Dmitry Kropachev 38001d64ac Update gocql version to v1.16.1 (#353)
* Update gocql version to v1.16.1

1. Update gocql to v1.16.1
2. Update golang to 1.25, since new gocql version requres it

* Update golangci to 2.5.0

It is needed since 1.64.8 does not support golang 1.25.
1. Update golangci to 2.5.0
2. Migrate from golangci config v1 to v2
3. Integrate fieldaligment to golangci
4. Drop fieldaligment from Makefile
5. Address complaints

# 🚀 GocqlX [![GoDoc](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/scylladb/gocqlx)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/scylladb/gocqlx) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/scylladb/gocqlx.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/scylladb/gocqlx)
GocqlX makes working with Scylla easy and less error-prone.
Its inspired by [Sqlx](https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx), a tool for working with SQL databases, but it goes beyond what Sqlx provides.
## Compatibility
Versions of GocqlX prior to v3.0.0 are compatible with both [Apache Cassandras gocql](https://github.com/apache/cassandra-gocql-driver) and [ScyllaDBs fork](https://github.com/scylladb/gocql).
However, starting with v3.0.0, GocqlX exclusively supports the scylladb/gocql driver.
If you are using GocqlX v3.0.0 or newer, you must ensure your `go.mod` includes a replace directive to point to ScyllaDBs fork:
```go
// Use the latest version of scylladb/gocql; check for updates at https://github.com/scylladb/gocql/releases
replace github.com/gocql/gocql => github.com/scylladb/gocql v1.16.0
```
This is required because GocqlX relies on ScyllaDB-specific extensions and bug fixes introduced in the gocql fork. Attempting to use the standard gocql driver with GocqlX v3.0.0+ may lead to build or runtime issues.
## Features
* Binding query parameters from struct fields, map, or both
* Scanning query results into structs based on field names
* Convenient functions for common tasks such as loading a single row into a struct or all rows into a slice (list) of structs
* Making any struct a UDT without implementing marshalling functions
* GocqlX is fast. Its performance is comparable to raw driver. You can find some benchmarks [here](#performance).
Subpackages provide additional functionality:
* CQL query builder ([package qb](https://github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/blob/master/qb))
* CRUD operations based on table model ([package table](https://github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/blob/master/table))
* Database migrations ([package migrate](https://github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/blob/master/migrate))
## Installation GocqlX
Add GocqlX to your Go module:
```bash
go get github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3
```
## Installation schemagen
Unfortunately you can't install it via `go install`, since `go.mod` contains `replace` directive.
So, you have to check it out and install manually:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:scylladb/gocqlx.git
cd gocqlx/cmd/schemagen/
go install .
```
## Getting started
First, import the required packages:
```go
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/gocql/gocql"
"github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3"
"github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3/qb"
"github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3/table"
)
```
Wrap gocql Session:
```go
// Create gocql cluster.
cluster := gocql.NewCluster(hosts...)
// Wrap session on creation, gocqlx session embeds gocql.Session pointer.
session, err := gocqlx.WrapSession(cluster.CreateSession())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session.Close()
```
Specify table model:
```go
// metadata specifies table name and columns it must be in sync with schema.
var personMetadata = table.Metadata{
Name: "person",
Columns: []string{"first_name", "last_name", "email"},
PartKey: []string{"first_name"},
SortKey: []string{"last_name"},
}
// personTable allows for simple CRUD operations based on personMetadata.
var personTable = table.New(personMetadata)
// Person represents a row in person table.
// Field names are converted to snake case by default, no need to add special tags.
// A field will not be persisted by adding the `db:"-"` tag or making it unexported.
type Person struct {
FirstName string
LastName string
Email []string
HairColor string `db:"-"` // exported and skipped
eyeColor string // unexported also skipped
}
```
Bind data from a struct and insert a row:
```go
p := Person{
"Michał",
"Matczuk",
[]string{"michal@scylladb.com"},
"red", // not persisted
"hazel" // not persisted
}
q := session.Query(personTable.Insert()).BindStruct(p)
if err := q.ExecRelease(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
```
Load a single row to a struct:
```go
p := Person{
"Michał",
"Matczuk",
nil, // no email
}
q := session.Query(personTable.Get()).BindStruct(p)
if err := q.GetRelease(&p); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(p)
// stdout: {Michał Matczuk [michal@scylladb.com]}
```
Load all rows in to a slice:
```go
var people []Person
q := session.Query(personTable.Select()).BindMap(qb.M{"first_name": "Michał"})
if err := q.SelectRelease(&people); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(people)
// stdout: [{Michał Matczuk [michal@scylladb.com]}]
```
## Generating table metadata with schemagen
Installation
```bash
go get -u "github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3/cmd/schemagen"
```
Usage:
```bash
schemagen [flags]
Flags:
-cluster string
a comma-separated list of host:port tuples (default "127.0.0.1")
-keyspace string
keyspace to inspect (required)
-output string
the name of the folder to output to (default "models")
-pkgname string
the name you wish to assign to your generated package (default "models")
```
Example:
Running the following command for `examples` keyspace:
```bash
schemagen -cluster="127.0.0.1:9042" -keyspace="examples" -output="models" -pkgname="models"
```
Generates `models/models.go` as follows:
```go
// Code generated by "gocqlx/cmd/schemagen"; DO NOT EDIT.
package models
import "github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/v3/table"
// Table models.
var (
Playlists = table.New(table.Metadata{
Name: "playlists",
Columns: []string{
"album",
"artist",
"id",
"song_id",
"title",
},
PartKey: []string{
"id",
},
SortKey: []string{
"title",
"album",
"artist",
},
})
Songs = table.New(table.Metadata{
Name: "songs",
Columns: []string{
"album",
"artist",
"data",
"id",
"tags",
"title",
},
PartKey: []string{
"id",
},
SortKey: []string{},
})
)
```
## Examples
You can find lots of examples in [example_test.go](https://github.com/scylladb/gocqlx/blob/master/example_test.go).
Go and run them locally:
```bash
make run-scylla
make run-examples
```
## Training
The course [Using Scylla Drivers](https://university.scylladb.com/courses/using-scylla-drivers) in Scylla University explains how to use drivers in different languages to interact with a Scylla cluster. The lesson, [Golang and Scylla Part 3 - GoCQLX](https://university.scylladb.com/courses/using-scylla-drivers/lessons/golang-and-scylla-part-3-gocqlx/), goes over a sample application that, using GoCQLX, interacts with a three-node Scylla cluster. It connects to a Scylla cluster, displays the contents of a table, inserts and deletes data, and shows the contents of the table after each action. [Scylla University](https://university.scylladb.com/) includes other training material and online courses which will help you become a Scylla NoSQL database expert.
## Performance
GocqlX performance is comparable to the raw `gocql` driver.
Below benchmark results running on my laptop.
