Frappe Utils

frappe_utils is a foundational library by Castlecraft designed to bring enterprise-grade structure and governance to your Frappe Framework applications. It addresses common challenges faced by large development teams—such as code inconsistency, data integrity issues, and complex permission requirements—by providing a suite of powerful, reusable components that enforce best practices.

Key Features​

  • Ironclad Data Validation: Enforce strict validation rules on incoming request data (DTOs), preventing erroneous data entries and protecting your application from potential vulnerabilities.
  • Advanced Permission Management: Go beyond standard role permissions. Our permission parser allows you to define intricate, granular access levels for different user roles and data entities, adding a necessary layer of security for complex applications.
  • Customizable Authentication Hooks: Seamlessly integrate external authentication providers or craft bespoke login mechanisms to meet your organization's specific security requirements.
  • Enhanced Data Integrity with Composite Keys: Ensure unique data identification by defining keys that consist of multiple fields, eliminating duplicate entries and improving data accuracy in critical doctypes.
  • High-Performance Child Table Pagination: For doctypes with extensive child tables (a common performance bottleneck), our paginated child table feature provides a high-performance, user-friendly way to navigate large datasets without overwhelming the system.
  • Streamlined Single-App Migrations: Simplify the process of migrating a specific app within your Frappe instance, ensuring a smooth transition without impacting other applications.

By integrating frappe_utils into your development process, you establish a robust foundation that promotes code quality, enhances security, and ensures consistency across your entire team. It's how we put Frappe on steroids for the enterprise.
