If you're just -- starting a new project and would like to use @esqueleto@, take -- a look at @persistent@'s book first -- () to learn how to -- define your schema. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- $introduction -- -- The main goals of @esqueleto@ are to: -- -- * Be easily translatable to SQL. When you take a look at a -- @esqueleto@ query, you should be able to know exactly how -- the SQL query will end up. (As opposed to being a -- relational algebra EDSL such as HaskellDB, which is -- non-trivial to translate into SQL.) -- -- * Support the most widely used SQL features. We'd like you to be -- able to use @esqueleto@ for all of your queries, no -- exceptions. Send a pull request or open an issue on our -- project page () if -- there's anything missing that you'd like to see. -- -- * Be as type-safe as possible. We strive to provide as many -- type checks as possible. If you get bitten by some invalid -- code that type-checks, please open an issue on our project -- page so we can take a look. -- -- However, it is /not/ a goal to be able to write portable SQL. -- We do not try to hide the differences between DBMSs from you, -- and @esqueleto@ code that works for one database may not work -- on another. This is a compromise we have to make in order to -- give you as much control over the raw SQL as possible without -- losing too much convenience. This also means that you may -- type-check a query that doesn't work on your DBMS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- $gettingstarted -- -- We like clean, easy-to-read EDSLs. However, in order to -- achieve this goal we've used a lot of type hackery, leading to -- some hard-to-read type signatures. On this section, we'll try -- to build some intuition about the syntax. -- -- For the following examples, we'll use this example schema: -- -- @ -- share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate \"migrateAll\"] [persist| -- Person -- name String -- age Int Maybe -- deriving Eq Show -- BlogPost -- title String -- authorId PersonId -- deriving Eq Show -- Follow -- follower PersonId -- followed PersonId -- deriving Eq Show -- |] -- @ -- -- Most of @esqueleto@ was created with @SELECT@ statements in -- mind, not only because they're the most common but also -- because they're the most complex kind of statement. The most -- simple kind of @SELECT@ would be: -- -- @ -- SELECT * -- FROM Person -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- do people <- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\person -> do -- return person -- liftIO $ mapM_ (putStrLn . personName . entityVal) people -- @ -- -- The expression above has type @SqlPersist m ()@, while -- @people@ has type @[Entity Person]@. The query above will be -- translated into exactly the same query we wrote manually, but -- instead of @SELECT *@ it will list all entity fields (using -- @*@ is not robust). Note that @esqueleto@ knows that we want -- an @Entity Person@ just because of the @personName@ that we're -- printing later. -- -- However, most of the time we need to filter our queries using -- @WHERE@. For example: -- -- @ -- SELECT * -- FROM Person -- WHERE Person.name = \"John\" -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\p -> do -- 'where_' (p '^.' PersonName '==.' 'val' \"John\") -- return p -- @ -- -- Although @esqueleto@'s code is a bit more noisy, it's has -- almost the same structure (save from the @return@). The -- @('^.')@ operator is used to project a field from an entity. -- The field name is the same one generated by @persistent@'s -- Template Haskell functions. We use 'val' to lift a constant -- Haskell value into the SQL query. -- -- Another example would be: -- -- @ -- SELECT * -- FROM Person -- WHERE Person.age >= 18 -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\p -> do -- 'where_' (p '^.' PersonAge '>=.' 