Kabin: Multiplatform Database Library

A Kotlin Multiplatform library for database storage, which aims to support all functionality offered by Room.

Kabin uses drivers from SQLDelight, offering a stable interaction with SQL on all targets supported by the latter.

Caution

This library is still under development. Avoid using it in production. You are very welcome to create issues and Pull Requests. Contribution will accelerate development, and pave the way for a production ready solution.

Showcase

Using Kabin is straight forward. Annotations are identical to those in Room, which means usage is identical too. Here's how you declare a simple database:

  1. Create an Entity:
@Entity
data class UserEntity(
    @PrimaryKey
    val id: Int,
    val name: String
)
  1. Create a Dao:
@Dao
interface UserDao {
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    suspend fun insertOrReplace(entity: UserEntity)
}
  1. Create a Database:
@Database(
    entities = [
        UserEntity::class
    ],
    version = 1
)
interface SampleDatabase : KabinDatabase {
    val userDao: UserDao
}

Kabin will generate code for you and glue everything together.

  1. Finally, create a platform configuration, then pass it to the newInstance method, to initialize SampleDatabase:
// Create configuration for every platform, here's an example for android
val configuration = KabinDatabaseConfiguration(
    context = this,
    name = "sample-database"
)

val sampleDatabase = SampleDatabase::class.newInstance(
    configuration,
    migrations = emptyList(),
    migrationStrategy = KabinMigrationStrategy.DESTRUCTIVE
)

For more advanced topics, read Room documentation and tutorials, and apply the same logic using Kabin.

Installation

Latest Kabin version

Kabin Release

Add common modules to your sourceSet:

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                // Kabin
                implementation("com.attafitamim.kabin:core:$kabin_version")
            }

            // Make generated code visible for commonMain
            kotlin.srcDir("$buildDir/generated/ksp/metadata/commonMain/kotlin/")
        }
    }
}

Add ksp compiler:

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.multiplatform)
    alias(libs.plugins.ksp)
}

dependencies {
    add("kspCommonMainMetadata", "com.attafitamim.kabin:compiler:$kabin_version")
}

// Workaround for using KSP in common
tasks.withType<KotlinCompile<*>>().configureEach {
    if (name != "kspCommonMainKotlinMetadata") {
        dependsOn("kspCommonMainKotlinMetadata")
    }
}

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.filter { task ->
        task.name.contains("SourcesJar", true)
    }.forEach { task ->
        task.dependsOn("kspCommonMainKotlinMetadata")
    }
}

Optional

Configure ksp processor to generate more suitable code for you

ksp {
    // Use this prefix for fts tables to keep the old room scheme
    arg("FTS_TRIGGER_NAME_PREFIX", "room_fts_content_sync")
}

Available keys, with their default values

TABLE_SUFFIX("KabinTable")
ENTITY_MAPPER_SUFFIX("KabinMapper")
DATABASE_SUFFIX("KabinDatabase")
DAO_SUFFIX("KabinDao")
DAO_QUERIES_SUFFIX("KabinQueries")
INDEX_NAME_PREFIX("index")
FTS_TRIGGER_NAME_PREFIX("kabin_fts_content_sync")
BEFORE_UPDATE_TRIGGER_NAME_SUFFIX("BEFORE_UPDATE")
AFTER_UPDATE_TRIGGER_NAME_SUFFIX("AFTER_UPDATE")
BEFORE_DELETE_TRIGGER_NAME_SUFFIX("BEFORE_DELETE")
AFTER_INSERT_TRIGGER_NAME_SUFFIX("AFTER_INSERT")
