pyMDG supports 4 relation types:

  • Association: Forms relations between classes:

    • One to One
    • One to Many
    • Many to One
    • Many to Many

  • Generalization: Defines a parent/child inheritance. Multi-inheritance in not yet supported.

  • Composition: Similar to association but can be used to control generated features. For example, when generating an OpenAPI schema, objects which are part of a composition may not get thier own endpoint.

  • Aggregation: Like composition aggregations affect the features of our output. For example, an OpenAPI generation can use aggregations to specifiy when the endpoint is a sub-endpoint I.e. /customer/12/customer_address/1/
