## Overview
[GeekORM][crates-io] is a simple [Object Relation Mapper][docs-orm] for empowering your [Rust][rust-lang] development.
## ✨ Features
- Focus on simplicity
- Rely on Derive Macros to generate code for your structs
- Using `Table`
- Using `Data`
- Dynamically generate functions and corresponding SQL queries
- `.save(...)` - Inserting new rows
- `.update(...)` - Updating existing rows
- `.delete(...)` - Deleting rows
- Support for Backends Drivers
- [`rusqlite`][lib-rusqlite]
- [`libsql`][lib-libsql] ([Turso][web-turso])
- Automatic Migration Generation
- `geekorm-cli init` - Setup your migrations
- [Extensive crate features](#-create-features)
- [`rand`][docs-rand]: Generate random strings (set lenght, set prefix, set enviroment)
- [`hash` or `password`][docs-hash]: Generate secure Hashes of passwords (set algorithm)
- and more...
- [Documentation][docs]
## 📦 Installation
### 🦀 Library
You can install the library from [crates.io][crates]:
```bash
cargo add geekorm
```
Add the backend driver you want to use
```bash
cargo add rusqlite
# OR
cargo add libsql
```
Along with the backend driver for `geekorm`:
```bash
cargo add geekorm -F rusqlite
# OR
cargo add geekorm -F libsql
```
### 🛠️ CLI
If you want to manage your models and migrations using `geekorm`, you'll need to install the `geekorm-cli` command line tool.
```bash
cargo install geekorm-cli
```
## 🏃 Getting Started
GeekORM is easy to setup and use in your Rust project.
### 🏎️ Setting Up Migrations
The first thing you'll need to decide is if you want to use the `geekorm-cli` to manage your migrations or if you want to manage them manually.
You can use the `geekorm-cli` to help you manage your migrations.
```bash
geekorm-cli init
```
This will prompt you to enter some information about your setup and will generate a `crate` or a `module` for you to use.
Once you have setup your project, 2 new commands will be available to you:
```bash
# Generate a new migration (creates a new folders in your migrations directory)
geekorm-cli migrate
# Validate your migrations (runs from your initial migration to the latest)
geekorm-cli test
```
### 🚀 Writing your first model
Once you have installed `geekorm`, you can start using the derive macros like the following:
```rust
use anyhow::Result;
use geekorm::prelude::*;
/// Using the `Table` derive macro to generate the `Users` table
#[derive(Table, Debug, Default, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Users {
#[geekorm(primary_key, auto_increment)]
id: PrimaryKeyInteger,
/// Unique username field
#[geekorm(unique)]
username: String,
/// Password field with automatic hashing
#[geekorm(hash)]
password: String,
/// User Type Enum (defaults to `User`)
#[geekorm(new = "UserType::User")]
user_type: UserType,
}
#[derive(Data, Debug, Default, Clone)]
enum UserType {
Admin,
Moderator,
#[default]
User,
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
// Setup the database and connection
let database = ConnectionManager::connect(":memory:");
let connection = database.acquire().await?;
// Initialize or migrate the database using the `crate` or `module`.
// This is done using the `geekorm-cli` function
db::init(&conn).await?;
// [OR] You can create the tables manually
Users::create_table(&conn).await?;
// Use the generated `new` function to create a new User
// using the default values set in the struct.
let mut user = Users::new("GeekMasher", "ThisIsNotMyPassword");
// Saving the new User in the database
user.save(&connection).await?;
// Print the Primary Key value set by the database (auto_increment)
println!("User ID: {:?}", user.id);
// Updating the Users account type to Admin
user.user_type = UserType::Admin;
user.update(&connection).await?;
// Fetch the Admin Users
let admin_users = Users::fetch_by_user_type(&connection, UserType::Admin).await?;
println!("Admin Users: {:?}", admin_users);
// Counts the number of Users in the database
let total_users = Users::total(&connection).await?;
println!("Total Users: {:?}", total_users);
Ok(())
}
```
