lamindb.core.ParamValue

class lamindb.core.ParamValue(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: Record

Parameters with values akin to FeatureValue.

Simple fields

value: Any

The JSON-like value.

created_at: datetime

Time of creation of record.

Relational fields

param: Param

The dimension metadata.

created_by: User

Creator of record.

runs

Accessor to the related objects manager on the forward and reverse sides of a many-to-many relation.

In the example:

class Pizza(Model):
    toppings = ManyToManyField(Topping, related_name='pizzas')

Pizza.toppings and Topping.pizzas are ManyToManyDescriptor instances.

Most of the implementation is delegated to a dynamically defined manager class built by create_forward_many_to_many_manager() defined below.

Class methods

classmethod df(include=None, features=False, limit=100)

Convert to pd.DataFrame.

By default, shows all direct fields, except updated_at.

Use arguments include or feature to include other data.

Parameters:

  • include (str | list[str] | None, default: None) – Related fields to include as columns. Takes strings of form "ulabels__name", "cell_types__name", etc. or a list of such strings.

  • features (bool | list[str], default: False) – If True, map all features of the Feature registry onto the resulting DataFrame. Only available for Artifact.

  • limit (int, default: 100) – Maximum number of rows to display from a Pandas DataFrame. Defaults to 100 to reduce database load.

Return type:

DataFrame

Examples

Include the name of the creator in the DataFrame:

>>> ln.ULabel.df(include="created_by__name"])

Include display of features for Artifact:

>>> df = ln.Artifact.df(features=True)
>>> ln.view(df)  # visualize with type annotations

Only include select features:

>>> df = ln.Artifact.df(features=["cell_type_by_expert", "cell_type_by_model"])
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 label").save()
>>> ln.ULabel.filter(name__startswith="my").df()
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:

Record

Returns:

A record.

Raises:

lamindb.core.exceptions.DoesNotExist – In case no matching record is found.

Examples

>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get("FvtpPJLJ")
>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get(name="my-label")
classmethod lookup(field=None, return_field=None)

Return an auto-complete object for a field.

Parameters:

  • field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field to look up the values for. Defaults to first string field.

  • return_field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field to return. If None, returns the whole record.

Return type:

NamedTuple

Returns:

A NamedTuple of lookup information of the field values with a dictionary converter.

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> bt.settings.organism = "human"
>>> bt.Gene.from_source(symbol="ADGB-DT").save()

classmethod search(string, *, field=None, limit=20, case_sensitive=False)

Search.

Parameters:

  • string (str) – The input string to match against the field ontology values.

  • field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field or fields to search. Search all string fields by default.

  • limit (int | None, default: 20) – Maximum amount of top results to return.

  • case_sensitive (bool, default: False) – Whether the match is case sensitive.

Return type:

QuerySet

Returns:

A sorted DataFrame of search results with a score in column score. If return_queryset is True. QuerySet.
