🚀 GocqlX

GocqlX makes working with Scylla easy and less error-prone. It’s inspired by Sqlx, a tool for working with SQL databases, but it goes beyond what Sqlx provides.

Features

Binding query parameters from struct fields, map, or both
Scanning query results into structs based on field names
Convenient functions for common tasks such as loading a single row into a struct or all rows into a slice (list) of structs
Making any struct a UDT without implementing marshalling functions
GocqlX is fast. Its performance is comparable to raw driver. You can find some benchmarks here.

Subpackages provide additional functionality:

CQL query builder (package qb)
CRUD operations based on table model (package table)
Database migrations (package migrate)

Installation

    go get -u github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v2

Getting started

Wrap gocql Session:

// Create gocql cluster.
cluster := gocql.NewCluster(hosts...)
// Wrap session on creation, gocqlx session embeds gocql.Session pointer. 
session, err := gocqlx.WrapSession(cluster.CreateSession())
if err != nil {
	t.Fatal(err)
}

Specify table model:

// metadata specifies table name and columns it must be in sync with schema.
var personMetadata = table.Metadata{
	Name:    "person",
	Columns: []string{"first_name", "last_name", "email"},
	PartKey: []string{"first_name"},
	SortKey: []string{"last_name"},
}

// personTable allows for simple CRUD operations based on personMetadata.
var personTable = table.New(personMetadata)

// Person represents a row in person table.
// Field names are converted to camel case by default, no need to add special tags.
// If you want to disable a field add `db:"-"` tag, it will not be persisted.
type Person struct {
	FirstName string
	LastName  string
	Email     []string
}

Bind data from a struct and insert a row:

p := Person{
	"Michał",
	"Matczuk",
	[]string{"michal@scylladb.com"},
}
q := session.Query(personTable.Insert()).BindStruct(p)
if err := q.ExecRelease(); err != nil {
	t.Fatal(err)
}

Load a single row to a struct:

p := Person{
	"Michał",
	"Matczuk",
	nil, // no email
}
q := session.Query(personTable.Get()).BindStruct(p)
if err := q.GetRelease(&p); err != nil {
	t.Fatal(err)
}
t.Log(p)
// stdout: {Michał Matczuk [michal@scylladb.com]}

Load all rows in to a slice:

var people []Person
q := session.Query(personTable.Select()).BindMap(qb.M{"first_name": "Michał"})
if err := q.SelectRelease(&people); err != nil {
	t.Fatal(err)
}
t.Log(people)
// stdout: [{Michał Matczuk [michal@scylladb.com]}]

Examples

You can find lots of examples in example_test.go.

Go and run them locally:

make run-scylla
make run-examples

Performance

GocqlX performance is comparable to the raw gocql driver. Below benchmark results running on my laptop.