'just' ('val' 18)) -- return p -- @ -- -- Since @age@ is an optional @Person@ field, we use 'just' to lift -- @'val' 18 :: SqlExpr (Value Int)@ into @just ('val' 18) :: -- SqlExpr (Value (Maybe Int))@. -- -- Implicit joins are represented by tuples. For example, to get -- the list of all blog posts and their authors, we could write: -- -- @ -- SELECT BlogPost.*, Person.* -- FROM BlogPost, Person -- WHERE BlogPost.authorId = Person.id -- ORDER BY BlogPost.title ASC -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\(b, p) -> do -- 'where_' (b '^.' BlogPostAuthorId '==.' p '^.' PersonId) -- 'orderBy' ['asc' (b '^.' BlogPostTitle)] -- return (b, p) -- @ -- -- However, you may want your results to include people who don't -- have any blog posts as well using a @LEFT OUTER JOIN@: -- -- @ -- SELECT Person.*, BlogPost.* -- FROM Person LEFT OUTER JOIN BlogPost -- ON Person.id = BlogPost.authorId -- ORDER BY Person.name ASC, BlogPost.title ASC -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\(p `'LeftOuterJoin`` mb) -> do -- 'on' ('just' (p '^.' PersonId) '==.' mb '?.' BlogPostAuthorId) -- 'orderBy' ['asc' (p '^.' PersonName), 'asc' (mb '?.' BlogPostTitle)] -- return (p, mb) -- @ -- -- On a @LEFT OUTER JOIN@ the entity on the right hand side may -- not exist (i.e. there may be a @Person@ without any -- @BlogPost@s), so while @p :: SqlExpr (Entity Person)@, we have -- @mb :: SqlExpr (Maybe (Entity BlogPost))@. The whole -- expression above has type @SqlPersist m [(Entity Person, Maybe -- (Entity BlogPost))]@. Instead of using @(^.)@, we used -- @('?.')@ to project a field from a @Maybe (Entity a)@. -- -- We are by no means limited to joins of two tables, nor by -- joins of different tables. For example, we may want a list -- of the @Follow@ entity: -- -- @ -- SELECT P1.*, Follow.*, P2.* -- FROM Person AS P1 -- INNER JOIN Follow ON P1.id = Follow.follower -- INNER JOIN P2 ON P2.id = Follow.followed -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'select' $ -- 'from' $ \\(p1 `'InnerJoin`` f `'InnerJoin`` p2) -> do -- 'on' (p2 '^.' PersonId '==.' f '^.' FollowFollowed) -- 'on' (p1 '^.' PersonId '==.' f '^.' FollowFollower) -- return (p1, f, p2) -- @ -- -- /Note carefully that the order of the ON clauses is/ -- /reversed!/ You're required to write your 'on's in reverse -- order because that helps composability (see the documentation -- of 'on' for more details). -- -- We also currently support @UPDATE@ and @DELETE@ statements. -- For example: -- -- @ -- do 'update' $ \\p -> do -- 'set' p [ PersonName '=.' 'val' \"João\" ] -- 'where_' (p '^.' PersonName '==.' 'val' \"Joao\") -- 'delete' $ -- 'from' $ \\p -> do -- 'where_' (p '^.' PersonAge '<.' 'just' ('val' 14)) -- @ -- -- The results of queries can also be used for insertions. -- In @SQL@, we might write the following, inserting a new blog -- post for every user: -- -- @ -- INSERT INTO BlogPost -- SELECT ('Group Blog Post', id) -- FROM Person -- @ -- -- In @esqueleto@, we may write the same query above as: -- -- @ -- 'insertSelect' $ 'from' $ \\p-> -- return $ BlogPost '<#' \"Group Blog Post\" '<&>' (p '^.' PersonId) -- @ -- -- Individual insertions can be performed through Persistent's -- 'insert' function, reexported for convenience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- $reexports -- -- We re-export many symbols from @persistent@ for convenince: -- -- * \"Store functions\" from "Database.Persist". -- -- * Everything from "Database.Persist.Class" except for -- @PersistQuery@ and @delete@ (use 'deleteKey' instead). -- -- * Everything from "Database.Persist.Types" except for -- @Update@, @SelectOpt@, @BackendSpecificFilter@ and @Filter@. -- -- * Everything from "Database.Persist.Sql" except for -- @deleteWhereCount@ and @updateWhereCount@. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- $rdbmsSpecificModules -- -- There are many differences between SQL syntax and functions -- supported by different RDBMSs.
