dbnexus 0.1.3

🎯 A high-performance, secure, and feature-rich database access layer built on Sea-ORM

DBNexus provides a declarative database access approach:

use dbnexus::{DbPool, DbEntity, db_crud, db_permission};
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(DbEntity, DeriveEntityModel, DeriveModel, DeriveActiveModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "users")]
#[db_crud]
#[db_permission(roles = ["admin", "manager"], operations = ["SELECT", "INSERT"])]
pub struct User {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i64,
    pub name: String,
    pub email: String,
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let pool = DbPool::new("sqlite::memory:").await?;
    let session = pool.get_session("admin").await?;
    let user = User { id: 1, name: "Alice".to_string(), email: "alice@example.com".to_string() };
    User::insert(&session, user).await?;
    Ok(())
}

📦 Feature Presets

🚀 Quick Start

📦 Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dbnexus = "0.1.2"
tokio = { version = "1.42", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }
sea-orm = { version = "2.0.0-rc.27", features = ["macros"] }

💡 Basic Usage

🎬 5-Minute Quick Start

Step 1: Define Entity

use dbnexus::{DbPool, DbEntity, db_crud};
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(DbEntity, DeriveEntityModel, DeriveModel, DeriveActiveModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "users")]
#[db_crud]
pub struct User {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i64,
    pub name: String,
    pub email: String,
}

Step 2: Create Connection Pool

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let pool = DbPool::new("sqlite::memory:").await?;
    let session = pool.get_session("admin").await?;
    Ok(())
}

Step 3: Insert Data

let user = User {
    id: 1,
    name: "Alice".to_string(),
    email: "alice@example.com".to_string(),
};
User::insert(&session, user).await?;

Step 4: Query Data

let users = User::find_all(&session).await?;
println!("Found {} users", users.len());

🔒 Permission Control

use dbnexus::{DbPool, DbEntity, db_crud, db_permission};
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(DbEntity, DeriveEntityModel, DeriveModel, DeriveActiveModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "users")]
#[db_crud]
#[db_permission(roles = ["admin", "manager"], operations = ["SELECT", "INSERT"])]
pub struct User {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i64,
    pub name: String,
}

// Admin can access
let session = pool.get_session("admin").await?;
User::find_all(&session).await?;

// Regular user will be denied
let session = pool.get_session("guest").await?;
User::find_all(&session).await?; // Error: Permission denied

💻 Examples

💡 Real-world Examples

📝 Advanced Configuration

use dbnexus::{DbPool, config::DbConfigBuilder};

let config = DbConfigBuilder::new()
    .url("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
    .max_connections(20)
    .min_connections(5)
    .idle_timeout(300)
    .acquire_timeout(5000)
    .build()?;

let pool = DbPool::with_config(config).await?;

🔧 Environment Variables

export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db"
export DB_MAX_CONNECTIONS=20
export DB_MIN_CONNECTIONS=5
export DB_ADMIN_ROLE=admin

let pool = DbPool::new().await?;

🔄 Transactions

let mut session = pool.get_session("admin").await?;

// Begin transaction
session.begin_transaction().await?;

// Multiple operations
User::insert(&session, user1).await?;
User::insert(&session, user2).await?;

// Commit
session.commit_transaction().await?;

📊 Monitoring

use dbnexus::{DbPool, metrics::MetricsCollector};

let pool = DbPool::new("postgresql://localhost/db").await?;

// Get pool status
let status = pool.status();
println!("Active: {}, Idle: {}", status.active, status.idle);

// Export Prometheus metrics
let metrics = MetricsCollector::new(&pool);
println!("{}", metrics.export_prometheus());

🔒 Security

🛡️ Security Features

DBNexus is built with security in mind:

• No unsafe code - #![forbid(unsafe_code)] in all library code
• Permission enforcement - Table-level access control with compile-time verification
• SQL injection prevention - Parameterized queries by default
• Config path validation - Protection against path traversal attacks
• Rate limiting - Permission check rate limiting to prevent abuse
