Using MySQL

The vapor/mysql package is a lightweight, async pure swift MySQL/MariaDB driver. It provides an intuitive Swift interface for working with MySQL that can be used with any Swift project.

On top of vapor/mysql, we have built vapor/fluent-sqlite which allows SQLite databases to be used with Fluent.

With Fluent

MySQL works well Fluent, you just need to make sure to add the vapor/fluent-mysql package to your project.

To do this, add the Fluent MySQL 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-mysql.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.0.0")),
    ],
    targets: [
      .target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["FluentMySQL", ... ])
    ]
)

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

Use import FluentMySQL to access MySQL's Fluent compatible APIs. Learn more about the Fluent APIs here
