dgw

Description

dgw generates Golang struct, and simple Table/Row Data Gateway functions from PostgreSQL table metadata. Heavily inspired by xo.

Why created

Personally, I prefer Table/Row Data Gateway over ORM/Query Builder approach when using Go with RDBMS. However, it is very time consuming, tedious, and error-prone to write a lot of columns, query place holders, and struct fields that all have to be exactly in order even for a simple select/insert statement. dgw generate Go struct, and simple functions to get/create row from PostgreSQL table definitions to avoid manually writing simple but tedious SQL.

• dgw can properly detect autogenerated column (e.g. serial, bigserial), and composit primary key to create appropriate SQL.
• dgw has ability to easily customize PostgreSQL column type <-> Go type mapping using toml config file.

Installation

go get -u github.com/achiku/dgw

How to use

usage: dgw [<flags>] <conn>

Flags:
      --help                 Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
  -s, --schema="public"      PostgreSQL schema name
  -p, --package="main"       package name
  -t, --typemap=TYPEMAP      column type and go type map file path
  -x, --exclude=EXCLUDE ...  table names to exclude
      --template=TEMPLATE    custom template path
  -o, --output=OUTPUT        output file path
      --no-interface         output without Queryer interface

Args:
  <conn>  PostgreSQL connection string in URL format

dgw postgres://dbuser@localhost/dbname?sslmode=disable 

Example

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  id bigserial primary key
  , i integer not null unique
  , str text not null
  , num_float numeric not null
  , nullable_str text
  , t_with_tz timestamp without time zone not null
  , t_without_tz timestamp with time zone not null
  , nullable_tz timestamp with time zone
  , json_data json not null
  , xml_data xml not null
);

CREATE TABLE t2 (
  id bigserial not null
  , i integer not null
  , str text not null
  , t_with_tz timestamp without time zone not null
  , t_without_tz timestamp with time zone not null
  , PRIMARY KEY(id, i)
);

CREATE TABLE t3 (
  id integer not null
  , i integer not null
  , PRIMARY KEY(id, i)
);
