Description

Defines type classes for Tables and Databases.

All important class methods of these classes can be derived automatically using Generics and GHC's DefaultSignatures extension, but you can override any method if necessary.

To get started, see Table, Columnar, and Nullable.

Synopsis

Database construction

Types and functions to express database types and auto-generate name mappings for them. See the manual for more information.

class Database be db Source #

Allows introspection into database types.

All database types must be of kind '(* -> *) -> *'. If the type parameter is named f, each field must be of the type of f applied to some type for which an IsDatabaseEntity instance exists.

The be type parameter is necessary so that the compiler can ensure that backend-specific entities only work on the proper backend.

Entities are documented under the corresponding section and in the manual

type DatabaseSettings be db = db (DatabaseEntity be db) Source #

When parameterized by this entity tag, a database type will hold meta-information on the Haskell mappings of database entities. Under the hood, each entity type is transformed into its DatabaseEntityDescriptor type. For tables this includes the table name as well as the corresponding TableSettings, which provides names for each column.

data DatabaseEntity be (db :: (* -> *) -> *) entityType Source #

Represents a meta-description of a particular entityType. Mostly, a wrapper around 'DatabaseEntityDescriptor be entityType', but carries around the IsDatabaseEntity dictionary.

Methods

Database entities

Database entities represent things that can go into databases. Each entity in your database that you want to access from Haskell must be given a field in your database type. Each type of entity gets a particular entity tag, such as TableEntity or DomainTypeEntity

data TableEntity (tbl :: (* -> *) -> *) Source #

An entity tag for tables. See the documentation for Table or consult the manual for more.

Table construction

class (Typeable table, Beamable table, Beamable (PrimaryKey table)) => Table (table :: (* -> *) -> *) where Source #

The big Kahuna! All beam tables implement this class.

The kind of all table types is '(* -> *) -> *'. This is because all table types are actually table type constructors. Every table type takes in another type constructor, called the column tag, and uses that constructor to instantiate the column types. See the documentation for Columnar.

This class is mostly Generic-derivable. You need only specify a type for the table's primary key and a method to extract the primary key given the table.

An example table:

data BlogPostT f = BlogPost
                 { _blogPostSlug    :: Columnar f Text
                 , _blogPostBody    :: Columnar f Text
                 , _blogPostDate    :: Columnar f UTCTime
                 , _blogPostAuthor  :: PrimaryKey AuthorT f
                 , _blogPostTagline :: Columnar f (Maybe Text)
                 , _blogPostImageGallery :: PrimaryKey ImageGalleryT (Nullable f) }
                   deriving Generic
instance Beamable BlogPostT
instance Table BlogPostT where
   data PrimaryKey BlogPostT f = BlogPostId (Columnar f Text) deriving Generic
   primaryKey = BlogPostId . _blogPostSlug
instance Beamable (PrimaryKey BlogPostT)

We can interpret this as follows:

  • The _blogPostSlug, _blogPostBody, _blogPostDate, and _blogPostTagline fields are of types Text, Text, UTCTime, and 'Maybe Text' respectfully.
  • Since _blogPostSlug, _blogPostBody, _blogPostDate, _blogPostAuthor must be provided (i.e, they cannot contain Nothing), they will be given SQL NOT NULL constraints. _blogPostTagline is declared Maybe so Nothing will be stored as NULL in the database. _blogPostImageGallery will be allowed to be empty because it uses the Nullable tag modifier.
  • blogPostAuthor references the AuthorT table (not given here) and is required.
  • blogPostImageGallery references the ImageGalleryT table (not given here), but this relation is not required (i.e., it may be Nothing. See Nullable).

Minimal complete definition

primaryKey

Associated Types

data PrimaryKey table (column :: * -> *) :: * Source #

A data type representing the types of primary keys for this table. In order to play nicely with the default deriving mechanism, this type must be an instance of Generic.

Methods

primaryKey :: table column -> PrimaryKey table column Source #

Given a table, this should return the PrimaryKey from the table. By keeping this polymorphic over column, we ensure that the primary key values come directly from the table (i.e., they can't be arbitrary constants)

class Beamable table Source #

Provides a number of introspection routines for the beam library. Allows us to "zip" tables with different column tags together. Always instantiate an empty Beamable instance for tables, primary keys, and any type that you would like to embed within either. See the manual for more information on embedding.

defTblFieldSettings :: (Generic (TableSettings table), GDefaultTableFieldSettings (Rep (TableSettings table) ())) => TableSettings table Source #

Return a TableSettings for the appropriate table type where each column has been given its default name. See the manual for information on the default naming convention.

pk :: Table t => t f -> PrimaryKey t f Source #

Synonym for primaryKey

type family Columnar (f :: * -> *) x where ... Source #

A type family that we use to "tag" columns in our table datatypes.

