Scan

GoDoc Travis Coveralls github Report Card Dependabot Status

Scan provides the ability to use database/sql/rows to scan datasets directly to structs or slices. For the most comprehensive and up-to-date docs see the godoc

Examples

Multiple Rows
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "database.sqlite")
rows, _ := db.Query("SELECT * FROM persons")

var persons []Person
err := scan.Rows(&persons, rows)

fmt.Printf("%#v", persons)
// []Person{
//    {ID: 1, Name: "brett"},
//    {ID: 2, Name: "fred"},
//    {ID: 3, Name: "stacy"},
// }
Multiple rows of primitive type
rows, _ := db.Query("SELECT name FROM persons")
var names []string
err := scan.Rows(&names, rows)

fmt.Printf("%#v", names)
// []string{
//    "brett",
//    "fred",
//    "stacy",
// }
Single row
rows, _ := db.Query("SELECT * FROM persons where name = 'brett' LIMIT 1")
var person Person
err := scan.Row(&person, rows)

fmt.Printf("%#v", person)
// Person{ ID: 1, Name: "brett" }
Scalar value
rows, _ := db.Query("SELECT age FROM persons where name = 'brett' LIMIT 1")
var age int8
err := scan.Row(&age, row)

fmt.Printf("%d", age)
// 100
Strict Scanning

Both Rows and Row have strict alternatives to allow scanning to structs strictly based on their db tag. To avoid unwanted behavior you can use RowsStrict or RowStrict to scan without using field names. Any fields not tagged with the db tag will be ignored even if columns are found that match the field names.

Columns

Columns scans a struct and returns a string slice of the assumed column names based on the db tag or the struct field name respectively. To avoid assumptions, use ColumnsStrict which will only return the fields tagged with the db tag. Both Columns and ColumnsStrict are variadic. They both accept a string slice of column names to exclude from the list. It is recommended that you cache this slice.

package main

type User struct {
        ID        int64
        Name      string
        Age       int
        BirthDate string `db:"bday"`
        Zipcode   string `db:"-"`
        Store     struct {
                ID int
                // ...
        }
}

var nobody = new(User)
var userInsertCols = scan.Columns(nobody, "ID")
// []string{ "Name", "Age", "bday" }

var userSelectCols = scan.Columns(nobody)
// []string{ "ID", "Name", "Age", "bday" }
Values

Values scans a struct and returns the values associated with the provided columns. Values uses a sync.Map to cache fields of structs to greatly improve the performance of scanning types. The first time a struct is scanned it's exported fields locations are cached. When later retrieving values from the same struct it should be much faster. See Benchmarks below.

user := &User{
        ID: 1,
        Name: "Brett",
        Age: 100,
}

vals := scan.Values([]string{"ID", "Name"}, user)
// []interface{}{ 1, "Brett" }

I find that the usefulness of both Values and Columns lies within using a library such as sq.

sq.Insert(userCols...).
        Into("users").
        Values(scan.Values(userCols, &user)...)

Configuration

AutoClose: Automatically call rows.Close() after scan completes (default true)

Why

While many other projects support similar features (i.e. sqlx) scan allows you to use any database lib such as the stdlib or squirrel to write fluent SQL statements and pass the resulting rows to scan for scanning.

Functions

func Columns added in v1.1.0 

func Columns(v interface{}, excluded ...string) ([]string, error)

Columns scans a struct and returns a list of strings that represent the assumed column names based on the db struct tag, or the field name. Any field or struct tag that matches a string within the excluded list will be excluded from the result

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/blockloop/scan"
)

func main() {
	var person struct {
		ID   int `db:"person_id"`
		Name string
	}

	cols, _ := scan.Columns(&person)
	fmt.Printf("%+v", cols)
}

Output:

[person_id Name]
Example (Exclude) 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/blockloop/scan"
)

func main() {
	var person struct {
		ID   int    `db:"id"`
		Name string `db:"name"`
		Age  string `db:"-"`
	}

	cols, _ := scan.Columns(&person)
	fmt.Printf("%+v", cols)
}

Output:

[id name]

func ColumnsStrict added in v1.1.0 

func ColumnsStrict(v interface{}, excluded ...string) ([]string, error)

ColumnsStrict is identical to Columns, but it only searches struct tags and excludes fields not tagged with the db struct tag

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/blockloop/scan"
)

func main() {
	var person struct {
		ID   int `db:"id"`
		Name string
		Age  string `db:"age"`
	}

	cols, _ := scan.ColumnsStrict(&person)
	fmt.Printf("%+v", cols)
}

Output:

[id age]

func Row 

func Row(v interface{}, r RowsScanner) error

Row scans a single row into a single variable. It requires that you use db.Query and not db.QueryRow, because QueryRow does not return column names. There is no performance impact in using one over the other. QueryRow only defers returning err until Scan is called, which is an unnecessary optimization for this library.

Example 
package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"encoding/json"
	"os"
	"testing"

	"github.com/blockloop/scan"
	_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
	"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)

func mustDB(t testing.TB, schema string) *sql.DB {
	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:")
	require.NoError(t, err)

	_, err = db.Exec(schema)
	require.NoError(t, err)
	return db
}

func exampleDB() *sql.DB {
	return mustDB(&testing.T{}, `CREATE TABLE persons (
		id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
		name VARCHAR(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
	);
	INSERT INTO PERSONS (name)
	VALUES ('brett'), ('fred');`)
}

func main() {
	db := exampleDB()
	rows, err := db.Query("SELECT id,name FROM persons LIMIT 1")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var person struct {
		ID   int    `db:"id"`
		Name string `db:"name"`
	}

	err = scan.Row(&person, rows)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout).Encode(&person)
}

Output:

{"ID":1,"Name":"brett"}
Example (Scalar) 
package main

import (
	"database/sql"
	"fmt"
	"testing"

	"github.com/blockloop/scan"
	_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
	"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)

func mustDB(t testing.TB, schema string) *sql.DB {
	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:")
	require.NoError(t, err)

	_, err = db.Exec(schema)
	require.NoError(t, err)
	return db
}

func exampleDB() *sql.DB {
	return mustDB(&testing.T{}, `CREATE TABLE persons (
		id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
		name VARCHAR(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
	);
	INSERT INTO PERSONS (name)
	VALUES ('brett'), ('fred');`)
}

func main() {
	db := exampleDB()
	rows, err := db.Query("SELECT name FROM persons LIMIT 1")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var name string

	err = scan.Row(&name, rows)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%q", name)
}

Output:

"brett"

func RowStrict added in v1.3.0

)

func mustDB(t testing.TB, schema string) *sql.DB {
	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:")
	require.NoError(t, err)

	_, err = db.Exec(schema)
	require.NoError(t, err)
	return db
}

func exampleDB() *sql.DB {
	return mustDB(&testing.T{}, `CREATE TABLE persons (
		id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
		name VARCHAR(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
	);
	INSERT INTO PERSONS (name)
	VALUES ('brett'), ('fred');`)
}

func main() {
	db := exampleDB()
	rows, err := db.Query("SELECT id,name FROM persons LIMIT 1")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var person struct {
		ID   int
		Name string `db:"name"`
	}

	err = scan.RowStrict(&person, rows)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout).Encode(&person)
}

Output:

{"ID":0,"Name":"brett"}

	_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
	"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)

func mustDB(t testing.TB, schema string) *sql.DB {
	db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", ":memory:")
	require.NoError(t, err)

	}

	err = scan.Rows(&persons, rows)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
