SQLAlchemy Model Django like Save Method?

You can extend your models with some simple crud methods to achieve something similar to Django ORM / ActiveRecord:

# SQLAlchemy db_session setup omitted
...

Model = declarative_base(name="Model")
Model.query = db_session.query_property()

class CRUD():

     def save(self):
         if self.id == None:
             db_session.add(self)
         return db_session.commit()

      def destroy(self):
          db_session.delete(self)
          return db_session.commit()

class User(Model, CRUD):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = db.Column(db.integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)

    def __init__(self, email):
        self.email = email

You can then save or destroy the model as needed:

user = User('[email protected]')
user.save()
