Getting Started with Multiplatform

First apply the gradle plugin in your project.

KotlinGroovy

plugins {
  id("app.cash.sqldelight") version "2.0.0-alpha05"
}

repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
}

sqldelight {
  databases {
    create("Database") {
      packageName.set("com.example")
    }
  }
}

plugins {
  id "app.cash.sqldelight" version "2.0.0-alpha05"
}

repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
}

sqldelight {
  databases {
    Database { // This will be the name of the generated database class.
      packageName = "com.example"
    }
  }
}

Put your SQL statements in a .sq file under src/commonMain/sqldelight. Typically the first statement in the SQL file creates a table.

-- src/commonMain/sqldelight/com/example/sqldelight/hockey/data/Player.sq

CREATE TABLE hockeyPlayer (
  player_number INTEGER NOT NULL,
  full_name TEXT NOT NULL
);

CREATE INDEX hockeyPlayer_full_name ON hockeyPlayer(full_name);

INSERT INTO hockeyPlayer (player_number, full_name)
VALUES (15, 'Ryan Getzlaf');

From this SQLDelight will generate a Database Kotlin class with an associated Schema object that can be used to create your database and run your statements on it. Doing this also requires a driver, which SQLDelight provides implementations of:

KotlinGroovy

kotlin {
  // The drivers needed will change depending on what platforms you target:

  sourceSets.androidMain.dependencies {
    implementation("app.cash.sqldelight:android-driver:2.0.0-alpha05")
  }

  // or sourceSets.iosMain, sourceSets.windowsMain, etc.
  sourceSets.nativeMain.dependencies {
    implementation("app.cash.sqldelight:native-driver:2.0.0-alpha05")
  }

  sourceSets.jvmMain.dependencies {
    implementation("app.cash.sqldelight:sqlite-driver:2.0.0-alpha05")
  }
}

kotlin {
  // The drivers needed will change depending on what platforms you target:

  sourceSets.androidMain.dependencies {
    implementation "app.cash.sqldelight:android-driver:2.0.0-alpha05"
  }

  // or sourceSets.iosMain, sourceSets.windowsMain, etc.
  sourceSets.nativeMain.dependencies {
    implementation "app.cash.sqldelight:native-driver:2.0.0-alpha05"
  }

  sourceSets.jvmMain.dependencies {
    implementation "app.cash.sqldelight:sqlite-driver:2.0.0-alpha05"
  }
}

// in src/commonMain/kotlin
expect class DriverFactory {
  expect fun createDriver(): SqlDriver
}

fun createDatabase(driverFactory): Database {
  val driver = driverFactory.createDriver()
  val database = Database(driver)

  // Do more work with the database (see below).
}

// in src/androidMain/kotlin
actual class DriverFactory(private val context: Context) {
  actual fun createDriver(): SqlDriver {
    return AndroidSqliteDriver(Database.Schema, context, "test.db") 
  }
}

// in src/nativeMain/kotlin
actual class DriverFactory {
  actual fun createDriver(): SqlDriver {
    return NativeSqliteDriver(Database.Schema, "test.db")
  }
}

// in src/jvmMain/kotlin
actual class DriverFactory {
  actual fun createDriver(): SqlDriver {
    val driver: SqlDriver = JdbcSqliteDriver(JdbcSqliteDriver.IN_MEMORY)
    Database.Schema.create(driver)
    return driver
  }
}

For use with the SqlJs driver, see here.

SQL statements inside a .sq file can be labeled to have a typesafe function generated for them available at runtime.

selectAll:
SELECT *
FROM hockeyPlayer;

insert:
INSERT INTO hockeyPlayer(player_number, full_name)
VALUES (?, ?);

insertFullPlayerObject:
INSERT INTO hockeyPlayer(player_number, full_name)
VALUES ?;

Files with labeled statements in them will have a queries file generated from them that matches the .sq file name - putting the above sql into Player.sq generates PlayerQueries.kt. To get a reference to PlayerQueries you need to wrap the driver we made above:

// In reality the database and driver above should be created a single time
// and passed around using your favourite dependency injection/service
// locator/singleton pattern.
val database = Database(driver)

val playerQueries: PlayerQueries = database.playerQueries

println(playerQueries.selectAll().executeAsList())
// Prints [HockeyPlayer(15, "Ryan Getzlaf")]

playerQueries.insert(player_number = 10, full_name = "Corey Perry")
println(playerQueries.selectAll().executeAsList())
// Prints [HockeyPlayer(15, "Ryan Getzlaf"), HockeyPlayer(10, "Corey Perry")]

val player = HockeyPlayer(10, "Ronald McDonald")
playerQueries.insertFullPlayerObject(player)
