# libtaos - yet another TDengine connector for Rust
|  |  | [](https://codecov.io/gh/taosdata/libtaos-rs) |
Thanks [@songtianyi](https://github.com/songtianyi) for [libtdengine](https://github.com/songtianyi/tdengine-rust-bindings) - a rust bindings project for [TDengine].
It's an new design for [TDengine] rust client based on C interface or the REST API. It'll will provide Rust-like APIs and all rust things (like async/stream/iterators and others).
## Dependencies
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started) of course.
if you use the default features, it'll depend on:
- [TDengine] Client library and headers.
- clang because bindgen will requires the clang AST library.
## Features
In-design features:
- [x] API for both C interface
- [x] REST API support by feature `rest`.
- [x] [r2d2] Pool support by feature `r2d2`
- [x] [Schemaless insert](https://www.taosdata.com/docs/cn/v2.0/insert#schemaless) support
- [ ] Iterators for fields fetching
- [ ] Stream support
- [ ] Subscribe support
## Build and test
```sh
cargo build
cargo test
```
`test` will use default TDengine user and password on localhost (TDengine default).
Set variables if it's not default:
- `TEST_TAOS_IP`
- `TEST_TAOS_PORT`
- `TEST_TAOS_USER`
- `TEST_TAOS_PASS`
- `TEST_TAOS_DB`
## Usage
For default C-based client API, set in Cargo.toml
```toml
[dependencies]
libtaos = "*"
```
For r2d2 support:
```toml
[dependencies]
libtaos = { version = "*", features = ["r2d2"] }
```
For REST client:
```toml
[dependencies]
libtaos = { version = "*", features = ["rest"] }
```
There's a [demo app](examples/demo.rs) in examples directory, looks like this:
```rust
// ...
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
init();
let taos = taos_connect()?;
assert_eq!(
taos.query("drop database if exists demo").await.is_ok(),
true
);
assert_eq!(taos.query("create database demo").await.is_ok(), true);
assert_eq!(taos.query("use demo").await.is_ok(), true);
assert_eq!(
taos.query("create table m1 (ts timestamp, speed int)")
.await
.is_ok(),
true
);
for i in 0..10i32 {
assert_eq!(
taos.query(format!("insert into m1 values (now+{}s, {})", i, i).as_str())
.await
.is_ok(),
true
);
}
let rows = taos.query("select * from m1").await?;
println!("{}", rows.column_meta.into_iter().map(|col| col.name).join(","));
for row in rows.rows {
println!("{}", row.into_iter().join(","));
}
Ok(())
}
```
