## Supported Databases
| SQLite | ✅ | Currently supported. |
| PostgreSQL | ❌ | Not supported, help us implement it? |
| MySQL | ❌ | Not supported, help us implement it? |
| MariaDB | ❌ | Not supported, help us implement it? |
| Oracle | ❌ | Not supported, help us implement it? |
| MSSQL | ❌ | Not supported, help us implement it? |
## Getting Started
### Initializing a new project
The first thing we need to do is generate our project.
```sh
cargo new --bin njord_demo
```
Now, let’s add Njord to our dependencies. We’re also going to use a tool called .env to manage our environment variables for us. We’ll add it to our dependencies as well.
```toml
[dependencies]
# The core APIs, including the Table trait.
# using #[derive(Table)] to make njord work with structs
# and enums defined in your crate.
njord = { version = "<version>", features = ["sqlite"] }
dotenvy = "0.15"
```
### Add a schema file
Now we are going to define our schema file that we will create under `src/schema.rs`. We will store basically our structs that will map against the database.
```rust
#[derive(Table)]
#[table_name = "users"]
pub struct User {
id: usize,
username: String,
email: String,
address: String,
}
#[derive(Table)]
#[table_name = "categories"]
pub struct Category {
id: usize,
name: String,
}
#[derive(Table)]
#[table_name = "products"]
pub struct Product {
id: usize,
name: String,
description: String,
price: f64,
stock_quantity: usize,
category: Category, // one-to-one relationship
discount: Option<f64>,
}
#[derive(Table)]
#[table_name = "orders"]
pub struct Order {
id: usize,
user: User, // one-to-one relationship
products: Vec<Product>, // one-to-many relationship - populates from based on junction table (gets from macro attribute "table_name" and combines them for example, orders_products)
total_cost: f64,
}
```
Now that we have that in place, we need to create the SQL for setting this up in the database and execute it.
```sql
-- users table
CREATE TABLE users (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
username TEXT NOT NULL,
email TEXT NOT NULL,
address TEXT NOT NULL
);
-- products table
CREATE TABLE products (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
description TEXT NOT NULL,
price REAL NOT NULL,
stock_quantity INTEGER NOT NULL,
category INTEGER REFERENCES categories(id)
);
-- orders table
CREATE TABLE orders (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
user_id INTEGER REFERENCES users(id),
total_cost REAL NOT NULL
);
-- order_products table
CREATE TABLE order_products (
order_id INTEGER REFERENCES orders(id),
product_id INTEGER REFERENCES products(id),
PRIMARY KEY (order_id, product_id)
);
```
## Usage
So how can we establish a connection and actually select or insert data to our database? Let's go through it. Note that these examples might be outdated, so dont treat it as a source of truth.
### SQlite
#### Establish a connection
To establish a connection we first need to call the `sqlite::open()` function and use it with a match statement.
```rust
fn main () {
let db_name = "njord.db";
let db_path = Path::new(&db_name);
match sqlite::open(db_path) {
Ok(conn) => {
println!("Database opened successfully!");
// additional logic when we are connected...
}
Err(err) => eprintln!("Error opening the database: {}", err),
}
}
```
#### Insert data
```rust
fn main () {
let db_name = "njord.db";
let db_path = Path::new(&db_name);
let user = User {
username: String::from("john_doe"),
email: String::from("john@example.com"),
address: String::from("123 Main St"),
};
match sqlite::open(db_path) {
Ok(conn) => {
println!("Database opened successfully!");
let result = sqlite::insert(conn, &user);
assert!(result.is_ok());
}
Err(err) => eprintln!("Error opening the database: {}", err),
}
}
```
#### Select data
```rust
use njord::table::Table;
use njord_derive::Table;
mod schema;
use schema::User;
fn main () {
let db_name = "njord.db";
let db_path = Path::new(&db_name);
// SELECT
let columns = vec!["id".to_string(), "username".to_string(), "email".to_string(), "address".to_string()];
// WHERE
let where_condition = Condition::Eq("username".to_string(), "john_doe".to_string());
// GROUP BY
let group_by = vec!["username".to_string(), "address".to_string()];
// ORDER BY
let mut order_by = HashMap::new();
order_by.insert(vec!["id".to_string()], "ASC".to_string());
order_by.insert(vec!["email".to_string()], "DESC".to_string());
// HAVING
let having_condition = Condition::Gt("id".to_string(), "1".to_string());
match sqlite::open(db_path) {
Ok(conn) => {
println!("Database opened successfully!");
// Build the query
// We need to pass the struct User with the Default trait in .from()
let result: Result<Vec<User>> = sqlite::select(conn, columns)
.from(User::default())
.where_clause(where_condition)
.order_by(order_by)
.group_by(group_by)
.having(having_condition)
.build();
// Match the result
match result {
Ok(result) => {
assert_eq!(result.len(), 1);
}
Err(error) => panic!("Failed to SELECT: {:?}", error),
};
}
Err(err) => eprintln!("Error opening the database: {}", err),
}
}
```
