GoCQLX

Package gocqlx is an idiomatic extension to gocql that provides usability features. With gocqlx you can bind the query parameters from maps and structs, use named query parameters (:identifier) and scan the query results into structs and slices. It comes with a fluent and flexible CQL query builder that supports full CQL spec, including BATCH statements and custom functions.

Installation

go get -u github.com/scylladb/gocqlx

Features

• Binding query parameters form struct or map
• Scanning results directly into struct or slice
• Fast!

In addition to that:

Package qb provides query builders for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE DELETE and BATCH statements supporting full spec including literals, functions, collections and counters.

Package migrate provides a simple database migration system.

Example

type Person struct {
    FirstName string  // no need to add `db:"first_name"` etc.
    LastName  string
    Email     []string
}

// Bind query parameters from a struct.
{
    p := Person{
        "Patricia",
        "Citizen",
        []string{"patricia.citzen@gocqlx_test.com"},
    }

    stmt, names := qb.Insert("gocqlx_test.person").
        Columns("first_name", "last_name", "email").
        ToCql()

    err := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindStruct(&p).ExecRelease()
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatal(err)
    }
}

// Load the first result into a struct.
{
    stmt, names := qb.Select("gocqlx_test.person").
        Where(qb.Eq("first_name")).
        ToCql()

    var p Person

    q := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindMap(qb.M{
        "first_name": "Patricia",
    })
    if err := q.GetRelease(&p); err != nil {
        t.Fatal(err)
    }
}

// Load all the results into a slice.
{
    stmt, names := qb.Select("gocqlx_test.person").
        Where(qb.In("first_name")).
        ToCql()

    var people []Person

    q := gocqlx.Query(session.Query(stmt), names).BindMap(qb.M{
        "first_name": []string{"Patricia", "Igy", "Ian"},
    })
    if err := q.SelectRelease(&people); err != nil {
        t.Fatal(err)
    }
}

Performance

Gocqlx is fast, this is a benchmark result comparing gocqlx to raw gocql on a local machine. For query binding (insert) gocqlx is faster then gocql thanks to smart caching, otherwise the performance is comparable.
