See our previous post Inventree Python API: Minimal API connect example using YAML config for our method of creating the api
object using a YAML config file!
The following code finds a part category called ICs
and creates a new part in that category.
First, we need to fetch the part categories, this is from our previous post Inventree Python API: Minimal API connect example using YAML config:
from inventree.part import PartCategory all_categories = PartCategory.list(api) # Dict of part categories by name # (e.g. 'OpAmps') part_categories_by_name = { category["name"]: category for category in all_categories } # Dict of part categories by public key (e.g. 7) part_categories_by_pk = { category.pk: category for category in all_categories } # Dict of part categories by hierarchical path # (e.g. 'Electronics-Components/ICs/OpAmps') part_categories_by_pathstring = { category.pathstring: category for category in all_categories }
Now let’s select the correct category:
ics = part_categories_by_name['ICs']
Now it’s finally time to create the part:
from inventree.part import Part new_part = Part.create(api, { 'name': 'L78L33ABD', 'description': '100mA 3.3V fixed LDO regulator, SOIC-8', 'category': ics.pk })
You can read the primary key (pk
) for the newly generated part using
new_part.pk
