Documentation¶

Basic Usage¶
The first step for any program is to create a client
instance.
This object must be explicitly threaded through any code that needs to access FaunaDB.
FaunaDB can be used directly using the query
API.
Building it yourself¶
Setup¶
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install .
Testing¶
To run the tests you must have a FaunaDB database available.
Then set the environment variable FAUNA_ROOT_KEY
to your database’s root key.
If you use FaunaDB cloud, this is the password you log in with.
Then run make test
.
To test a single test, use e.g. python -m unittest tests.test_client.ClientTest.test_ping
.
Coverage¶
To run the tests with coverage, install the coverage dependencies with pip install .[coverage]
,
and then run make coverage
. A summary will be displayed to the terminal, and a detailed coverage report
will be available at htmlcov/index.html
.
Documenting¶
Run pip install .[doc]
to install the needed packages to generate the docs.
