SQL

SQL provides

• Base conformance for SQL database adapters
• Typesafe table representations and queries (select, insert, join, etc.)
• A powerful, non-intrusive ORM

Installation

The SQL module is bundled with the SQL adapters of Zewo

• Postgres
• MySQL

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/Zewo/SQL.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 14),
    ]
)

Usage

Use this package with one of the supported drivers listed above.

Connecting to a database

let info = Connection.ConnectionInfo(uri: URL("postgres://localhost:5432/database_name")!)!
let connection = PostgreSQL.Connection(info: info)
try connection.open()

Executing raw queries

try connection.execute("SELECT * FROM artists")
let result = try connection.execute("SELECT * FROM artists WHERE name = %@", parameters: "Josh Rouse")

Getting results from queries

let result = try connection.execute("SELECT * FROM artists")

for row in result {
	let name: String = try row.value("name")
	let genre: String? = try row.value("genre")
	print(name)
}

In the above example, an error will be thrown if name and genre is not present in the rows returned. An error will also be thrown if a name is NULL in any row, as the inferred type is non-optional. Note how genre will allow for a NULL value.

Tables

You can define tables as such:

struct Artist : TableProtocol {
    enum Field : String, TableField {
        static let tableName = "artists"

        case id
        case name
        case genre
    }
}

Artist.select(where: Artist.Field.name == "Josh Rouse")
Artist.insert([.name : "AC/DC"])
Artist.update([.name : "AC/DC"]).filtered(Artist.Field.genre == "Rock")
Artist.delete(where: Artist.Field.genre == "Rock")

try connection.execute(Artist.select(where: Artist.Field.name == "Josh Rouse"))

Models

Models provide more ORM-like functionality than tables. You can define models like so:

struct Artist {
    var name: String
    var genre: String
}

extension Artist : ModelProtocol {
    // Just like `Table`
    enum Field: String, ModelField {
        // notice how we define the "id" field
        // but don't have it as a property
        case id
        case name
        case genre

        // Specify a table name
        static let tableName = "artists"

        // Specify which field is primary
        static let primaryKey = Field.id
    }

    // Specify what type the primary key is (usually int or string)
    typealias PrimaryKey = Int

    // The values returned here will be persisted
    // primary key is inserted automatically
    func serialize() -> [Field : ValueConvertible?] {
        return [
            .name: name,
            .genre: genre
        ]
    }

    // Provide an initializer for the model taking a row
    // a little generic but dont let it scare you
    init<Row: RowProtocol>(row: TableRow<Artist, Row>) throws {
        try self.init(
            name: row.value(.name),
            genre: row.value(.genre)
        )
    }
}

// note how we operate on Entity<Artist> rather than just Artist.
// there also exists a type PersistedEntity<Artist>, which has a primary key
// and methods such as refresh and update
let rockArtists = try Entity<Artist>.fetch(where: Artist.Field.genre == "Rock", connection: connection)

for var artist in rockArtists {
    artist.model.genre = "Rock 'n Roll"
    // since artist is of type PersistedEntity<Artist> (has a primary key),
    // we can save it, replacing the previous record
    artist.save(connection: connection)
}

let newArtist = Artist(name: "Elijah Blake", genre: "Hip-hop")
let persistedArtist = try Entity(model: newArtist).create(connection: connection)
print("id of new artist: \(persistedArtist.primaryKey)")
