PersistStore

class (Show (BackendKey backend), Read (BackendKey backend), Eq (BackendKey backend), Ord (BackendKey backend), PersistField (BackendKey backend), ToJSON (BackendKey backend), FromJSON (BackendKey backend)) => PersistStore backend where

Associated Types

data BackendKey backend

Methods

get :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe val)

Get a record by identifier, if available.

insert :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Key val)

Create a new record in the database, returning an automatically created key (in SQL an auto-increment id).

insert_ :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Same as insert, but doesn't return a Key.

insertMany :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => [val] -> ReaderT backend m [Key val]

Create multiple records in the database.

If you don't need the inserted Keys, use insertMany_

SQL backends currently use the slow default implementation of mapM insert

insertMany_ :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => [val] -> ReaderT backend m ()

Same as insertMany, but doesn't return any Keys.

SQL backends currently use an efficient implementation for this unlike insertMany.

insertKey :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Create a new record in the database using the given key.

repsert :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Put the record in the database with the given key. Unlike replace, if a record with the given key does not exist then a new record will be inserted.

replace :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Replace the record in the database with the given key. Note that the result is undefined if such record does not exist, so you must use 'insertKey or repsert in these cases.

delete :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Delete a specific record by identifier. Does nothing if record does not exist.

update :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val) => Key val -> [Update val] -> ReaderT backend m ()

Update individual fields on a specific record.

updateGet :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val) => Key val -> [Update val] -> ReaderT backend m val

Update individual fields on a specific record, and retrieve the updated value from the database.

Note that this function will throw an exception if the given key is not found in the database.

Instances

PersistStore Connection

getJust :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity val, Show (Key val), backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, MonadIO m) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m val

Same as get, but for a non-null (not Maybe) foreign key Unsafe unless your database is enforcing that the foreign key is valid

belongsTo :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity ent1, PersistEntity ent2, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend ent2, MonadIO m) => (ent1 -> Maybe (Key ent2)) -> ent1 -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe ent2)

curry this to make a convenience function that loads an associated model

 foreign = belongsTo foerignId

belongsToJust :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity ent1, PersistEntity ent2, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend ent2, MonadIO m) => (ent1 -> Key ent2) -> ent1 -> ReaderT backend m ent2

same as belongsTo, but uses getJust and therefore is similarly unsafe

PersistUnique

class PersistStore backend => PersistUnique backend where

Queries against unique keys (other than the id).

Please read the general Persistent documentation to learn how to create Unique keys. SQL backends automatically create uniqueness constraints, but for MongoDB you must manually place a unique index on the field.

Some functions in this module (insertUnique, insertBy, and replaceUnique) first query the unique indexes to check for conflicts. You could instead optimistically attempt to perform the operation (e.g. replace instead of replaceUnique). However,

• there is some fragility to trying to catch the correct exception and determing the column of failure.
• an exception will automatically abort the current SQL transaction

Methods

getBy :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Unique val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity val))

Get a record by unique key, if available. Returns also the identifier.

deleteBy :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val) => Unique val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Delete a specific record by unique key. Does nothing if no record matches.

insertUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Key val))

Like insert, but returns Nothing when the record couldn't be inserted because of a uniqueness constraint.

upsert

Arguments

:: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val)

=> val

new record to insert

-> [Update val]

updates to perform if the record already exists. leaving this empty is the equivalent of performing a repsert on a unique key.

-> ReaderT backend m (Entity val)

the record in the database after the operation

update based on a uniquness constraint or insert

insert the new record if it does not exist update the existing record that matches the uniqueness contraint

Throws an exception if there is more than 1 uniqueness contraint

Instances

PersistUnique Connection

getByValue :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity value, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend value ~ backend) => value -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity value))

A modification of getBy, which takes the PersistEntity itself instead of a Unique value. Returns a value matching one of the unique keys. This function makes the most sense on entities with a single Unique constructor.

insertBy :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Either (Entity val) (Key val))

Insert a value, checking for conflicts with any unique constraints. If a duplicate exists in the database, it is returned as Left. Otherwise, the new 'Key is returned as Right.

replaceUnique :: (MonadIO m, Eq record, Eq (Unique record), PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistEntity record, PersistUnique backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record))

Attempt to replace the record of the given key with the given new record. First query the unique fields to make sure the replacement maintains uniqueness constraints. Return Nothing if the replacement was made. If uniqueness is violated, return a Just with the Unique violation

Since 1.2.2.0

checkUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistEntity record, PersistUnique backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record))

Check whether there are any conflicts for unique keys with this entity and existing entities in the database.

Returns Nothing if the entity would be unique, and could thus safely be inserted. on a conflict returns the conflicting key

onlyUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Unique val)

Return the single unique key for a record

PersistEntity

class (PersistField (Key record), ToJSON (Key record), FromJSON (Key record), Show (Key record), Read (Key record), Eq (Key record), Ord (Key record)) => PersistEntity record where

Persistent serialized Haskell records to the database. A Database Entity (A row in SQL, a document in MongoDB, etc) corresponds to a Key plus a Haskell record.

For every Haskell record type stored in the database there is a corresponding PersistEntity instance. An instance of PersistEntity contains meta-data for the record. PersistEntity also helps abstract over different record types. That way the same query interface can return a PersistEntity, with each query returning different types of Haskell records.

Some advanced type system capabilities are used to make this process type-safe. Persistent users usually don't need to understand the class associated data and functions.

Associated Types
