stepanhruda/PostgreSQL-Swift

Connect to your PostgreSQL database. Run queries. All natively in Swift.

Installation

Install via swift-package-manager by adding a depdendency to your Package.swift.

.Package(url: "https://github.com/stepanhruda/PostgreSQL-Swift.git", majorVersion: 0)

Usage

Connection

let parameters = ConnectionParameters(
  host: "123.123.123.123",
  port: "9000",
  databaseName: "banana_pantry",
  login: "mehungry",
  password: "reallyhungrygotnopatience"
)
let connection = try Database.connect(parameters: parameters)

Environment variables

Your database configuration should not be in your application's source. Connecting to the database becomes as easy as:

let connection = try Database.connect()

Configuration is automatically loaded from default PostgreSQL environment variables.

export PGHOST 123.123.123.123
export PGPORT 9000
export PGDATABASE banana_pantry
export PGUSER mehungry
export PGPASSWORD reallyhungrygotnopatience

Queries and results

let result = try connection.execute("SELECT color, is_tasty, length FROM bananas")
for row in result.rows {
  let color = row["color"] as! String
  let isTasty = row["is_tasty"] as! Bool
  let length = row["length"] as! Int
  let banana = Banana(color: color, isTasty: isTasty, length: length)
}

Development on OS X

1. Install dependencies

• Xcode 7+ (Swift 2.x)
• brew cask install dockertoolbox

1. make development.setup

• Starts a PostgreSQL container that tests can be run against. Before running make sure your docker-machine environment variables are available (usually you run eval $(docker-machine env default))
• development.setup also adds handy opinionated environment variables to your Xcode scheme that connect to the container. If you are using a custom setup rather than what docker-machine gives you out of the box, you might need to tweak them. Also, please don't commit any changes to the .xcscheme file.

1. make test to run tests or run them through Xcode
