# Models
!!! info "Added in `v2.0`"
Reusable SQLAlchemy 2.0 mixins for common column patterns, designed to be composed freely on any `DeclarativeBase` model.
## Overview
The `models` module provides mixins that each add a single, well-defined column behaviour. They work with standard SQLAlchemy 2.0 declarative syntax and are fully compatible with `AsyncSession`.
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin
class Article(Base, UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin):
__tablename__ = "articles"
title: Mapped[str]
content: Mapped[str]
```
All timestamp columns are timezone-aware (`TIMESTAMPTZ`). All defaults are server-side (`clock_timestamp()`), so they are also applied when inserting rows via raw SQL outside the ORM.
## Mixins
### [`UUIDMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UUIDMixin)
Adds a `id: UUID` primary key generated server-side by PostgreSQL using `gen_random_uuid()`. The value is retrieved via `RETURNING` after insert, so it is available on the Python object immediately after `flush()`.
!!! warning "Requires PostgreSQL 13+"
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin
class User(Base, UUIDMixin):
__tablename__ = "users"
username: Mapped[str]
# id is None before flush
user = User(username="alice")
session.add(user)
await session.flush()
print(user.id) # UUID('...')
```
### [`UUIDv7Mixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UUIDv7Mixin)
!!! info "Added in `v2.3`"
Adds a `id: UUID` primary key generated server-side by PostgreSQL using `uuidv7()`. It's a time-ordered UUID format that encodes a millisecond-precision timestamp in the most significant bits, making it naturally sortable and index-friendly.
!!! warning "Requires PostgreSQL 18+"
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDv7Mixin
class Event(Base, UUIDv7Mixin):
__tablename__ = "events"
name: Mapped[str]
# id is None before flush
event = Event(name="user.signup")
session.add(event)
await session.flush()
print(event.id) # UUID('019...')
```
### [`CreatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.CreatedAtMixin)
Adds a `created_at: datetime` column set to `clock_timestamp()` on insert. The column has no `onupdate` hook — it is intentionally immutable after the row is created.
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, CreatedAtMixin
class Order(Base, UUIDMixin, CreatedAtMixin):
__tablename__ = "orders"
total: Mapped[float]
```
### [`UpdatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UpdatedAtMixin)
Adds an `updated_at: datetime` column set to `clock_timestamp()` on insert and automatically updated to `clock_timestamp()` on every ORM-level update (via SQLAlchemy's `onupdate` hook).
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, UpdatedAtMixin
class Post(Base, UUIDMixin, UpdatedAtMixin):
__tablename__ = "posts"
title: Mapped[str]
post = Post(title="Hello")
await session.flush()
await session.refresh(post)
post.title = "Hello World"
await session.flush()
await session.refresh(post)
print(post.updated_at)
```
!!! note
`updated_at` is updated by SQLAlchemy at ORM flush time. If you update rows via raw SQL (e.g. `UPDATE posts SET ...`), the column will **not** be updated automatically — use a database trigger if you need that guarantee.
### [`TimestampMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.TimestampMixin)
Convenience mixin that combines [`CreatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.CreatedAtMixin) and [`UpdatedAtMixin`](../reference/models.md#fastapi_toolsets.models.UpdatedAtMixin). Equivalent to inheriting both.
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin
class Article(Base, UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin):
__tablename__ = "articles"
title: Mapped[str]
```
## Composing mixins
All mixins can be combined in any order. The only constraint is that exactly one primary key must be defined — either via `UUIDMixin` or directly on the model.
```python
from fastapi_toolsets.models import UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin
class Event(Base, UUIDMixin, TimestampMixin):
__tablename__ = "events"
name: Mapped[str]
class Counter(Base, UpdatedAtMixin):
__tablename__ = "counters"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
value: Mapped[int]
```
