sequel-rails

This gem provides the railtie that allows sequel to hook into Rails (4.x and 5.x) and thus behave like a rails framework component. Just like activerecord does in rails, sequel-rails uses the railtie API to hook into rails. The two are actually hooked into rails almost identically.

The code for this gem was initially taken from the excellent dm-rails project.

This was originally a fork of brasten's sequel-rails that has been updated to support newer versions of rails.

Since January 2013, we've become the official maintainers of the gem after brasten proposed us.

Using sequel-rails

Using sequel with Rails (4.x or 5.x) requires a couple minor changes.

First, add the following to your Gemfile (after the Rails lines):

# depending on you database
gem "pg"        # for PostgreSQL
gem "mysql2"    # for MySQL
gem "sqlite3"   # for Sqlite

gem "sequel-rails"

... be sure to run "bundle install" if needed!

Secondly, you'll need to require the different Rails components separately in your config/application.rb file, and not require ActiveRecord. The top of your config/application.rb will probably look something like:

# require 'rails/all'

# Instead of 'rails/all', require these:
require "active_model/railtie"
require "active_job/railtie"
# require "active_record/railtie"
require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
require "action_view/railtie"
require "action_cable/engine"
require "sprockets/railtie"
require "rails/test_unit/railtie"

Then you need to get rid of ActiveRecord configurations, that is if you didn't generate the new app with -O (or the long form --skip-active-record):

For example in a fresh Rails 5.0.0.1, you would need to remove those lines:

config/initializers/new_framework_defaults.rb
line 18:  Rails.application.config.active_record.belongs_to_required_by_default = true

config/environments/development.rb
line 38:  config.active_record.migration_error = :page_load

config/environments/production.rb
line 85:  config.active_record.dump_schema_after_migration = false

Starting with sequel-rails 0.4.0.pre3 we don't change default Sequel behaviour nor include any plugin by default, if you want to get back the previous behaviour, you can create a new initializer (eg: config/initializers/sequel.rb) with content:

require "sequel_rails/railties/legacy_model_config"

After those changes, you should be good to go!

Features provided by `sequel-rails`

Connection management:

sequel-rails will initiate the Sequel connection mechanism based on your configuration in database.yml.

Generators:

You can use them just like ActiveRecord's ones:

Migration:

rails generate migration create_admin_users
# Or
rails generate migration CreateAdminUsers

Model:

rails generate model User email:string

Observer:

rails generate observer User

Session:

rails generate sequel:session_migration

Rake tasks similar to ActiveRecord, see Available sequel specific rake tasks
Add some Sequel and sequel-rails specific exceptions to ActionDispatch's rescue_responses

Sequel::Plugins::RailsExtensions::ModelNotFound is mapped to :not_found

Sequel::NoMatchingRow is mapped to :not_found

Sequel::ValidationFailed is mapped to :unprocessable_entity

Sequel::NoExistingObject is mapped to :unprocessable_entity
Add a i18n_scope method to Sequel::Model which respond with "sequel". This is used by ActiveModel.
Adding Sequel to ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber. This is what allows you to see SQL queries in the log and also allows us to implement the next item.
Add a hook in ActionController::Base so that the sum of SQL queries time for the current action is reported as DB for the controller's line in logs.
Provide a ActionDispatch::Session::SequelStore similar to the ActiveRecord one, which stores sessions in database backed by a Sequel model.

Configuration

You can configure some options with the usual rails mechanism, in config/application.rb and/or in config/environments/*.rb.

    # Allowed options: :sql, :ruby.
    config.sequel.schema_format = :sql

    # Whether to dump the schema after successful migrations.
    # Defaults to false in production and test, true otherwise.
    config.sequel.schema_dump = true

    # These override corresponding settings from the database config.
    config.sequel.max_connections = 16
    config.sequel.search_path = %w(mine public)

    # Configure whether database's rake tasks will be loaded or not.
    #
    # If passed a String or Symbol, this will replace the `db:` namespace for
    # the database's Rake tasks.
    #
    # ex: config.sequel.load_database_tasks = :sequel
    #     will results in `rake db:migrate` to become `rake sequel:migrate`
    #
    # Defaults to true
    config.sequel.load_database_tasks = false

    # This setting disabled the automatic connect after Rails init
    config.sequel.skip_connect = true

    # If you want to use a specific logger
    config.sequel.logger = MyLogger.new($stdout)

The connection settings are read from the file config/database.yml and is expected to be similar to ActiveRecord's format.

