classclass HasPersistBackend backend where
#

Class which allows the plucking of a BaseBackend backend from some larger type. For example, instance HasPersistBackend (SqlReadBackend, Int) where type BaseBackend (SqlReadBackend, Int) = SqlBackend persistBackend = unSqlReadBackend . fst

Associated types

Methods

Instances4HasPersistBackend
classclass HasPersistBackend backend => IsPersistBackend backend where
#

Class which witnesses that backend is essentially the same as BaseBackend backend. That is, they're isomorphic and backend is just some wrapper over BaseBackend backend.

Methods

  • mkPersistBackend :: BaseBackend backend -> backend

    This function is how we actually construct and tag a backend as having read or write capabilities. It should be used carefully and only when actually constructing a backend. Careless use allows us to accidentally run a write query against a read-only database.

Instances3IsPersistBackend
classclass PersistCore backend where
#

Associated types

Instances4PersistCore
classclass (Show (BackendKey backend), Read (BackendKey backend), Eq (BackendKey backend), Ord (BackendKey backend), PersistCore backend, PersistField (BackendKey backend), ToJSON (BackendKey backend), FromJSON (BackendKey backend)) => PersistStoreRead backend where
#

Methods

  • get :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe record)

    Get a record by identifier, if available.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    getSpj :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe User)
    getSpj = get spjId
    mspj <- getSpj

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get this:

    +------+-----+
    | name | age |
    +------+-----+
    | SPJ  |  40 |
    +------+-----+
  • getMany :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [Key record] -> ReaderT backend m (Map (Key record) record)

    Get many records by their respective identifiers, if available.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1:

    getUsers :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Map (Key User) User)
    getUsers = getMany allkeys
    musers <- getUsers

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get these records:

    +----+-------+-----+
    | id | name  | age |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ   |  40 |
    +----+-------+-----+

classclass (Show (BackendKey backend), Read (BackendKey backend), Eq (BackendKey backend), Ord (BackendKey backend), PersistStoreRead backend, PersistField (BackendKey backend), ToJSON (BackendKey backend), FromJSON (BackendKey backend)) => PersistStoreWrite backend where
#

Methods

  • insert :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Key record)

    Create a new record in the database, returning an automatically created key (in SQL an auto-increment id).

    Example usage

    Using schema-1 and dataset-1, let's insert a new user John.

    insertJohn :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertJohn = insert $ User "John" 30
    johnId <- insertJohn

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |John  |30   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • insert_ :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Same as insert, but doesn't return a Key.

    Example usage

    with schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertJohn :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertJohn = insert_ $ User "John" 30

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |John  |30   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • insertMany :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => [record] -> ReaderT backend m [Key record]

    Create multiple records in the database and return their Keys.

    If you don't need the inserted Keys, use insertMany_.

    The MongoDB and PostgreSQL backends insert all records and retrieve their keys in one database query.

    The SQLite and MySQL backends use the slow, default implementation of mapM insert.

    Example usage

    with schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUsers :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m [Key User]
    insertUsers = insertMany [User "John" 30, User "Nick" 32, User "Jane" 20]
    userIds <- insertUsers

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |John  |30   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |4    |Nick  |32   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |5    |Jane  |20   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • insertMany_ :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => [record] -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Same as insertMany, but doesn't return any Keys.

    The MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL backends insert all records in one database query.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUsers_ :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    insertUsers_ = insertMany_ [User "John" 30, User "Nick" 32, User "Jane" 20]

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |John  |30   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |4    |Nick  |32   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |5    |Jane  |20   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • insertEntityMany :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [Entity record] -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Same as insertMany_, but takes an Entity instead of just a record.

    Useful when migrating data from one entity to another and want to preserve ids.

    The MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL backends insert all records in one database query.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUserEntityMany :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    insertUserEntityMany = insertEntityMany [SnakeEntity, EvaEntity]

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |Snake |38   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |4    |Eva   |38   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • insertKey :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Create a new record in the database using the given key.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertAliceKey :: MonadIO m => Key User -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    insertAliceKey key = insertKey key $ User "Alice" 20
    insertAliceKey $ UserKey {unUserKey = SqlBackendKey {unSqlBackendKey = 3}}

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |Alice |20   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • repsert :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Put the record in the database with the given key. Unlike replace, if a record with the given key does not exist then a new record will be inserted.

