Adding Gitmixin to your project

SQLALchemy projects typically have a database defined in models. In your models.py file or equivalent, import GitMixin near the top of the file.

from gitmixin import GitMixin

Then, in your SQLAlchemy class, inherit the GitMixin we just imported to give that model SQLAlchemy methods & allow it to access that models' event hooks.

class Notes(Base, GitMixin):

Finally in the model, add a new private attribute trackedfields, and let it equal a list of strings that you intend to track. The strings inside this list should be names of fields you want to track.

class Notes(Base, GitMixin):
    __tablename__ = 'notes'
    __trackedfields__ = ['notes', 'links']
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    notes =  Column(String(200))
    links = Column(String(200))

A finished example

# imports
from gitmixin import GitMixin

# SQLAlchemy
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base

# ...

Base = declarative_base()


class Notes(Base, GitMixin):
    __tablename__ = 'notes'
    __trackedfields__ = ['notes', 'links']
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    notes =  Column(String(200))
    links = Column(String(200))
