<h4>What is Georm?</h4>
</div>
Georm is a quite simple ORM built around
[SQLx](https://crates.io/crates/sqlx) that gives access to a few
useful functions when interacting with a database, implementing
automatically the most basic SQL interactions youre tired of writing.
<div align="center">
<h4>Why is Georm?</h4>
</div>
I wanted an ORM thats easy and straightforward to use. I am aware
some other projects exist, such as
[SeaORM](https://www.sea-ql.org/SeaORM/), but they generally dont fit
my needs and/or my wants of a simple interface. I ended up writing the
ORM I wanted to use.
<div align="center">
<h4>How is Georm?</h4>
</div>
I use it in a few projects, and Im quite happy with it right now. But
of course, Im open to constructive criticism and suggestions!
<div align="center">
<h4>How can I use it?</h4>
</div>
Georm works with SQLx, but does not re-export it itself. To get
started, install both Georm and SQLx in your Rust project:
```sh
cargo add sqlx --features postgres,macros # and any other feature you might want
cargo add georm
```
As Georm relies heavily on the macro
[`query_as!`](https://docs.rs/sqlx/latest/sqlx/macro.query_as.html),
the `macros` feature is not optional. Declare your tables in your
Postgres database (you may want to use SQLxs `migrate` feature for
this), and then declare their equivalent in Rust.
```sql
CREATE TABLE biographies (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
content TEXT NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE authors (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
biography_id INT,
FOREIGN KEY (biography_id) REFERENCES biographies(id)
);
```
```rust
pub struct Author {
pub id: i32,
pub name: String,
}
```
To link a struct to a table in your database, derive the
`sqlx::FromRow` and the `georm::Georm` traits.
```rust
#[derive(sqlx::FromRow, Georm)]
pub struct Author {
pub id: i32,
pub name: String,
}
```
Now, indicate with the `georm` proc-macro which table they refer to.
```rust
#[derive(sqlx::FromRow, Georm)]
#[georm(table = "authors")]
pub struct Author {
pub id: i32,
pub name: String,
}
```
Finally, indicate with the same proc-macro which field of your struct
is the primary key in your database.
```rust
#[derive(sqlx::FromRow, Georm)]
#[georm(table = "authors")]
pub struct Author {
#[georm(id)]
pub id: i32,
pub name: String,
}
```
Congratulations, your struct `Author` now has access to all the
functions described in the `Georm` trait!
<div align="center">
<h4>Entity relationship</h4>
</div>
It is possible to implement one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many
relationships with Georm. This is a quick example of how a struct with
several relationships of different types may be declared:
```rust
#[derive(sqlx::FromRow, Georm)]
#[georm(
table = "books",
one_to_many = [
{ name = "reviews", remote_id = "book_id", table = "reviews", entity = Review }
],
many_to_many = [{
name = "genres",
table = "genres",
entity = Genre,
link = { table = "book_genres", from = "book_id", to = "genre_id" }
}]
)]
pub struct Book {
#[georm(id)]
ident: i32,
title: String,
#[georm(relation = {entity = Author, table = "authors", name = "author"})]
author_id: i32,
}
```

documentation](https://docs.rs/georm/).
