Squiggle - an SQL query builder for golang

Have a program where it's awkward or impossible to compose an SQL query in sinlge place? Tired of concatenating pieces of SQL manually? Then Squiggle is for you! Squiggle is not an ORM but a powerful light weight tool to build SQL queries piece by piece. Squiggle draws inspiration from amazing projects like Squel.js and Sequel.

Project Goals

• Intuitive easy to use/read/remember DSL for query creation
• Cover 100% of common use cases for SQL query building

Example Use

import sgl "github.com/braindev/squiggle"

func main() {
  query := sgl.Select().
    AddFrom("users").
    AddField("username", "id", "created_at").
    Where(sgl.Or("username = $1", sql.And("is_admin = $2", "is_deleted = $3"))).
    Limit(10).Offset(5)
  fmt.Println(query.String()) 
  // ==> SELECT username, id, created_at FROM users WHERE username = $1 OR (is_admin = $2 AND is_deleted = $3) LIMIT 10 OFFSET 5

}

API

Select() - creates a new query of type SELECT

squiggle.Select()

AddFrom(string/squiggle.From...) - appends to the FROM clause of the query

squiggle.Select().
  AddFrom("users", From{Schema: "db1", Table: "table1", Alias: "t1"}).
  AddFrom("foo").
  String()
// => "SELECT * FROM users, db1.table1 t1, foo"

AddField(string/squiggle.Field...) - appends to the field/expression portion of the query

squiggle.Select().
  AddField("username", "id", squiggle.Field{Schema: "db", Table: "table", Name: "field", Alias: "f1"}).
  String()
// => "SELECT username, id, db.table.field AS f1"

squiggle.Select().
  AddField(squiggle.Field{Expression:"NOW()", Alias: "the_time"}).
  SetIdentifierQuotes("`")
  String()
// => "SELECT NOW() AS `the_time`" NOTE that the expression naturally doesn't get identifier quotes 

TODO

• Support query types other than SELECT
