Elephantry

When Rust meets PostgreSQL.

Getting Started

See quickstart and examples.

Quick overview

Elephantry is an OMM (object model manager) dedicated to PostgreSQL design to handle from simple to complex queries.

let database_url = std::env::var("DATABASE_URL")
    .unwrap_or_else(|_| "postgres://localhost".to_string());

// Connect
let elephantry = elephantry::Pool::new(&database_url)?;

// Simple query
let rows = elephantry.execute("select id from entity")?;

for row in &rows {
    let id: i32 = row.get("id");
    println!("{id}");
}

// Define entity
#[derive(elephantry::Entity)]
#[elephantry(model = "Model", structure = "Structure")]
struct Entity {
    #[elephantry(pk)]
    id: u16,
    deleted: bool,
}

// Read entities
let entity = elephantry.find_by_pk::<Model>(&elephantry::pk!(id))?;
let entities = elephantry.find_all::<Model>(None)?;
let entities = elephantry.find_where::<Model>("deleted = $1", &[&false], None)?;

// Write entities
elephantry.insert_one::<Model>(&entity)?;
elephantry.update_one::<Model>(&elephantry::pk!{id => entity.id}, &entity)?;
elephantry.delete_one::<Model>(&entity)?;
elephantry.delete_where::<Model>("deleted = $1", &[&true])?;
