Crate diesel_mysql_spatial

Diesel MySQL Spatial is an extension to Diesel that provides support for the MySQL flavour of OpenGIS spatial data types and the associated SQL functions.

Declaring your schema

The types in diesel_mysql_spatial::sql_types may be used in Diesel table! macros.

If you use the diesel.toml file for automatic schema generation, you need to add the module to the import_types list:

[print_schema]
## Add types from `diesel_mysql_spatial` like `LineString`
import_types = ["diesel::sql_types::*", "diesel_mysql_spatial::sql_types::*"]

Constructing a query

This crate provides Diesel DSL functions for most spatial SQL functions. They live in the dsl module.

use diesel_mysql_spatial::dsl::ST_IsValid;

let valid_districts = districts.select(area).filter(ST_IsValid(area));

Serializing and Deserializing

Diesel MySQL Spatial maps “Rust types” defined in the data_types module (e.g. diesel_mysql_spatial::data_types::Point) to and from “SQL types” (e.g. diesel_mysql_spatial::sql_types::Point). The latter types are only used to represent a SQL type. You should only put the structs in data_types into your Queryable structs.

Modules

Structs that represent the Rust equivalent of spatial SQL types

dsl

Re-exports helper types and functions for SQL expressions

functions

MySQL specific spatial functions for use in SQL expressions

helper_types

Helper types that represent return types of spatial functions

sql_types

Spatial SQL types which may be used in table definitions

Enums

GeometryError

The error type for (de-)serialization and conversion errors of spatial datatypes.