    Example usage

    We try to explain upsertBy using schema-1 and dataset-1.

    First, we insert Philip to dataset-1.

    insertPhilip :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertPhilip = insert $ User "Philip" 42
    philipId <- insertPhilip

    This query will produce:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |Philip|42   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    repsertHaskell :: MonadIO m => Key record -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertHaskell id = repsert id $ User "Haskell" 81
    repsertHaskell philipId

    This query will replace Philip's record with Haskell's one:

    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |id   |name             |age     |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |1    |SPJ              |40      |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |2    |Simon            |41      |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |3    |Philip -> Haskell|42 -> 81|
    +-----+-----------------+--------+

    repsert inserts the given record if the key doesn't exist.

    repsertXToUnknown :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertXToUnknown = repsert unknownId $ User "X" 999

    For example, applying the above query to dataset-1 will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |X     |999  |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • repsertMany :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [(Key record, record)] -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Put many entities into the database.

    Batch version of repsert for SQL backends.

    Useful when migrating data from one entity to another and want to preserve ids.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    repsertManyUsers :: MonadIO m =>ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertManyusers = repsertMany [(simonId, User "Philip" 20), (unknownId999, User "Mr. X" 999)]

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+----------------+---------+
    |id   |name            |age      |
    +-----+----------------+---------+
    |1    |SPJ             |40       |
    +-----+----------------+---------+
    |2    |Simon -> Philip |41 -> 20 |
    +-----+----------------+---------+
    |999  |Mr. X           |999      |
    +-----+----------------+---------+
  • replace :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Replace the record in the database with the given key. Note that the result is undefined if such record does not exist, so you must use insertKey or repsert in these cases.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 schama-1 and dataset-1,

    replaceSpj :: MonadIO m => User -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    replaceSpj record = replace spjId record

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |Mike  |45   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • delete :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    deleteSpj :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    deleteSpj = delete spjId

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
  • update :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> [Update record] -> ReaderT backend m ()

    Update individual fields on a specific record.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    updateSpj :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    updateSpj updates = update spjId updates
    updateSpj [UserAge +=. 100]

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |

    +-----+------+-----+
  • updateGet :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> [Update record] -> ReaderT backend m record

    Update individual fields on a specific record, and retrieve the updated value from the database.

    Note that this function will throw an exception if the given key is not found in the database.

    Example usage

    With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    updateGetSpj :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m User
    updateGetSpj updates = updateGet spjId updates
    spj <- updateGetSpj [UserAge +=. 100]

    The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |140  |

classclass (PersistEntity record, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistCore backend) => ToBackendKey backend record where
#

ToBackendKey converts a PersistEntity Key into a BackendKey This can be used by each backend to convert between a Key and a plain Haskell type. For Sql, that is done with toSqlKey and fromSqlKey.

By default, a PersistEntity uses the default BackendKey for its Key and is an instance of ToBackendKey

A Key that instead uses a custom type will not be an instance of ToBackendKey.

Methods

classclass BackendCompatible sup sub where
#

This class witnesses that two backend are compatible, and that you can convert from the sub backend into the sup backend. This is similar to the HasPersistBackend and IsPersistBackend classes, but where you don't want to fix the type associated with the PersistEntityBackend of a record.

Generally speaking, where you might have:

foo ::
  ( PersistEntity record
  , PersistEntityBackend record ~ BaseBackend backend
  , IsSqlBackend backend
  )

this can be replaced with:

foo ::
  ( PersistEntity record,
  , PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend
  , BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend
  )

This works for SqlReadBackend because of the instance BackendCompatible SqlBackend SqlReadBackend, without needing to go through the BaseBackend type family.

Likewise, functions that are currently hardcoded to use SqlBackend can be generalized:

-- before:
asdf :: ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
asdf = pure ()

-- after:
asdf' :: BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend => ReaderT backend m ()
asdf' = withCompatibleBackend asdf

Methods

Instances3BackendCompatible
valuewithCompatibleBackend
  1. :: BackendCompatible sup sub
  2. => ReaderT sup m a
  3. -> ReaderT sub m a
#

Run a query against a compatible backend, by projecting the backend

This is a helper for using queries which run against a specific backend type that your backend is compatible with.
