Concept

• Declare a bit more of code to handle all your models the same way
• Use filters to select data
• With good coding practices, it becomes easy to use and easy to read

Must-do

• Models should compose yaorm.DatabaseModel in order to correctly implement the yaorm.Model interface
• Filters should compose yaorm.ModelFilter in order to correctly implement the yaorm.Filter interface

Models by examples

Declaration

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

Loading a model

Using a generic function

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

func GetCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, id int64) (*Category, error) {
    category, err := yaorm.GenericSelectOne(dbp, &filter.CategoryFilter{FilterID: yaormfilter.Equals(id)})
    return category.(*Category), err
}

// GetCategoryLight only loads "id" and "name" columns (other fields
// won't be initialized in returned *Category).
func GetCategoryLight(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, id int64) (*Category, error) {
    f := filter.CategoryFilter{FilterID: yaormfilter.Equals(id)}
    f.LoadColumns("id", "name")
    category, err := yaorm.GenericSelectOne(dbp, &f)
    return category.(*Category), err
}

// GetCategoryNoDates does not load "created_at" and "updated_at"
// columns (these fields won't be initialized in returned *Category).
func GetCategoryNoDates(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, id int64) (*Category, error) {
    f := filter.CategoryFilter{FilterID: yaormfilter.Equals(id)}
    f.DontLoadColumns("created_at", "updated_at")
    category, err := yaorm.GenericSelectOne(dbp, &f)
    return category.(*Category), err
}

Using the model's load function

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

// Load loads into the model filtering by the already defined values
// it is necessary to override this function if you want to be able to automatically Load models
func (c *Category) Load(dbp yaorm.DBProvider) error {
    return yaorm.GenericSelectOneFromModel(dbp, c)
}

func GetCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, id int64) (*Category, error) {
    category := &Category{ID: id}
    return category, category.Load(dbp)
}

Saving a model

NB: saving includes both inserting and updating

Using a generic function

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

func CreateCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, name string) (*Category, error) {
    category := &testdata.Category{Name: name}
    return category, yaorm.GenericSave(category)
}

Using the model's save function

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

// Save saves the current category inside the database
// it is necessary to declare this method if you want to really save the model
func (c *Category) Save() error {
    return yaorm.GenericSave(c)
}

func CreateCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, name string) (*Category, error) {
    category := &testdata.Category{Name: name}
    category.Save(dbp)
    return category, category.Save()
}

Joining

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "post", &Post{}).WithFilter(&PostFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

type Post struct {
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID         int64     `db:"id"`
    Subject    string    `db:"subject"`
    CategoryID int64     `db:"category_id"`
    Category   *Category `db:"-" filterload:"category,category_id"`
}

type PostFilter struct {
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterCategory yaormfilter.Filter      `filter:"category,join,id,category_id" filterload:"category"`
}

func GetPostsFromCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, category *Category) {
    posts, err := yaorm.GenericSelectAll(dbp, &PostFilter{FilterCategory: &CategoryFilter{ID: yaormfilter.Equals(category.ID)}})
}

The theory

Here's a list of what you can do with this library

Filtering on any model

You can filter on any model you declare by also coding a Filter object

• Define the tag filter on your filter struct, should be the same value than the db field you want to filter on
• Declare your filter when you declare your sql table using the WithFilter helper.

No need to write SQL queries anymore.

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
}

Automatic loading

You can automatically load your nested objects with a bit of code.

• Define the tag filterload on your model inside the linked struct
• Define the tag filterload on your filter inside the linked struct (should be the same tag value), and specify the corresponding key to match with (here it's Post.category_id)
• Define the subquery loading function with WithSubqueryloading helper while you declare the sql table

package main

import (
    "time"

    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm/yaormfilter"
)

func init() {
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "category", &Category{}).WithFilter(&CategoryFilter{}).WithSubqueryloading(
        func(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, ids []interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
            return yaorm.GenericSelectAll(dbp, NewCategoryFilter().ID(yaormfilter.In(ids...)))
        },
        "id",
    )
    yaorm.NewTable("test", "post", &Post{}).WithFilter(&PostFilter{})
}

type Category struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID        int64     `db:"id"`
    Name      string    `db:"name"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at"`
}

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID     yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
    FilterName   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"name"`
}

func NewCategoryFilter() *CategoryFilter {
    return &CategoryFilter{}
}

func (cf *CategoryFilter) ID (v yaormfilter.ValueFilter) *CategoryFilter {
    cf.FilterID = v
    return cf
}

func (cf *CategoryFilter) Name (v yaormfilter.ValueFilter) *CategoryFilter {
    cf.FilterName = v
    return cf
}


func (cf *CategoryFilter) Subqueryload() yaormfilter.Filter {
    cf.AllowSubqueryload()
    return cf
}

type Post struct {
    yaorm.DatabaseModel
    ID         int64     `db:"id"`
    Subject    string    `db:"subject"`
    CategoryID int64     `db:"category_id"`
    Category   *Category `db:"-" filterload:"category,category_id"`
}

type PostFilter struct {
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterCategory yaormfilter.Filter      `filter:"category,join,id,category_id" filterload:"category"`
}

func NewPostFilter() *PostFilter {
    return &PostFilter{}
}

func (pf *PostFilter) Category (category yaormfilter.Filter) *PostFilter {
    pf.FilterCategory = category
    return pf
}


func GetPostsFromCategory(dbp yaorm.DBProvider, category *Category) {
    posts, err := yaorm.GenericSelectAll(dbp, NewPostFilter().Category(
        NewCategoryFilter().Name(category.Name).Subqueryload(),
    )
    // and then posts[0].Category won't be nil
}

Hooks

SQL Executor

It is possible to define custom hooks while executing SQL requests. Possible hooks are currently:

• Before/After SelectOne
• Before/After Select (multiple)

Your executor should implement yaorm.ExecutorHook interface, and can compose yaorm.DefaultExecutorHook to avoid any issues with updates (like a missing method to implement). The executor hook can be declared while registering the database

package main

import (
    "log"
    "github.com/geoffreybauduin/yaorm"
)

type LoggingExecutor struct {
    *yaorm.DefaultExecutorHook
}

func (h LoggingExecutor) AfterSelectOne(query string, args ...interface{})  {
    log.Printf("SQL Query: %s %+v\n", query, args)
}

func main() {
    defer func() {
        os.Remove("/tmp/test_test.sqlite")
        yaorm.UnregisterDB("test")
    }()
    yaorm.RegisterDB(&yaorm.DatabaseConfiguration{
        Name:             "test",
        DSN:              "/tmp/test_test.sqlite",
        System:           yaorm.DatabaseSqlite3,
        AutoCreateTables: true,
        ExecutorHook:     &LoggingExecutor{},
    })
    // now it will use the executor
}

Good practices

Filters

• Define filters to be able to chain functions, it is a lot more readable !

type CategoryFilter struct {
    // Always compose this struct
    yaormfilter.ModelFilter
    FilterID     yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"id"`
    FilterName   yaormfilter.ValueFilter `filter:"name"`
}

func NewCategoryFilter() *CategoryFilter {
    return &CategoryFilter{}
}

func (cf *CategoryFilter) ID (v yaormfilter.ValueFilter) *CategoryFilter {
    cf.FilterID = v
    return cf
}

func (cf *CategoryFilter) Name (v yaormfilter.ValueFilter) *CategoryFilter {
    cf.FilterName = v
    return cf
}

func main() {
    f := NewCategoryFilter().ID(yaormfilter.Equals(1))
}
