Introducing 'defaultprop'

What is 'defaultprop'?

'defaultprop' is a Python library that allows you to easily set default values for object properties. It provides a decorator that you can apply to a class property, and this decorator sets the default value for the property.

Why use 'defaultprop'?

There are many situations where you may want to set default values for object properties. For example, you may want to set a default value for a configuration option, or for an optional parameter in a function. 'defaultprop' provides a simple and clean way to do this.

How to use 'defaultprop'

To use 'defaultprop', you first need to install the library using pip:

pip install defaultprop

Once you have installed the library, you can start using the 'defaultprop' decorator to set default values for object properties. Here is an example:

from defaultprop import defaultprop

class Person:
    @defaultprop
    def name(self):
        return 'John Doe'

person = Person()
print(person.name)  # Output: John Doe

In this example, we have defined a Person class with a name property decorated with defaultprop. When we create an instance of the Person class and access the name property, the default value of 'John Doe' is returned.

You can also specify a different default value by passing it as an argument to the @defaultprop decorator:

class Person:
    @defaultprop('Jane Doe')
    def name(self):
        pass

person = Person()
print(person.name)  # Output: Jane Doe

In this example, we have specified a default value of 'Jane Doe' for the name property.

Conclusion

'defaultprop' is a useful library for Python programmers who want to set default values for object properties. It provides a clean and simple way to do this using a decorator. With 'defaultprop', you can save time and effort by setting default values for your properties in a single line of code.
