal user identity. There is no need to manually create records.

Examples

Query a user by handle:

>>> user = ln.User.get(handle="testuser1")
>>> user

Simple fields¶

uid: str¶: Universal id, valid across DB instances.

handle: str¶: Universal handle, valid across DB instances (required).

name: str¶: Name (optional).

created_at: datetime¶: Time of creation of record.

updated_at: datetime¶: Time of last update to record.

Relational fields¶

created_transforms: Transform¶: Transforms created by user.

created_runs: Run¶: Runs created by user.

created_artifacts: Artifact¶: Artifacts created by user.

Class methods¶

classmethod df(include=None, join='inner', limit=100)¶

Convert to pd.DataFrame.

By default, shows all direct fields, except updated_at.

If you’d like to include other fields, use parameter include.

Parameters:

include (str | list[str] | None, default: None) – Related fields to include as columns. Takes strings of form "labels__name", "cell_types__name", etc. or a list of such strings.
join (str, default: 'inner') – The join parameter of pandas.

Return type:

DataFrame

Examples

>>> labels = [ln.ULabel(name="Label {i}") for i in range(3)]
>>> ln.save(labels)
>>> ln.ULabel.filter().df(include=["created_by__name"])

classmethod filter(*queries, **expressions)¶

Query records.

Parameters:

queries – One or multiple Q objects.
expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

QuerySet

Returns:

A QuerySet.

Examples

>>> ln.ULabel(name="my ulabel").save()
>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get(name="my ulabel")

classmethod from_values(values, field=None, create=False, organism=None, source=None, mute=False)¶

Bulk create validated records by parsing values for an identifier such as a name or an id).

Parameters:

values (List[str] | Series | array) – A list of values for an identifier, e.g. ["name1", "name2"].
field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – A Record field to look up, e.g., bt.CellMarker.name.
create (bool, default: False) – Whether to create records if they don’t exist.
organism (Record | str | None, default: None) – A bionty.Organism name or record.
source (Record | None, default: None) – A bionty.Source record to validate against to create records for.
mute (bool, default: False) – Whether to mute logging.

Return type:

list[Record]

Returns:

A list of validated records. For bionty registries. Also returns knowledge-coupled records.

Notes

For more info, see tutorial: Manage biological registries.

Examples

Bulk create from non-validated values will log warnings & returns empty list:

>>> ulabels = ln.ULabel.from_values(["benchmark", "prediction", "test"], field="name")
>>> assert len(ulabels) == 0

Bulk create records from validated values returns the corresponding existing records:

>>> ln.save([ln.ULabel(name=name) for name in ["benchmark", "prediction", "test"]])
>>> ulabels = ln.ULabel.from_values(["benchmark", "prediction", "test"], field="name")
>>> assert len(ulabels) == 3

Bulk create records from public reference:

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> records = bt.CellType.from_values(["T cell", "B cell"], field="name")
>>> records

classmethod get(idlike=None, **expressions)¶

Get a single record.

Parameters:

idlike (int | str | None, default: None) – Either a uid stub, uid or an integer id.
expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

Methods¶

add_synonym(synonym, force=False, save=None)¶

synonym (str | List[str] | Series | array) – The synonyms to add to the record.
force (bool, default: False) – Whether to add synonyms even if they are already synonyms of other records.
save (bool | None, default: None) – Whether to save the record to the database.

See also

remove_synonym(): Remove synonyms.

Examples

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> bt.CellType.from_source(name="T cell").save()
>>> lookup = bt.CellType.lookup()
>>> record = lookup.t_cell
>>> record.synonyms
'T-cell|T lymphocyte|T-lymphocyte'
>>> record.add_synonym("T cells")
>>> record.synonyms
'T cells|T-cell|T-lymphocyte|T lymphocyte'

async adelete(using=None, keep_parents=False)¶

async arefresh_from_db(using=None, fields=None, from_queryset=None)¶

async asave(*args, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)¶

clean()¶: Hook for doing any extra model-wide validation after clean() has been called on every field by self.clean_fields. Any ValidationError raised by this method will not be associated with a particular field; it will have a special-case association with the field defined by NON_FIELD_ERRORS.

clean_fields(exclude=None)¶: Clean all fields and raise a ValidationError containing a dict of all validation errors if any occur.

date_error_message(lookup_type, field_name, unique_for)¶

delete()¶

Delete.

Return type:: None

get_constraints()¶

get_deferred_fields()¶: Return a set containing names of deferred fields for this instance.

prepare_database_save(field)¶

refresh_from_db(using=None, fields=None, from_queryset=None)¶

Reload field values from the database.

By default, the reloading happens from the database this instance was loaded from, or by the read router if this instance wasn’t loaded from any database. The using parameter will override the default.

Fields can be used to specify which fields to reload. The fields should be an iterable of field attnames. If fields is None, then all non-deferred fields are reloaded.

When accessing deferred fields of an instance, the deferred loading of the field will call this method.

remove_synonym(synonym)¶

Remove synonyms from a record.

Parameters:: synonym (str | List[str] | Series | array) – The synonym values to remove.

See also

add_synonym(): Add synonyms

Examples

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> bt.CellType.from_source(name="T cell").save()
>>> lookup = bt.CellType.lookup()
>>> record = lookup.t_cell
>>> record.synonyms
'T-cell|T lymphocyte|T-lymphocyte'
>>> record.remove_synonym("T-cell")
'T lymphocyte|T-lymphocyte'

save(*args, **kwargs)¶

Save.

Always saves to the default database.

Return type:: Record

save_base(raw=False, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)¶

Handle the parts of saving which should be done only once per save, yet need to be done in raw saves, too. This includes some sanity checks and signal sending.

The ‘raw’ argument is telling save_base not to save any parent models and not to do any changes to the values before save. This is used by fixture loading.

serializable_value(field_name)¶

Return the value of the field name for this instance. If the field is a foreign key, return the id value instead of the object. If there’s no Field object with this name on the model, return the model attribute’s value.

Used to serialize a field’s value (in the serializer, or form output, for example). Normally, you would just access the attribute directly and not use this method.

set_abbr(value)¶

Set value for abbr field and add to synonyms.

Parameters:: value (str) – A value for an abbreviation.

See also

add_synonym()

Examples

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> bt.ExperimentalFactor.from_source(name="single-cell RNA sequencing").save()
>>> scrna = bt.ExperimentalFactor.get(name="single-cell RNA sequencing")
>>> scrna.abbr
None
>>> scrna.synonyms
'single-cell RNA-seq|single-cell transcriptome sequencing|scRNA-seq|single cell RNA sequencing'
>>> scrna.set_abbr("scRNA")
>>> scrna.abbr
'scRNA'
>>> scrna.synonyms
'scRNA|single-cell RNA-seq|single cell RNA sequencing|single-cell transcriptome sequencing|scRNA-seq'
>>> scrna.save()

unique_error_message(model_class, unique_check)¶

validate_constraints(exclude=None)¶

validate_unique(exclude=None)¶: Check unique constraints on the model and raise ValidationError if any failed.
