cqlc

This a fork of relops/cqlc the upstream is no longer maintained.

Usage

# install the generator to $GOPATH/bin
make install
# generate table and column definition based on schema in keyspace cqlc
cqlc --instance=127.0.0.1 --keyspace=cqlc --package=foo --output=foo.go --symbols

You need to change the repo path in glide.yaml to use this fork

- package: github.com/relops/cqlc
  version: master
  repo: https://github.com/pingginp/cqlc.git

If you use go mod, add the following in your go.mod, go mod wiki

replace github.com/relops/cqlc => github.com/pingginp/cqlc v0.12.0

Dev

• clone the repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/relops/cqlc

# generate columns
make cqlc/columns.go
# e2e test
# TODO: you need to run it twice if schema changed because first time it will generate package based on schema, which won't get compiled ...
# this same as when using latex ... you do xelatex several times when there is bib ...
make travis-test
make travis-tear
# release, update cqlc/ver.go, build and zip binary for all three platforms, only mac is tested
make release

The code has two part, runtime and generator

• cqlc is the runtime, a query builder, don't get mislead by the column_generator.go it is mainly for generating runtime code that ships with the library
• generator generates table and column definition based on schema, NOTE: it now supports Cassandra 3

Runtime

The main modification to the runtime are listed below

• support update map value by key, previously, cqlc can only update entire map. (This change only requires update runtime)
• support IF in DELETE #13

Generator

The main modification to the generator are listed below

• generator now compiles, caused by breaking change of constant name in gocql
• support Cassandra 3 by adding a new literalType mapping for text -> string #12
• allow Eq on all columns to support IF in DELETE

The overall generator logic is

• get table meta using gocql
• render the template defined in tmpl.go using template helper methods defined in template.go
  • valueType is returning empty value for text, just add a new mapping in literalTypes fixed this #7
