🪐 PlanetScale Serverless Driver for Go

Makes doing queries to PlanetScale over HTTP in Go possible, allowing for the use of PlanetScale in serverless applications. Based on the PlanetScale Serverless Driver for JavaScript.

⚠️ Experimental

This library is incredibly experimental, as it uses undocumented API's only exposed by the aforementioned JavaScript driver. Things are subject to change as they update the driver.

Quick Start

Here's the essentials you need to get up and running with the library.

package main

import (
	"github.com/briamoe/go-planetscale-serverless"
)

type User struct {
	ID   int    `ps:"id"`
	Name string `ps:"name"`
}

func main() {
	c, err := planetscale.NewConnection(&planetscale.Config{
		Username: "<username>",
		Password: "<password>",
		Host:     "<host>",
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	e, err := c.Execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?", 1);
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var u []*User
	if err = e.Decode(&u); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Installation

Requires Go version 1.18 or higher.

go get -u github.com/briamoe/go-planetscale-serverless

Examples

Listed below are a few examples of how to use this library on different popular serverless providers.

• AWS

• Vercel

Connection

Creating a new connection creates a shared session that can be used across queries to PlanetScale.

To generate the credentials highlighted in <> below, head to your planetscale dashboard and select your database. Then go to Settings > Passwords > New password, and paste in the values it gives you.

planetscale.NewConnection(&planetscale.Config{
	Username: "<username>",
	Password: "<password>",
	Host:     "<host>",
})

Executing

Executing performs a query to a PlanetScale Database.

connection.Execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?", 1)

Selects

If a statement includes a select, you can grab the rows returned by using Decode(out interface{})

type User struct {
	ID   int    `ps:"id"`
	Name string `ps:"name"`
}

var []*User
executed.Decode(&u)

The use of ps tags are an imporant part of the decoding process, as it determines which fields inside sql are mapped to fields in a struct. Make sure to incude these!

Inserts or Updates

If a statement includes a insert or an update statement, you can access how many rows were affected or the insert id. These are set to 0 if a query doesn't include any of those.

fmt.Println(executed.RowsAffected) // 1
fmt.Println(executed.InsertID) // 200
