Onyx::SQL

A deligtful SQL ORM.

About 👋

Onyx::SQL is a deligthful database-agnostic SQL ORM for Crystal language. It features a convenient schema definition DSL, type-safe SQL query builder, clean architecture with Repository and more!

Installation 📥

Add these lines to your application’s shard.yml:

dependencies:
  onyx:
    github: onyxframework/onyx
    version: ~> 0.6.0
  onyx-sql:
    github: onyxframework/sql
    version: ~> 0.9.0

This shard follows Semantic Versioning v2.0.0, so check releases and change the version accordingly.

Note that until Crystal is officially released, this shard would be in beta state (0.*.*), with every minor release considered breaking. For example, 0.1.0 → 0.2.0 is breaking and 0.1.0 → 0.1.1 is not.

You’d also need to add a database dependency conforming to the crystal-db interface. For example, pg:

dependencies:
  onyx:
    github: onyxframework/onyx
    version: ~> 0.6.0
  onyx-sql:
    github: onyxframework/sql
    version: ~> 0.9.0
+ pg:
+   github: will/crystal-pg
+   version: ~> 0.18.0

Usage 💻

For this PostgreSQL table:

CREATE TABLE users (
  id          SERIAL      PRIMARY KEY,
  name        TEXT        NOT NULL
  created_at  TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL  DEFAULT now()
);

Define the user schema:

require "onyx/sql"
class User
  include Onyx::SQL::Model
  schema users do
    pkey id : Int32
    type name : String, not_null: true
    type created_at : Time, not_null: true, default: true
  end
end

Insert a new user instance:

user = User.new(name: "John")
user = Onyx::SQL.query(user.insert.returning("*")).first
pp user # => #<User @id=1, @name="John", @created_at=#<Time ...>>

Query the user:

user = Onyx::SQL.query(User.where(id: 1)).first?

With another PostgreSQL table:

CREATE TABLE posts (
  id          SERIAL      PRIMARY KEY,
  author_id   INT         NOT NULL  REFERENCES  users(id),
  content     TEXT        NOT NULL
  created_at  TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL  DEFAULT now()
);

Define the post schema:

class Post
  include Onyx::SQL::Model
  schema posts do
    pkey id : Int32
    type author : User, not_null: true, key: "author_id"
    type content : String, not_null: true
    type created_at : Time, not_null: true, default: true
  end
end

Add the posts reference to the user schema:

class User
  include Onyx::SQL::Model
  schema users do
    pkey id : Int32
    type name : String, not_null: true
    type created_at : Time, not_null: true, default: true
+   type authored_posts : Array(Post), foreign_key: "author_id"
  end
end

Create a new post:

user = User.new(id: 1)
post = Post.new(author: user, content: "Hello, world!")
Onyx::SQL.exec(post.insert)

Query all the posts by a user with name “John”:

posts = Onyx::SQL.query(Post
  .join(author: true) do |x|
    x.select(:id, :name)
    x.where(name: "John")
  end
)
posts.first # => #<Post @id=1, @author=#<User @id=1 @name="John">, @content="Hello, world!">
