Adding Fluent to your Project

Fluent (vapor/fluent) is a type-safe, fast, and easy-to-use ORM built for Swift. It takes advantage of Swift's strong type system to provide an elegant API for your database.

Database

In addition to adding Fluent to your project, you must also add a Fluent compatible database. Fluent does not include any databases by default. All official databases have a getting started guide similar to this one.

database	library	driver	guide
PostgreSQL	vapor/postgres	vapor/fluent-postgres	PostgreSQL → Package
MySQL	vapor/mysql	vapor/fluent-mysql	MySQL → Package
SQLite	vapor/sqlite	vapor/fluent-sqlite	SQLite → Package
MongoDB	mongokitten/mongokitten	vapor/fluent-mongokitten	README.md

!!! tip Any database can be made to work with Fluent by conforming to its Database protocol. For a list of all compatible database types, search GitHub for the fluent-driver topic.

Fluent

After you have added your database driver, simply add the Fluent package to your Package manifest.

// swift-tools-version:4.0
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "Project",
    dependencies: [
        ...
        .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/fluent.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.0.0")),
    ],
    targets: [
      .target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["Fluent", ... ])
    ]
)

If this is your first time adding a dependency, you should read our introduction to Package.swift.

!!! note Use import Fluent to access Fluent's APIs.

Once you have Fluent added to your project, you are ready to configure your database(s).
