A type-safe, Swift-language layer over SQLite3.
SQLite.swift provides compile-time confidence in SQL statement syntax and intent.
- A pure-Swift interface
- A type-safe, optional-aware SQL expression builder
- A flexible, chainable, lazy-executing query layer
- Automatically-typed data access
- A lightweight, uncomplicated query and parameter binding interface
- Transactions with implicit commit/rollback
- Developer-friendly error handling and debugging
- Well-documented
- Extensively tested
import SQLite
let db = Database("path/to/db.sqlite3")
let users = db["users"]
let id = Expression<Int>("id")
let name = Expression<String?>("name")
let email = Expression<String>("email")
db.create(table: users) { t in
t.column(id, primaryKey: true)
t.column(name)
t.column(email, unique: true)
}
// CREATE TABLE "users" (
// "id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
// "name" TEXT,
// "email" TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE
// )
var alice: Query?
if let insertedID = users.insert(name <- "Alice", email <- "alice@mac.com") {
println("inserted id: \(insertedID)")
// inserted id: 1
alice = users.filter(id == insertedID)
}
// INSERT INTO "users" ("name", "email") VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@mac.com')
for user in users {
println("id: \(user[id]), name: \(user[name]), email: \(user[email])")
// id: 1, name: Optional("Alice"), email: alice@mac.com
}
// SELECT * FROM "users"
alice?.update(email <- replace(email, "mac.com", "me.com"))?
// UPDATE "users" SET "email" = replace("email", 'mac.com', 'me.com')
// WHERE ("id" = 1)
alice?.delete()?
// DELETE FROM "users" WHERE ("id" = 1)
users.count
// SELECT count(*) FROM "users"SQLite.swift also works as a lightweight, Swift-friendly wrapper over the C API.
let stmt = db.prepare("INSERT INTO users (email) VALUES (?)")
for email in ["betty@icloud.com", "cathy@icloud.com"] {
stmt.run(email)
}
db.totalChanges // 3
db.lastChanges // {Some 1}
db.lastID // {Some 3}
for row in db.prepare("SELECT id, email FROM users") {
println("id: \(row[0]), email: \(row[1])")
// id: Optional(2), email: Optional("betty@icloud.com")
// id: Optional(3), email: Optional("cathy@icloud.com")
}
db.scalar("SELECT count(*) FROM users") // {Some 2}Read the documentation or explore more, interactively, from the Xcode project’s playground.
Note: SQLite.swift requires Swift 1.1 (and Xcode 6.1) or greater.
To install SQLite.swift:
-
Drag the SQLite.xcodeproj file into your own project. (Submodule, clone, or download the project first.)
-
In your target’s Build Phases, add SQLite iOS (or SQLite Mac) to the Target Dependencies build phase.
-
Add the appropriate SQLite.framework product to the Link Binary With Libraries build phase.
-
Add the same SQLite.framework to a Copy Files build phase with a Frameworks destination. (Add a new build phase if need be.)
