⚠️ You are currently viewing version 2 ⚠️

SurrealDB Erlang, also referred to as "surreal", is a robust and maintainable SurrealDB driver for BEAM ecosystem.

The library draws inspiration from the official [surrealdb.js](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb.js) implementation.

## Installation

SurrealDB Erlang is available on [Hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/surreal).

Add `surreal` to your list of dependencies in `rebar.config` file:

```erlang
{deps, [{surreal, "2.1.0"}]}.
```

## Getting Started

### Creating a Connection

You can establish a database connection with `surreal:start_link/2` (or `surreal:start_link/3`).

Check out SurrealDB URI format described in the [documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/surreal/surreal_config.html#module-surrealdb-uri-format).

```erlang
{ok, Pid} = surreal:start_link("surrealdb://root:root@localhost:8000/test/test", my_connection).
```

Alternatively, you can use the specified connection name, `my_connection`, in place of `Pid`, as shown below:

```erlang
{ok, Users} = surreal:select(my_connection, "users").
```

### Example Usage

SurrealDB Erlang offers users a clean API, demonstrated below:

```erlang
1> {ok, User} = surreal:create(Pid, "users:meppu", #{<<"score">> => 10}).
% {ok,#{<<"id">> => <<"users:meppu">>,<<"score">> => 10}}
2> {ok, NewUser} = surreal:merge(Pid, "users:meppu", #{<<"new">> => <<"key">>}).
% {ok,#{<<"id">> => <<"users:meppu">>,<<"new">> => <<"key">>,
% <<"score">> => 10}}
3> [{ok, QueryResp}] = surreal:query(Pid, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE score = $score", #{<<"score">> => 10}).
% [{ok,[#{<<"id">> => <<"users:meppu">>,<<"new">> => <<"key">>,
% <<"score">> => 10}]}]
4> {ok, RemovedUser} = surreal:delete(Pid, "users:meppu").
% {ok,#{<<"id">> => <<"users:meppu">>,<<"new">> => <<"key">>,
% <<"score">> => 10}}
5> RemovedUser =:= NewUser.
% true
```

### With Supervisor

The recommended approach to initialise a SurrealDB connection is through a supervisor.

You can use `surreal:child_spec/1` to create a child specification for your supervisor, as shown below:

```erlang
ChildSpecs = [
surreal:child_spec({"surrealdb://root:root@localhost:8000/test/test", db_conn, #{}})
],
```
