Pgtogogen is a Postgres-entities-to-Go structures generator with the low-level db connectivity details handled by Jack Christensen's pgx project (https://github.com/jackc/pgx). The project was started in late 2014, committed to GitHub in early 2015, and I've kept adding features sporadically ever since.
The project is partially functional. As is the case with most GitHub projects, use it at your own risk.
pgtogogen is compatible with github.com/jackc/pgx/v3. For github.com/jackc/pgx/v2 compatibility, you will need to use the pgxV2 branch of pgtogogen
pgtogogen/v2 version supports a minimum of github.com/jackc/pgx/v4. It will not work with earlier versions.
To install the github.com/jackc/pgx/v3 compatible tool, run:
go get -u github.com/silviucm/utils
go get -u github.com/silviucm/pgtogogenTo install the github.com/jackc/pgx/v4 compatible tool, run:
go get -u github.com/silviucm/utils
go get -u github.com/silviucm/pgtogogen/v2Assuming an empty subdirectory named "models" exists in the location where you will run the command:
pgtogogen -h=localhost -n=mydatabasename -u=mydatabaseuser -pass=mydatabasepasswordInitialize the database (do it in the main init() function or as soon as possible in the main() function):
// the models package is the one generated by the tool (e.g. github.com/yourproject/models)
var poolMaxConnections int = 100
_, err := models.InitDatabaseMinimal("192.168.0.1", 5432, "hellouser", "hellopass", "mydatabase", poolMaxConnections)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("FAIL:", err.Error())
} else {
fmt.Println("OK.")
