Gorma is a storage generator for goa.

• Purpose
• Opinionated
• Use

Gorma uses a custom goa DSL to generate a working storage system for your API.

Gorma generates Go code that uses gorm to access your database, therefore it is quite opinionated about how the data access layer is generated.

By default, a primary key field is created as type int with name ID. Also Gorm's magic date stamp fields created_at, updated_at and deleted_at are created. Override this behavior with the Automatic* DSL functions on the Store.

Write a storage definition using DSL from the dsl package. Example:

	var sg = StorageGroup("MyStorageGroup", func() {
		Description("This is the global storage group")
		Store("mysql", gorma.MySQL, func() {
			Description("This is the mysql relational store")
			Model("Bottle", func() {
				BuiltFrom(BottlePayload)
				RenderTo(Bottle)
				Description("This is the bottle model")
				Field("Vintage", gorma.Integer, func() {
					SQLTag("index")
				})
			})
		})
	})

See the dsl GoDoc for all the details and options.

From the root of your application, issue the goagen command as follows:

	goagen --design=github.com/gopheracademy/congo/design gen --pkg-path=github.com/goadesign/gorma

Be sure to replace github.com/gopheracademy/congo/design with the design package of your goa application.