This is what allows us to use the same table type to hold table data, describe table settings, derive lenses, and provide expressions.

The basic rules are

Columnar Identity x = x

Thus, any Beam table applied to Identity will yield a simplified version of the data type, that contains just what you'd expect.

The Nullable type is used when referencing PrimaryKeys that we want to include optionally. For example, if we have a table with a PrimaryKey, like the following

data BeamTableT f = BeamTableT
                  { _refToAnotherTable :: PrimaryKey AnotherTableT f
                  , ... }

we would typically be required to provide values for the PrimaryKey embedded into BeamTableT. We can use Nullable to lift this constraint.

data BeamTableT f = BeamTableT
                  { _refToAnotherTable :: PrimaryKey AnotherTableT (Nullable f)
                  , ... }

Now we can use justRef and nothingRef to refer to this table optionally. The embedded PrimaryKey in _refToAnotherTable automatically has its fields converted into Maybe using Nullable.

The last Columnar rule is

Columnar f x = f x

Use this rule if you'd like to parameterize your table type over any other functor. For example, this is used in the query modules to write expressions such as 'TableT QExpr', which returns a table whose fields have been turned into query expressions.

The other rules are used within Beam to provide lenses and to expose the inner structure of the data type.

Equations

Columnar Exposed x = Exposed x 
Columnar Identity x = x 
Columnar (Lenses t f) x = LensFor (t f) (Columnar f x) 
Columnar (Nullable c) x = Columnar c (Maybe x) 
Columnar f x = f x 

type C f a = Columnar f a Source #

A short type-alias for Columnar. May shorten your schema definitions

data Columnar' f a Source #

If you declare a function 'Columnar f a -> b' and try to constrain your function by a type class for f, GHC will complain, because f is ambiguous in 'Columnar f a'. For example, 'Columnar Identity (Maybe a) ~ Maybe a' and 'Columnar (Nullable Identity) a ~ Maybe a', so given a type 'Columnar f a', we cannot know the type of f.

Thus, if you need to know f, you can instead use Columnar'. Since its a newtype, it carries around the f paramater unambiguously. Internally, it simply wraps 'Columnar f a'

data Nullable (c :: * -> *) x Source #

Support for NULLable Foreign Key references.

data MyTable f = MyTable
               { nullableRef :: PrimaryKey AnotherTable (Nullable f)
               , ... }
                deriving (Generic, Typeable)

See Columnar for more information.

data TableField (table :: (* -> *) -> *) ty Source #

Metadata for a field of type ty in table.

Essentially a wrapper over the field name, but with a phantom type parameter, so that it forms an appropriate column tag.

Usually you use the defaultDbSettings function to generate an appropriate naming convention for you, and then modify it with withDbModification if necessary. Under this scheme, the field can be renamed using the IsString instance for TableField, or the fieldNamed function.

Generic-deriving mechanisms

defaultDbSettings :: (Generic (DatabaseSettings be db), GAutoDbSettings (Rep (DatabaseSettings be db) ())) => DatabaseSettings be db Source #

Automatically provide names for tables, and descriptions for tables (using defTblFieldSettings). Your database must implement Generic, and must be auto-derivable. For more information on name generation, see the manual

Modifying the derived schema

type DatabaseModification f be db = db (EntityModification f be) Source #

A helper data type that lets you modify a database schema. Converts all entities in the database into functions from that entity to itself.

data EntityModification f be e Source #

A newtype wrapper around 'f e -> f e' (i.e., an endomorphism between entity types in f). You usually want to use modifyTable or another function to contstruct these for you.

withDbModification :: forall db be entity. Database be db => db (entity be db) -> DatabaseModification (entity be db) be db -> db (entity be db) Source #

