PluginMeta Model

PluginMeta model for defining the selection strategy and search terms for Smarter plugins.

class smarter.apps.plugin.models.plugin_meta.PluginMeta(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: MetaDataWithOwnershipModel, SmarterHelperMixin

Represents the core metadata for a Smarter plugin, serving as the central registry for all plugin types.

This class defines the essential identifying and descriptive information for a plugin, including its name, description, type (static, SQL, or API), version, user_profile, and associated tags. Each plugin is uniquely associated with an account and a user_profile, ensuring that plugin names are unique per account and enforcing a snake_case naming convention for consistency and compatibility.

The PluginMeta model acts as the anchor point for related plugin configuration and data models, such as PluginDataStatic, PluginDataSql, and PluginDataApi, which store the specific data and behavior for each plugin type. It is also linked to selection and prompt configuration through PluginSelector and PluginPrompt, enabling flexible plugin discovery and LLM prompt customization.

Validation logic within this class ensures that plugin names conform to required standards, and class methods provide efficient, cached access to plugin instances for a given user or account.

This model is foundational for the Smarter plugin system, enabling the organization, discovery, and management of all plugins within an account, and supporting integration with the broader plugin data and connection models defined in this module.

This property is useful for determining how much time has elapsed since the model instance was last updated, or for comparing the updated_at field to any arbitrary datetime.

Parameters:

  • dt (datetime, optional): The reference datetime to compare against updated_at. - If dt is not provided, the current time is used. - Both naive and timezone-aware datetime objects are supported; the method will handle conversions as needed.

Returns:

  • int or None: The absolute difference in seconds between updated_at and dt. Returns None if updated_at is not set.

Example Usage:

obj = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)
# Time since last update
seconds = obj.elapsed_updated
print(f"Seconds since last update: {seconds}")

# Compare to a specific datetime
import datetime
dt = datetime.datetime(2025, 12, 1, 12, 0, 0)
diff = obj.elapsed_updated(dt)
print(f"Seconds between updated_at and 2025-12-01 12:00:00: {diff}")

Note

  • Handles both naive and aware datetime objects, converting as necessary to ensure accurate calculation.

  • If updated_at is not set (e.g., the object has not been saved), returns None.

Attention

  • If dt is provided and is not a datetime.datetime instance, a TypeError will be raised.

contexts where an obscured, non-identifying, non-sequential identifier is preferred.

Encoding scheme: 1. Take the object’s ID and add a large constant (HASH_FLOOR) to ensure it’s not easily guessable. 2.

Example:

my_record = MyModel.objects.create()
print(my_record.id)  # e.g., 123
hashed_id = my_record.hashed_id  # e.g., "rc2x"

original_id = MyModel.id_from_hashed_id(hashed_id)

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.

Override the save method to validate the field dicts.

This method ensures that all relevant fields are validated before saving the model instance. For example, it checks that the name is in snake_case and converts it if necessary, logs a warning if conversion occurs, and calls the model’s validate() method to enforce any additional validation logic defined on the model. After validation, it proceeds with the standard Django save operation.

Parameters:
  • args – Positional arguments passed to the parent save method.

  • kwargs – Keyword arguments passed to the parent save method.

Returns:

None

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.

smarter_build_absolute_uri(request)

Attempts to get the absolute URI from a request object.

This utility function tries to retrieve the request URL from any valid child class of django.http.HttpRequest. It is especially useful in unit tests or scenarios where the request object may not implement build_absolute_uri().

Parameters:

The absolute request URL.

Return type:

Optional[str]

Raises:

SmarterValueError – If the URI cannot be built from the request.

tags = <taggit.managers._TaggableManager object>
property tags_list: list[str]

Return the tags as a list of strings.

We assume that @cached_property is more efficient at fetch than @cache_results, all things considered equal, which provides a marginal boost to instances. Meanwhile, the @cache_results is persisted to the Django cache, and thus outlives this instance. Thus, best of both worlds.

Returns:

List of tag names.

Return type:

list[str]

A dictionary representation of the model instance suitable for JSON serialization.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

to_snake_case(data, convert_values=False)

Converts a camelCase or PascalCase string to snake_case.
