Gorialize

Gorialize is an embedded database that stores Go structs serialized to gobs.

Usage

Define a struct with an ID field of type int

type Person struct {
    ID   int
    Name string `gorialize:"indexed"`
    Age  uint   `gorialize:"indexed"`
}

Choose a directory to store serialized structs

dir := NewDirectory(DirectoryConfig{
    Path:       "/tmp/gorialize_test",
    Encrypted:  true,
    Passphrase: "my-secret-passphrase",
    Log:        false,
})

Persist a serialized struct

person := Person{
    Name: "John Doe",
    Age:  42,
})

dir.Create(&person)

fmt.Println(person.ID) // -> ID created by Gorialize

Find the serialized struct through its indexed struct fields

people := []Person{}

// using ORed WHERE clauses
dir.Find(&people,
    Where{Field: "Name", Equals: "John Doe"},
    Where{Field: "Age", Equals: 42},
)

// using ANDed WHERE clauses
dir.Find(&people,
    Where{Field: "Name", Equals: "John Doe", And: &Where{Field: "Age", Equals: 42}},
)

// by providing a slice of valid values
dir.Find(&people, Where{Field: "Name", In: []interface{"John Smith", "John Doe", "Jane Doe"}})

// by providing a range of valid int values
dir.Find(&people, Where{Field: "Age", Range: []int{40, 50}})

fmt.Println(people) // -> people slice containing John Doe

API

Example Resource Type

type User struct {
    ID   int  // <-- required field
    Name string `gorialize:"indexed"`
}

Directory

type Directory struct {
    Path      string
    Encrypted bool
    Key       *[32]byte
    Log       bool
}

Directory exposes methods to read and write serialized structs inside a base directory.

DirectoryConfig

type DirectoryConfig struct {
    Path       string
    Encrypted  bool
    Passphrase string
    Log        bool
}

DirectoryConfig holds parameters to be passed to NewDirectory().

Where Clause

type Where struct {
    Field  string
    Equals interface{}
    In     []interface{}
    Range  []int
    And    *Where
}

Where clauses are passed to Find() and can be ANDed by being chained via Where#And.

NewDirectory

func NewDirectory(config DirectoryConfig) *Directory

NewDirectory returns a new Directory struct for the given configuration.

Create

func (dir Directory) Create(resource interface{}) error

Create creates a new serialized resource and sets its ID.

Read

func (dir Directory) Read(resource interface{}, id int) error

Read reads the serialized resource with the given ID.

ReadAll

func (dir Directory) ReadAll(slice interface{}) error

ReadAll reads all serialized resources of the given slice's element type and appends them to the slice.

ReadAllCB

func (dir Directory) ReadAllCB(resource interface{}, callback func(resource interface{})) error

ReadAllCB reads all serialized resources of the given type and calls the provided callback function on each.

Find

func (dir Directory) Find(slice interface{}, clauses ...Where) error

Find finds all serialized resource of the given slice's element type matching all given WHERE clauses ORed and appends them to the slice.

FindCB

func (dir Directory) FindCB(resource interface{}, callback func(resource interface{}), clauses ...Where) error

FindCB finds all serialized resource of the given type matching all given WHERE clauses ORed and calls the provided callback function on each.

Replace

func (dir Directory) Replace(resource interface{}) error

Replace replaces a serialized resource

Delete

func (dir Directory) Delete(resource interface{}) error

Delete deletes a serialized resource.

DeleteAll

func (dir Directory) DeleteAll(resource interface{}) error

DeleteAll deletes all serialized resources of the given type.

GetOwner

func (dir Directory) GetOwner(resource interface{}, owner interface{}) error

GetOwner reads the serialized resource which owns the given resource. The resource needs to have an addressable owner ID int field which follows a 'FooID' naming convention where 'Foo' is the owner type.
