A golang lib to integrate all the clouds.

This is v.01 -- it has no tests, performance is probably awful and it's not proven safe in production anywhere. But maybe it'll scratch an itch?

Pacific is an opinionated query wrapper that makes Google's Go Datastore interchangeable with Postgres (and 📆 others!).

go get -u github.com/likestripes/pacific

import (
	"github.com/likestripes/pacific"
)

Google AppEngine: goapp serve works out of the box (they include the buildtag for you)

Postgres: go run -tags 'postgres' main.go -- details below.

pacific_pg_user=foo pacific_pg_dbname=bar go run -tags 'postgres' main.go

• pacific_pg_user

• pacific_pg_password

• pacific_pg_dbname

• pacific_pg_host - defaults to localhost

• pacific_pg_port - defaults to 5432

• pacific_pg_sslmode - defaults to disabled

• pacific_log - log verbosely

• pacific_migrate - automagically migrate models

Queries are a struct:

type Query struct {
	Kind       string
	Context    Context
	Offset     int
	Limit      int
	KeyString  string
	KeyInt     int64
	Ancestors  []Ancestor
	Order      string
	Filters    map[string]string
	PrimaryKey string
}

that can be used minimally to get a thing:

context := pacific.NewContext(r) //r = *http.Request

query := pacific.Query{
  Context:   context,
  Kind:      "Thing",
  KeyString: thing_id, //if you prefer Int, you'd use KeyInt instead
}

var thing Thing
err := query.Get(&thing)

return thing

or with friends:

context := pacific.NewContext(r) //r = *http.Request

query := pacific.Query{
  Context: context,
  Kind:    "Friend",
  Limit:   10,
}

var ten_friends []Friend
err := query.GetAll(&ten_friends)

if err != nil {
  context.Errorf(err.Error())
}

return ten_friends

query.Put(entry interface{}) error
query.Get(result interface{}) error
query.GetAll(results interface{}) error
query.Delete(result interface{}) error

Ancestors allow you to nest your models (in AppEngine) or join your tables (in Postgres)

type Ancestor struct {
	Context    Context
	Kind       string
	KeyString  string
	KeyInt     int64
	Parent     *datastore.Key
	PrimaryKey string
}

Pass an order-sensitive array of Ancestors in a Query and it will recurse from first to last. In AppEngine, this is simply chaining your keys; in Postgres, it's more like a join.
