README
🐘 Non-blocking, event-driven Swift client for PostgreSQL built on [SwiftNIO].
Features:
- A [`PostgresConnection`] which allows you to connect to, authorize with, query, and retrieve results from a PostgreSQL server
- A [`PostgresClient`] which pools and manages connections
- An async/await interface that supports backpressure
- Automatic conversions between Swift primitive types and the Postgres wire format
- Integrated with the Swift server ecosystem, including use of [SwiftLog] and [ServiceLifecycle].
- Designed to run efficiently on all supported platforms (tested extensively on Linux and Darwin systems)
- Support for `Network.framework` when available (e.g. on Apple platforms)
- Supports running on Unix Domain Sockets## API Docs
Check out the [PostgresNIO API docs][Documentation] for a
detailed look at all of the classes, structs, protocols, and more.## Getting started
Interested in an example? We prepared a simple [Birthday example](https://github.com/vapor/postgres-nio/blob/main/Snippets/Birthdays.swift)
in the Snippets folder.#### Adding the dependency
Add `PostgresNIO` as dependency to your `Package.swift`:
```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/postgres-nio.git", from: "1.21.0"),
...
]
```Add `PostgresNIO` to the target you want to use it in:
```swift
targets: [
.target(name: "MyFancyTarget", dependencies: [
.product(name: "PostgresNIO", package: "postgres-nio"),
])
]
```#### Creating a client
To create a [`PostgresClient`], which pools connections for you, first create a configuration object:
```swift
import PostgresNIOlet config = PostgresClient.Configuration(
host: "localhost",
port: 5432,
username: "my_username",
password: "my_password",
database: "my_database",
tls: .disable
)
```Next you can create you client with it:
```swift
let client = PostgresClient(configuration: config)
```Once you have create your client, you must [`run()`] it:
```swift
await withTaskGroup(of: Void.self) { taskGroup in
taskGroup.addTask {
await client.run() // !important
}// You can use the client while the `client.run()` method is not cancelled.
// To shutdown the client, cancel its run method, by cancelling the taskGroup.
taskGroup.cancelAll()
}
```#### Querying
Once a client is running, queries can be sent to the server. This is straightforward:
```swift
let rows = try await client.query("SELECT id, username, birthday FROM users")
```The query will return a [`PostgresRowSequence`], which is an AsyncSequence of [`PostgresRow`]s.
The rows can be iterated one-by-one:```swift
for try await row in rows {
// do something with the row
}
```#### Decoding from PostgresRow
However, in most cases it is much easier to request a row's fields as a set of Swift types:
```swift
for try await (id, username, birthday) in rows.decode((Int, String, Date).self) {
// do something with the datatypes.
}
```A type must implement the [`PostgresDecodable`] protocol in order to be decoded from a row. PostgresNIO provides default implementations for most of Swift's builtin types, as well as some types provided by Foundation:
- `Bool`
- `Bytes`, `Data`, `ByteBuffer`
- `Date`
- `UInt8`, `Int16`, `Int32`, `Int64`, `Int`
- `Float`, `Double`
- `String`
- `UUID`#### Querying with parameters
Sending parameterized queries to the database is also supported (in the coolest way possible):
```swift
let id = 1
let username = "fancyuser"
let birthday = Date()
try await client.query("""
INSERT INTO users (id, username, birthday) VALUES (\(id), \(username), \(birthday))
""",
logger: logger
)
```While this looks at first glance like a classic case of [SQL injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection) 😱, PostgresNIO's API ensures that this usage is safe. The first parameter of the [`query(_:logger:)`] method is not a plain `String`, but a [`PostgresQuery`], which implements Swift's `ExpressibleByStringInterpolation` protocol. PostgresNIO uses the literal parts of the provided string as the SQL query and replaces each interpolated value with a parameter binding. Only values which implement the [`PostgresEncodable`] protocol may be interpolated in this way. As with [`PostgresDecodable`], PostgresNIO provides default implementations for most common types.
Some queries do not receive any rows from the server (most often `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` queries with no `RETURNING` clause, not to mention most DDL queries). To support this, the [`query(_:logger:)`] method is marked `@discardableResult`, so that the compiler does not issue a warning if the return value is not used.
