mysql-swift

MySQL client library for Swift. This is inspired by Node.js' mysql and Himotoki as decoding results.

• Based on libmysqlclient
• Raw SQL query
• Simple query formatting and escaping (same as Node's)
• Decoding and mapping queried results to Swift struct or class

Note: No asynchronous support currently. It depends libmysqlclient.

// Declare a model

struct User: QueryRowResultType, QueryParameterDictionaryType {
    let id: Int
    let userName: String
    let age: Int?
    let status: Status
    let createdAt: Date
    
    enum Status: String, SQLEnumType {
        case created = "created"
        case verified = "verified"
    }
    
    // Decode query results (selecting rows) to a model
    static func decodeRow(r: QueryRowResult) throws -> User {
        return try User(
            id: r <| 0, // as index
            userName: r <| "name", // as field name
            age: r <|? 3, // nullable field,
            status: r <| "status", // string enum type
            createdAt: r <| "created_at"
        )
    }
    
    // Use this model as a query paramter
    // See inserting example
    func queryParameter() throws -> QueryDictionary {
        return QueryDictionary([
            //"id": // auto increment
            "name": userName,
            "age": age,
            "status": status,
            "created_at": createdAt
        ])
    }
}
    
// Selecting
let nameParam: String = "some one"
let ids: [QueryParameter] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
let optional:Int? = nil
let params: (Int, Int?, String, QueryArray) = (
	50,
	optional,
	nameParam,
	QueryArray(ids)
)	
let rows: [User] = try conn.query("SELECT id,name,created_at,age FROM users WHERE (age > ? OR age is ?) OR name = ? OR id IN (?)", build(params) ])

// Inserting
let age: Int? = 26
let user = User(id: 0, userName: "novi", age: age, createdAt: Date())
let status = try conn.query("INSERT INTO users SET ?", [user]) as QueryStatus
let newId = status.insertedId
        
// Updating
let defaultAge = 30
try conn.query("UPDATE users SET age = ? WHERE age is NULL;", [defaultAge])
            
        

Requirements

• Swift 3.0.2 or Swift 3.1

Dependencies

• MariaDB Connector/C (libmysqlclient) 2.2.3

macOS

• Install mariadb(includes libmysqlclient).

$ brew install mariadb

Ubuntu Linux

• Install libmariadbclient
• Follow Setting up MariaDB Repositories and set up your repository.

$ sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

Installation

Swift Package Manager

• Add mysql-swift to Package.swift of your project.

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/novi/mysql-swift.git", majorVersion: 0)
    ]
)

Note: You may need to specify library path for libmysqlclient to link with.

* Linux
swift build -Xlinker -L/usr/lib -Xlinker -lmysqlclient
* macOS 
swift build -Xlinker -L/usr/local/opt/mariadb/lib -Xlinker -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -Xcc -I/usr/local/opt/mariadb/include -Xlinker -lmysqlclient

Generate Xcode project

* Swift 3.0.2
$ make genxcodeproj
* Swift 3.1
$ make genxcodeproj31

Usage

Connection & Querying

1. Create a pool with options (hostname, port, password,...).
2. Use pool.execute(). It automatically get and release a connection.

	let options = Options(host: "your.mysql.host"...)
	let pool = ConnectionPool(options: options) // Create pool with options
	let rows: [User] = try pool.execute { conn in
		// The connection is held in this block
		try conn.query("SELECT * FROM users;") // And it returns result to outside execute block
	}

Transaction

	let wholeStaus: QueryStatus = try pool.transaction { conn in
		let status = try conn.query("INSERT INTO users SET ?;", [user]) as QueryStatus // Create a user
		let userId = status.insertedId // the user's id
		try conn.query("UPDATE info SET val = ? WHERE key = 'latest_user_id' ", [userId]) // Store user's id that we have created the above
	}
	wholeStaus.affectedRows == 1 // true
