codex

Codex is NOT an ORM, but a relation algebra inspired by Arel for generating SQL. Project is still early in development but stable.

Build Status

Installation

With Google's Go installed on your machine:

$ go get -u github.com/chuckpreslar/codex

Usage

To show a little sample of what using Codex looks like, lets assume you have a table in your database (we'll call it users) and you want to select all the records it contains. The SQL looks a little like this:

SELECT "users".* FROM "users"

Now using Codex:

import (
  /* Maybe some other imports. */
  "github.com/chuckpreslar/codex"
)


users := codex.Table("users")
sql, err := users.ToSql()

Now that wasn't too bad, was it?

Selections

Projections

// ...

users := codex.Table("users")
sql, err := users.Project("id", "email", "first_name", "last_name").ToSql()

Filtering

// ...

users := codex.Table("users")
sql, err := users.Where(users("id").Eq(1).Or(users("email").Eq("test@example.com"))).ToSql()

Joins

// ...

users := codex.Table("users")
orders := codex.Table("orders")
sql, err := users.InnerJoin(orders).On(orders("user_id").Eq(users("id"))).ToSql()

// SELECT "users".* FROM "users" INNER JOIN "orders" ON "orders"."user_id" = "users"."id"

Insertions

// ...

sql, err := users.Insert("Jon", "Doe", "jon@example.com").
    Into("first_name", "last_name", "email").ToSql()

// INSERT INTO "users" ("first_name", "last_name", "email") VALUES ('Jon', 'Doe', 'jon@example.com')

Modifications

// ...

sql, err := users.Set("first_name", "last_name", "email").
    To("Jon", "Doe", "jon@example.com").
    Where(users("id").Eq(1)).ToSql()

// UPDATE "users" SET "first_name" = 'Jon', "last_name" = 'Doe', "email" = 'jon@example.com'
// WHERE "users"."id" = 1

Deletions

// ...

sql, err := users.Delete(users("id").Eq(1)).ToSql()

// DELETE FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = 1

Creations

The codex package currently provides a few common SQL data and constraint types as constants to use with creating and altering tables. These constants can be found within codex's sql package.

// ...

users := codex.CreateTable("users").
  AddColumn("first_name", codex.String).
  AddColumn("last_name", codex.String).
  AddColumn("email", codex.String).
  AddColumn("id", codex.Integer).
  AddConstraint("first_name", codex.NotNull).
  AddConstraint("id", codex.PrimaryKey).
  AddConstraint("email", codex.Unique, "users_uniq_email") // Optional last argument supplies index name.

sql, err := users.ToSql()

// CREATE TABLE "users" (
//  "first_name" varchar(255),
//  "last_name" varchar(255),
//  "email" varchar(255),
//  "id" integer
// );
// ALTER TABLE "users" ALTER "first_name" SET NOT NULL;
// ALTER TABLE "users" ADD PRIMARY KEY("id");
// ALTER TABLE "users" ADD CONSTRAINT "users_email_uniq" UNIQUE("email");

Note: The AddConstraint receiver method when passed a constraint of codex.ForeignKey, treats its options argument as a SQL REFERENCE followed by the optional name of the index.

Alterations

Alterations work the same as Creations, only the the initializer function AlterTable is used in place of CreateTable.
