# ProjectCompact

Lightweight project representation for listing and basic operations.

A minimal project object containing only essential identifiers. Used by various listing operations to efficiently return project information without fetching full project details and associated resources.

This class provides a memory-efficient way to work with project references when you don't need the full project functionality but want to access basic information or fetch the complete project when needed.

## Example

```python
# From project references in other entities
model = Model.get(id_="model-uuid")
project_compact = model.project  # Returns ProjectCompact

# Access basic info
print(f"Project: {project_compact.name}")
print(f"ID: {project_compact.id}")

# Fetch full details when needed
full_project = project_compact.fetch()
print(f"Created: {full_project.created_at}")
print(f"Models: {len(list(full_project.models))}")
```

{% hint style="info" %}
ProjectCompact objects are typically returned by other entities that reference projects. Use .fetch() to get the complete Project instance when you need full functionality like listing models or project operations.
{% endhint %}

## fetch()

Fetch project instance.

## Returns

Complete project instance with all details.

**Return type:** [`Project`](https://docs.fiddler.ai/api/fiddler-python-client-sdk/entities/project)
