Ontic
======

Welcome to **Ontic**, a package designed with making it easy to handle data 
objects. **Ontic** provides a pure data object representations that support 
*object-style* and *dict-style* attribute access. In addition, **Ontic** 
supports schema definition to aid in the validation and management of **Ontic**
object instances.

By way of a quick preview:

```
  from ontic.ontic_type import OnticType, create_ontic_type, validate_object
  from ontic.schema_type import SchemaType
  # Define the schema
  schema = SchemaType(
  prop1={'type':'str','required':True},
  prop2={'type':'int','min':1}) 
  # Define an ontic type
  AType = create_ontic_type('AType', schema)
  # Use AType to create a data instance
  obj = AType()
  # Show off object and dict style property access
  obj.prop1 = 'Some Value'
  obj['prop2'] = 3
  # And the validation
  validate_object(obj)
```

Project Development
====================

If you are interested in developing **Ontic** code, 
utilize the helper scripts in the *ontic/bin* directory.

Setup the Development Environment
----------------------------------

Prior to running the dev setup scripts, ensure that you have *virtualenv* 
installed. All setup commands are assumed to be run from the project root, 
which is the directory containing the *setup.py* file.

Prep the development environment with the command:

  > bin/dev_setup.sh

This command will setup the virtualenv for the project in the 
directory */venv*. It will also install the **Ontic** in a develop mode, 
with the creation of a development egg file.

Enable the Development Environment
-----------------------------------

To make it easy to ensure a correctly configured development session, 
utilize the command:

  > . bin/enable_dev.sh
  
or

  > source bin/enable_dev.sh
  
Note that the script must be sourced, as it will enable a virtualenv session 
and add the *bin* directory scripts to environment *PATH*.