Modify a database according to a given modification. Most useful for DatabaseSettings to change the name mappings of tables and fields. For example, you can use this to modify the default names of a table

db :: DatabaseSettings MyDb
db = defaultDbSettings `withDbModification`
     dbModification {
       -- Change default name "table1" to "Table_1". Change the name of "table1Field1" to "first_name"
       table1 = modifyTable (\_ -> "Table_1") (tableModification { table1Field1 = "first_name" }
     }

withTableModification :: Beamable tbl => tbl (FieldModification f) -> tbl f -> tbl f Source #

Modify a table according to the given field modifications. Invoked by modifyTable to apply the modification in the database. Not used as often in user code, but provided for completeness.

dbModification :: forall f be db. Database be db => DatabaseModification f be db Source #

Return a DatabaseModification that does nothing. This is useful if you only want to rename one table. You can do

dbModification { tbl1 = modifyTable (\oldNm -> "NewTableName") tableModification }

tableModification :: forall f tbl. Beamable tbl => tbl (FieldModification f) Source #

Return a table modification (for use with modifyTable) that does nothing. Useful if you only want to change the table name, or if you only want to modify a few fields.

For example,

tableModification { field1 = "Column1" }

is a table modification (where 'f ~ TableField tbl') that changes the column name of field1 to Column1.

modifyTable :: (Text -> Text) -> tbl (FieldModification (TableField tbl)) -> EntityModification (DatabaseEntity be db) be (TableEntity tbl) Source #

Provide an EntityModification for TableEntitys. Allows you to modify the name of the table and provide a modification for each field in the table. See the examples for withDbModification for more.

fieldNamed :: Text -> FieldModification (TableField tbl) a Source #

A field modification to rename the field. Also offered under the IsString instance for 'FieldModification (TableField tbl) a' for convenience.

Types for lens generation

data Lenses (t :: (* -> *) -> *) (f :: * -> *) x Source #

data LensFor t x where Source #

Constructors

LensFor :: Generic t => Lens' t x -> LensFor t x 

tableLenses :: (lensType ~ Lenses t f, Generic (t lensType), Generic (t f), GTableLenses t f (Rep (t f)) (Rep (t lensType))) => t (Lenses t f) Source #

Automatically deduce lenses for a table over any column tag. lenses at global level by doing a top-level pattern match on tableLenses, replacing every column in the pattern with `LensFor nameOfLensForField'. The lenses are generated per-column, not per field in the record. Thus if you have nested Beamable types, lenses are generated for each nested field.

For example,

data AuthorT f = AuthorT
               { _authorEmail     :: Columnar f Text
               , _authorFirstName :: Columnar f Text
               , _authorLastName  :: Columnar f Text }
                 deriving Generic

data BlogPostT f = BlogPost
                 { _blogPostSlug    :: Columnar f Text
                 , _blogPostBody    :: Columnar f Text
                 , _blogPostDate    :: Columnar f UTCTime
                 , _blogPostAuthor  :: PrimaryKey AuthorT f
                 , _blogPostTagline :: Columnar f (Maybe Text) }
                   deriving Generic
instance Table BlogPostT where
   data PrimaryKey BlogPostT f = BlogPostId (Columnar f Text)
   primaryKey = BlogPostId . _blogPostSlug
instance Table AuthorT where
   data PrimaryKey AuthorT f = AuthorId (Columnar f Text)
   primaryKey = AuthorId . _authorEmail
BlogPost (LensFor blogPostSlug
         (LensFor blogPostBody)
         (LensFor blogPostDate)
         (AuthorId (LensFor blogPostAuthorEmail))
         (LensFor blogPostTagLine) = tableLenses

Note: In order to have GHC deduce the right type, you will need to turn off the monomorphism restriction. This is a part of the Haskell standard that specifies that top-level definitions must be inferred to have a monomorphic type. However, lenses need a polymorphic type to work properly. You can turn off the monomorphism restriction by enabling the NoMonomorphismRestriction extension. You can do this per-file by using the {--} pragma at the top of the file. You can also pass the -XNoMonomorphismRestriction command line flag to GHC during compilation.

newtype TableLens f db (x :: k) Source #

Constructors

TableLens (Lens' (db f) (f x)) 

dbLenses :: (Generic (db (TableLens f db)), Generic (db f), GDatabaseLenses (db f) (Rep (db f)) (Rep (db (TableLens f db)))) => db (TableLens f db) Source #

Like tableLenses but for types that are instances of Database. Instead of pattern matching on LensFor, pattern match on TableLens.
