Hi,

I have a model that has many relations and when creating a new object I also have to create its relations objects.

Right now I have a huge controller create action (100 lines) which does this, but I would like to decompose it into smaller parts. I thought about writing methods for the model class, e.g.

class SomeRelatedModel(Base):
    # something

class MainModel(Base):
    # something

    some_related_objects = relationship(SomeRelatedModel)

    def add_some_related_object(self, param1, param2):
        # here I need to check sth in even other model
        Session.query(SomeOtherModel).filter...

        # some more stuff and checks

        object = SomeRelatedModel()
        object.param1 = param1
        object.param2 = param2
        self.some_related_objects.append(object)

Is it considered bad practice to make DB queries in model's methods? Or is this the way to go? How do you decompose such complex actions?

Regards,