Here's some examples:

For PostgreSQL:

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: a_database_name
  user: user_name # Also accept 'username' as key, if both are present 'username' is used
  password: password
  host: 10.0.0.2 # Optional
  port: 5432 # Optional
  owner: owner_name # Optional
  encoding: utf8 # Optional, also accept 'charset' as key, if both are present 'encoding' is used (defaults to 'utf8')
  maintenance_db: template2 # Optional
  locale: en_US.UTF-8 # Optional, equivalent to setting 'collation' and 'ctype' to the same value
  collation: en_US.UTF-8 # Optional
  ctype: en_US.UTF-8 # Optional
  template: template1 # Optional
  tablespace: non_default_tablespace_name # Optional
  max_connections: 20 # Optional, also accept 'pool' as key, if both are present 'max_connections' is used (default to nil, Sequel default is 4)
  url: "postgres://myuser:mypass@host/somedatabase" # Optional, if present it's passed to `Sequel.connect` with other config as options
                                                    # If url is not set in config file, environment variable `DATABASE_URL` is used

For MySQL:

development:
  adapter: mysql # Also accept mysql2
  database: a_database_name
  user: user_name # Also accept 'username' as key, if both are present 'username' is used
  password: password
  host: 10.0.0.2 # Optional
  port: 5432 # Optional
  charset: latin1 # Optional (defaults to 'utf8')
  collation: latin1_general_ci # Optional (defaults to 'utf8_unicode_ci')
  url: "mysql://myuser:mypass@host/somedatabase" # Optional, if present it's passed to `Sequel.connect` with other config as options
                                                 # If url is not set in config file, environment variable `DATABASE_URL` is used

For SQLite:

development:
  adapter: sqlite # Also accept sqlite3
  database: db/mydatabase.sqlite # Path to db relative to Rails root

For in memory testing:

```yaml
development:
  adapter: sqlite # Also accept sqlite3
  database: ":memory:"
```

Enabling plugins

If you want to enable plugins for all your models, you should use the after_connect configuration option in config/application.rb (0.6.2+):

    config.sequel.after_connect = proc do
      Sequel::Model.plugin :timestamps, update_on_create: true
    end

This will ensure that these plugins are loaded before any Sequel models are loaded. Loading plugins into Sequel::Model after subclasses are already created is not supported by Sequel. You can also load extensions in after_connect or perform any custom actions that you need.

Please note: some plugins require a dataset to work, which means they can't be added via Sequel::Model.plugin, they need to be added to a Sequel::Model subclass whose underlying table exists.

Using the `SequelStore` to store session in database

If you want to store your session in the database you can use the provided session store backed by a Sequel model. Edit your config/initializers/session.rb file and replace the existing code with:

YourAppName::Application.config.session_store :sequel_store

You can then generate a migration for the session table using the provided generator:

rails generate sequel:session_migration
rake db:migrate

Optionally if you want to use your own Sequel model to handle the session, you can do so in your config/initializers/session.rb:

ActionDispatch::Session::SequelStore.session_class = MyCustomSessionModelClass

Available sequel specific rake tasks

To get a list of all available rake tasks in your rails3 app, issue the usual in you app's root directory:

rake -T

or if you don't have hooks in place to run commands with bundle by default:

bundle exec rake -T

Once you do that, you will see the following rake tasks among others. These are the ones that sequel-rails added or replaced:

rake db:create[env]                   # Create the database defined in config/database.yml for the current Rails.env
rake db:create:all                    # Create all the local databases defined in config/database.yml
rake db:drop[env]                     # Create the database defined in config/database.yml for the current Rails.env
rake db:drop:all                      # Drops all the local databases defined in config/database.yml
rake db:force_close_open_connections  # Forcibly close any open connections to the test database
rake db:migrate                       # Migrate the database to the latest version
rake db:migrate:down                  # Runs the "down" for a given migration VERSION.
rake db:migrate:redo                  # Rollbacks the database one migration and re migrate up.
rake db:migrate:reset                 # Resets your database using your migrations for the current environment
rake db:migrate:up                    # Runs the "up" for a given migration VERSION.
rake db:reset                         # Drops and recreates the database from db/schema.rb for the current environment and loads the seeds.
rake db:schema:dump                   # Create a db/schema.rb file that can be portably used against any DB supported by Sequel
rake db:schema:load                   # Load a schema.rb file into the database
rake db:seed                          # Load the seed data from db/seeds.rb
rake db:setup                         # Create the database, load the schema, and initialize with the seed data
rake db:test:prepare                  # Prepare test database (ensure all migrations ran, drop and re-create database then load schema). This task can be run in the same invocation as other task (eg: rake db:migrate db:test:prepare).

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add specs for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
