gocqlx

GoCQLX

Package gocqlx is a productivity toolkit for ScyllaDB and Apache Cassandra®. It's an extension of gocql, similar to what sqlx is to database/sql.

It contains wrappers over gocql types that provide convenience methods which are useful in the development of database driven applications. Under the hood it uses sqlx/reflectx package so sqlx models will also work with gocqlx.

Installation

go get -u github.com/scylladb/gocqlx

Features

• Builders for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE DELETE and BATCH (supporting collections, counters and functions)
• Queries with named parameters (:identifier) support
• Binding parameters form struct or map
• Scanning results into structs and slices
• Automatic query releasing
• Schema migrations
• Fast!

Example

type Person struct {
    FirstName string  // no need to add `db:"first_name"` etc.
    LastName  string
    Email     []string
}

// Insert with query parameters bound from struct.
{
    p := &Person{
        "Patricia",
        "Citizen",
        []string{"patricia.citzen@gocqlx_test.com"},
    }

    stmt, names := qb.Insert("gocqlx_test.person").
        Columns("first_name", "last_name", "email").
        ToCql()

    q := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindStruct(p)

    if err := q.ExecRelease(); err != nil {
        t.Fatal(err)
    }
}

// Get the first result into a struct.
{
    stmt, names := qb.Select("gocqlx_test.person").
        Where(qb.Eq("first_name")).
        ToCql()

    q := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindMap(qb.M{
        "first_name": "Patricia",
    })

    var p Person
    if err := gocqlx.Get(&p, q.Query); err != nil {
        t.Fatal("get:", err)
    }

    t.Log(p)
    // {Patricia Citizen [patricia.citzen@gocqlx_test.com patricia1.citzen@gocqlx_test.com]}
}

// Select, load all the results into a slice.
{
    stmt, names := qb.Select("gocqlx_test.person").
        Where(qb.In("first_name")).
        ToCql()

    q := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindMap(qb.M{
        "first_name": []string{"Patricia", "Igy", "Ian"},
    })

    var people []Person
    if err := gocqlx.Select(&people, q.Query); err != nil {
        t.Fatal("select:", err)
    }

    t.Log(people)
    // [{Patricia Citizen [patricia.citzen@gocqlx_test.com patricia1.citzen@gocqlx_test.com]} {Igy Citizen [igy.citzen@gocqlx_test.com]} {Ian Citizen [ian.citzen@gocqlx_test.com]}]
}

Performance

Gocqlx is fast, this is a benchmark result comparing gocqlx to raw gocql on a local machine. For query binding (insert) gocqlx is faster then gocql thanks to smart caching, otherwise the performance is comparable.
