SQLModel Compatibility

[pavja2]

SQLModel (https://github.com/tiangolo/sqlmodel) is notionally built as a layer on top of SQLAlchemy, so it would be awesome to use SQLAlchemy Continuum to version SQLModel managed databases. However, the basic getting started example throws an error when replacing the SQLAlchemy model with a SQLModel version. I'm not entirely clear on how SQLModel inherits from SQLAlchemy and to what degree compatibility is possible, but if there's some trivial fix to bubble up the missing attributes it would be fantastic.

Tutorial Example, but using SQL Model

from typing import Optional
from sqlalchemy_continuum import make_versioned
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import create_session, configure_mappers
from sqlmodel import SQLModel, Field

make_versioned(user_cls=None)

Base = declarative_base()
class Article(SQLModel, table=True):
    __versioned__ = {}
    __tablename__ = 'article'
    id: Optional[int] = Field(primary_key=True)
    name: Optional[str] = Field(default=None)
    content: Optional[str] = Field(default=None)

configure_mappers()
engine = create_engine('sqlite://')
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
session = create_session(bind=engine, autocommit=False)

article = Article(name=u'Some article', content=u'Some content')
session.add(article)
session.commit()
print(article.versions[0].name)
article.name = u'Updated name'
session.commit()
print(article.versions[1].name)
article.versions[0].revert()
print(article.name)

Any updates on this? :)

[marksteward]

Update? I think it's a feature request.

Yep, the it sounds like a feature request yet totally out of sqlalchemy-continuum's scope.
