Creating
========
.. _CSRF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery
.. _Requests: https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/
The create action executes the HTTP method POST which is usually protected by
CSRF_ and therefore you must make some effort to initialize your HTTP Session
to send POST requests acceptable by the remote server.
Let's assume you use the python library Requests_
.. code-block:: python
import pyodata
import requests
SERVICE_URL = 'http://example.io/TheServiceRoot/'
session = requests.Session()
response = session.head(SERVICE_URL, headers={'x-csrf-token': 'fetch'})
token = response.headers.get('x-csrf-token', '')
session.headers.update({'x-csrf-token': token})
theservice = pyodata.Client(SERVICE_URL, session)
Create an entity with a complex type property
---------------------------------------------
You need to use the method set which accepts key value parameters:
.. code-block:: python
employee_data = {
'FirstName': 'Mark',
'LastName': 'Goody',
'Address': {
'HouseNumber': 42,
'Street': 'Paradise',
'City': 'Heaven'
}
}
create_request = northwind.entity_sets.Employees.create_entity()
create_request.set(**employee_data)
new_employee_entity = create_request.execute()
or you can do it explicitly:
.. code-block:: python
create_request = northwind.entity_sets.Employees.create_entity()
create_request.set(
FirstName='Mark',
LastName='Goody',
Address={
'HouseNumber': 42,
'Street': 'Paradise',
'City': 'Heaven'
}
)
new_employee_entity = request.execute()
