Getting Started on JVM with SQLite¶
First apply the gradle plugin in your project.
plugins {
id("app.cash.sqldelight") version "2.0.0-rc02"
}
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
sqldelight {
databases {
create("Database") {
packageName.set("com.example")
}
}
}
plugins {
id "app.cash.sqldelight" version "2.0.0-rc02"
}
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/main/sqldelight
. Typically the first statement in the SQL file creates a table.
-- src/main/sqldelight/com/example/sqldelight/hockey/data/Player.sq
CREATE TABLE hockeyPlayer (
player_number INTEGER PRIMARY KEY 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. Generating the Database
file happens during the 'generateSqlDelightInterface' gradle task. This task runs during the 'make project'/'make module' build task, or automatically if you have the SQLDelight IDE plugin.
Accessing the generated database also requires a driver, which SQLDelight provides implementations of:
dependencies {
implementation("app.cash.sqldelight:sqlite-driver:2.0.0-rc02")
}
dependencies {
implementation "app.cash.sqldelight:sqlite-driver:2.0.0-rc02"
}
val driver: SqlDriver = JdbcSqliteDriver(JdbcSqliteDriver.IN_MEMORY)
Database.Schema.create(driver)
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)
