# PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL ([vapor/postgresql](https://github.com/vapor/postgresql)) is a pure Swift PostgreSQL client built on top of [SwiftNIO](https://github.com/apple/swift-nio.git).
|
|
|
|
The higher-level, Fluent ORM guide is located at [Fluent → Getting Started](../fluent/getting-started.md). Using just the PostgreSQL package directly for your project may be a good idea if any of the following are true:
|
|
|
|
- You have an existing DB with non-standard structure.
|
|
- You rely heavily on custom or complex SQL queries.
|
|
- You just plain don't like ORMs.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL core extends [DatabaseKit](../database-kit/getting-started.md) which provides some conveniences like connection pooling and integrations with Vapor's [Services](../getting-started/services.md) architecture.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Even if you do choose to use [Fluent PostgreSQL](../fluent/getting-started.md), all of the features of PostgreSQL core will be available to you.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Let's take a look at how you can get started using PostgreSQL core.
|
|
|
|
### Package
|
|
|
|
The first step to using PostgreSQL core is adding it as a dependency to your project in your SPM package manifest file.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
// swift-tools-version:4.0
|
|
import PackageDescription
|
|
|
|
let package = Package(
|
|
name: "MyApp",
|
|
dependencies: [
|
|
/// Any other dependencies ...
|
|
|
|
// 🐘 Non-blocking, event-driven Swift client for PostgreSQL.
|
|
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/postgresql.git", from: "1.0.0"),
|
|
],
|
|
targets: [
|
|
.target(name: "App", dependencies: ["PostgreSQL", ...]),
|
|
.target(name: "Run", dependencies: ["App"]),
|
|
.testTarget(name: "AppTests", dependencies: ["App"]),
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to add the module as a dependency in the `targets` array. Once you have added the dependency, regenerate your Xcode project with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
vapor xcode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Config
|
|
|
|
The next step is to configure the database in [`configure.swift`](../getting-started/structure.md#configureswift).
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
import PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
/// Register providers first
|
|
try services.register(PostgreSQLProvider())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Registering the provider will add all of the services required for PostgreSQL to work properly. It also includes a default database config struct that uses standard credentials.
|
|
|
|
#### Customizing Config
|
|
|
|
You can of course override the default configuration provided by `PostgreSQLProvider` if you'd like.
|
|
|
|
To configure your database manually, register a [`DatabasesConfig`](https://api.vapor.codes/database-kit/latest/DatabaseKit/Structs/DatabasesConfig.html) struct to your services.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
// Configure a PostgreSQL database
|
|
let postgresql = try PostgreSQLDatabase(config: PostgreSQLDatabaseConfig(...))
|
|
|
|
/// Register the configured PostgreSQL database to the database config.
|
|
var databases = DatabasesConfig()
|
|
databases.add(database: postgresql, as: .psql)
|
|
services.register(databases)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [`PostgreSQLDatabase`](https://api.vapor.codes/postgresql/latest/PostgreSQL/Classes/PostgreSQLDatabase.html) and [`PostgreSQLDatabaseConfig`](https://api.vapor.codes/postgresql/latest/PostgreSQL/Structs/PostgreSQLDatabaseConfig.html) for more information.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL's default database identifier is `.psql`. You can create a custom identifier if you want by extending [`DatabaseIdentifier`](https://api.vapor.codes/database-kit/latest/DatabaseKit/Structs/DatabaseIdentifier.html).
|
|
|
|
### Query
|
|
|
|
Now that the database is configured, you can make your first query.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
struct PostgreSQLVersion: Codable {
|
|
let version: String
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
router.get("sql") { req in
|
|
return req.withPooledConnection(to: .psql) { conn in
|
|
return conn.raw("SELECT version()")
|
|
.all(decoding: PostgreSQLVersion.self)
|
|
}.map { rows in
|
|
return rows[0].version
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Visiting this route should display your PostgreSQL version.
