NINA
====
NINA is a simple database querying library/API for Scala. There is a provided implementation for MySQL through ANORM/Play2, but the NINA core has no external dependencies.

Installation (when used with Play 2)
------------------------------------
First add the Nullable.se Maven repository (http://nexus.nullable.se/nexus/content/repositories/releases/) to the Play project settings, then add a dependency on "se.nullable.nina" %% "nina-play" % "0.0.2". From a vanilla Build.scala looking like this

{{{#!scala
import sbt._
import Keys._
import PlayProject._

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

val appName = "mysite"
val appVersion = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

val appDependencies = Seq(
// Add your project dependencies here,
)

val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = SCALA).settings(
// Add your own project settings here
)

}
}}}

you should modify it so it looks like this

{{{#!scala
import sbt._
import Keys._
import PlayProject._

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

val appName = "mysite"
val appVersion = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

val appDependencies = Seq(
"se.nullable.nina" %% "nina-play" % "0.0.2"
// Add your project dependencies here,
)

val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = SCALA).settings(
resolvers += "Nullable.se" at "http://nexus.nullable.se/nexus/content/repositories/releases/"
// Add your own project settings here
)

}
}}}

Usage
-----
First of all, in your model file, import NINA, as well as the implementation like this (assuming you use the play2 mysql implementation):

{{{#!scala
import nina._
import nina.impl.play.mysql._
}}}

Then you could declare your tables like this:

{{{#!scala
object MyTable extends Table("mytable") with PrimaryKey[Int] {
val pk = id // Declare the primary key

val id: Column[Int] = col[Int]("id") // Declare an INTEGER column with the name id
val optional: Column[Option[String]] = optCol[String]("optional") // Declare some kind of nullable string column with the name option
}
}}}

Then you should `import nina._` in your consuming source files.

After that you could, for example, println a tuple of (id, optional) for each row:

{{{#!scala
for (id & optional <- MyTable get (MyTable.id & MyTable.optional) all()) {
println(id -> optional)
}
}}}

Or if you, say, wanted to retrieve the optional for a given id:

{{{#!scala
def getOptionalFromId(id: Int): Option[String] = {
MyTable where (MyTable.id === id) get MyTable.optional single() getOrElse None // single() returns a None if no row matched.
}
}}}
