Derive Macro Queryable 

#[derive(Queryable)]
{
    // Attributes available to this derive:
    #[edgedb]
}

Derive macro that allows structs and enums to be populated by database queries.

This derive can be used on structures with named fields (which correspond to “shapes” in EdgeDB).

#[derive(edgedb_client::Queryable)]
struct User {
    first_name: String,
    age: i32,
}

Field attributes

JSON

The #[edgedb(json)] attribute decodes a field using serde_json instead of the EdgeDB binary protocol. This is useful if some data is stored in the database as JSON, but you need to process it. The underlying type must implement serde::Deserialize.

#[derive(edgedb_client::Queryable)]
struct User {
    #[edgedb(json)]
    user_notes: HashMap<String, String>,
}

Container attributes

JSON

The #[edgedb(json)] attribute can be used to unpack the structure from the returned JSON. The underlying type must implement serde::Deserialize.

#[derive(edgedb_client::Queryable, serde::Deserialize)]
#[edgedb(json)]
struct JsonData {
    field1: String,
    field2: u32,
}
