squel

This library will provide a structured way of writing SQL statements. Which works well in combination with the github.com/jmoiron/sqlx package.

SELECT statement

Using the sqlx package

package main
import (
    "github.com/jeppech/squel"
    "github.com/jmoiron/sqlx"
	// pgsql driver
    _ "github.com/jackc/pgx/v4/stdlib"
)

var db *sqlx.DB

struct sqlData {
    username string
    avatar string
    email string
    name string
}

func main() {
    var err error

	db, err = sqlx.Connect("pgx", "")

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

    username := "jeppech"

    stmt := squel.Table("api.users usr")
    stmt.LeftJoin("api.tickets tck", "tck.user_id = usr.id")
    stmt.Where("usr.username = %s", username)
    stmt.And("usr.role = %s", "admin")
    query_string, query_args := stmt.Select("usr.username, usr.avatar, usr.email, tck.name")
    /**
    query_string:
        SELECT usr.username, usr.avatar, usr.email, tck.name
        FROM api.users usr
        LEFT JOIN api.tickets tck ON tck.user_id = usr.id
        WHERE usr.username = $1
        AND usr.role = $2

    query_args:
        [jeppech admin]
    */

    if err := stmt.Ok(); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    data := make([]*sqlData, 0)

    err = db.Select(&data, query_string, query_args...)
    
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("%+v", data)
}

Insert statement

stmt := squel.Table("api.users")
stmt.Field("username", "jeppech")
stmt.Field("role", "admin")
// NilField are usefull, if the value could be nil.
// i.e if the value originates from an API request, that could have NULL properties
stmt.NilField("firstname", "Jeppe")
stmt.NilField("lastname", "Christiansen")
query_string, query_args := stmt.Insert()

/**
query_string:
    INSERT INTO api.users (username,role,firstname,lastname)
    VALUES ($1,$2,$3,$4)

query_args:
    [jeppech admin Jeppe Christiansen]
*/

Update statement

stmt := squel.Table("api.users")
stmt.Field("email", "[email protected]")
stmt.Field("role", "peasant")
stmt.Where("username = %s", "jeppech")
query_string, query_args := stmt.Update()

/**
query_string:
    UPDATE api.users SET email = $1, role = $2
    WHERE username = $3

query_args:
    [[email protected] peasant jeppech]
*/

Group clause

stmt := Table("api.users")
stmt.WhereGroup(func(s *Statement) {
    s.Or("username = %s", "jeppech")
    s.Or("email = %s", "[email protected]")
})
stmt.And("pswd = %s", "VerySekritPassw0rt")
query_string, query_args := stmt.Select("id")

/**
query_string:
    SELECT id FROM api.users
    WHERE (
        username = $1 OR
        email = $2
    ) AND pswd = $3

query_args:
    [jeppech [email protected] VerySekritPassw0rt]
