Pass through of SQLAlchemy relationship list

[miohtama]

Is it possible to pass through SQLAlchemy objects without dictifying them from relationship where uselist=True ? I need this for complexish relationship widgets which needs to get the hold of the actual SQLAlchemy objects instead of converting them to dictionary and back.

I am not sure

• If it is possible
• How it is possible (as this is not clearly explained in documentation)

I kind of figured out a super hacky way to do this, but I hope if there is a real way to do before unleashing the ugliness to public world.

I haven't done much with relationships, but you could take a look at https://github.com/stefanofontanelli/DeformAlchemy/blob/master/deformalchemy/widget.py for an example of a widget making direct use of the sqla object. Basically the widget gets passed the object when it's created and then a later call to populate() makes sqla queries to fill the values in on the widget.

Perfect! With a quick look it looks like much cleaner what I was doing.

I'll check deformalchemy and close this issue if it is what I was looking for.
