Go driver for Fauna v4

Official Golang driver for Fauna v4

Caution

This driver is not compatible with Fauna v10, the latest version.

For new development, use the official Fauna v10 driver: https://github.com/fauna/fauna-go.

The offical Golang driver for Fauna v4.

Supported Go Versions

Currently, the driver is tested on:

• 1.13
• 1.14
• 1.15
• 1.16

Using the Driver

Installing

To get the latest version run:

go get github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb

Please note that our driver undergoes breaking changes from time to time, so depending on our main branch is not recommended. It is recommended to use one of the following methods instead:

Importing

For better usage, we recommend that you import this driver with an alias import.

Using dep or go get

To import a specific version when using go get, use:

import f "github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb"

Basic Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	f "github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb"
)

type User struct {
	Name string `fauna:"name"`
}

func main() {
	client := f.NewFaunaClient("your-secret-here")

	res, err := client.Query(f.Get(f.Ref(f.Collection("user"), "42")))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var user User

	if err := res.At(f.ObjKey("data")).Get(&user); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(user)
}

Streaming feature usage

package main

import f "github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb"

func main() {
	secret := ""
	dbClient = f.NewFaunaClient(secret)
	var ref f.RefV
	value, err := dbClient.Query(f.Get(&ref))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	err = value.At(f.ObjKey("ref")).Get(&docRef)
	var subscription f.StreamSubscription
	subscription = dbClient.Stream(docRef)
	err = subscription.Start()
	if err != nil {
		panic("Panic")
	}
	for a := range subscription.StreamEvents() {
		switch a.Type() {

		case f.StartEventT:
			// do smth on start event

		case f.HistoryRewriteEventT:
			// do smth on historyRewrite event

		case f.VersionEventT:
			// do smth on version event

		case f.ErrorEventT:
			// do smth on error event
			subscription.Close() // if you want to close streaming on errors
		}
	}
}

Omitempty usage

package main

import f "github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb"

func main() {
	secret := ""
	dbClient = f.NewFaunaClient(secret)
	var ref f.RefV
	value, err := dbClient.Query(f.Get(&ref))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	type OmitStruct struct {
		Name           string      `fauna:"name,omitempty"`
		Age            int         `fauna:"age,omitempty"`
		Payment        float64     `fauna:"payment,omitempty"`
		AgePointer     *int        `fauna:"agePointer,omitempty"`
		PaymentPointer *float64    `fauna:"paymentPointer,omitempty"`
	}
	_, err := dbClient.Query(
		f.Create(f.Collection("categories"), f.Obj{"data": OmitStruct{Name: "John", Age: 0}}))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Result (empty/zero fields will be ignored):

{
  "ref": Ref(Collection("categories"), "295143889346494983"),
  "ts": 1617729997710000,
  "data": {
    "name": "John"
  }
}

Http2 support

Driver uses http2 by default. To use http 1.x provide custom http client to FaunaClient

package main

import f "github.com/fauna/faunadb-go/v4/faunadb"

func main() {
	secret := ""
	customHttpClient := http.Client{}
	dbClient = f.NewFaunaClient(secret, f.HTTP(&customHttpClient))
}

For more information about Fauna Query Language (FQL), consult our query language [reference documentation](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/v4/api/fql/).

Specific reference documentation for the driver is hosted at GoDoc.

Most users found tests for the driver as a very useful form of documentation Check it out here.

Contributing

GitHub pull requests are very welcome.

Driver Development

Run go get -t ./... in order to install project's dependencies.

Run tests against FaunaDB Cloud by passing your root database key to the test suite, as follows: FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" go test ./....

If you have access to another running FaunaDB database, use the FAUNA_ENDPOINT environment variable to specify its URI.

Alternatively, tests can be run via a Docker container with FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" make docker-test (an alternate Debian-based Go image can be provided via RUNTIME_IMAGE).

Tip: Setting the FAUNA_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable will set a timeout in milliseconds for all queries.
