Description

This module exports all of the type classes in `persistent` for operating on the database backends.

`persistent` offers methods that are abstract in the specific `backend` type. For SQL databases, this wil be `SqlBackend`. Other database backends will define their own types.

Methods and functions in this module have examples documented under an "Example Usage" thing, that you need to click on to expand.

# PersistStore

The `PersistStore`, `PersistStoreRead`, and `PersistStoreWrite` type classes are used to define basic operations on the database. A database that implements these classes is capable of being used as a simple key-value store.

All the examples present here will be explained based on these schemas, datasets and functions:

# schema-1

    share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistLowerCase|
    User
        name String
        age Int
        deriving Show
    |]

# dataset-1

    +----+-------+-----+
    | id | name  | age |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ   |  40 |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  2 | Simon |  41 |
    +----+-------+-----+

type PersistStore a = PersistStoreWrite a #

A backwards-compatible alias for those that don't care about distinguishing between read and write queries. It signifies the assumption that, by default, a backend can write as well as read.

class (Show (BackendKey backend), Read (BackendKey backend), Eq (BackendKey backend), Ord (BackendKey backend), PersistCore backend, PersistField (BackendKey backend), ToJSON (BackendKey backend), FromJSON (BackendKey backend)) => PersistStoreRead backend where #

get

Methods

get :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe record) #

Get a record by identifier, if available.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    getSpj :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe User)
    getSpj = get spjId

    mspj <- getSpj

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get this:

    +------+-----+
    | name | age |
    +------+-----+
    | SPJ  |  40 |
    +------+-----+

getMany :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [Key record] -> ReaderT backend m (Map (Key record) record) #

Get many records by their respective identifiers, if available.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1:

    getUsers :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Map (Key User) User)
    getUsers = getMany allkeys

    musers <- getUsers

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get these records:

    +----+-------+-----+
    | id | name  | age |

insert, insertKey, repsert, replace, delete, update

Methods

insert :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Key record) #

Create a new record in the database, returning an automatically created key (in SQL an auto-increment id).

### Example usage

Using schema-1 and dataset-1, let's insert a new user `John`.

    insertJohn :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertJohn = insert $ User "John" 30

    johnId <- insertJohn

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |John  |30   |
    +-----+------+-----+

insert_ :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m () #

Same as `insert`, but doesn't return a `Key`.

### Example usage

Expand

with schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertJohn :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertJohn = insert_ $ User "John" 30

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+

    +-----+------+-----+

insertMany :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => [record] -> ReaderT backend m [Key record] #

Create multiple records in the database and return their `Key`s.

If you don't need the inserted `Key`s, use `insertMany_`.

The MongoDB and PostgreSQL backends insert all records and retrieve their keys in one database query.

The SQLite and MySQL backends use the slow, default implementation of `mapM insert`.

### Example usage

with schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUsers :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m [Key User]
    insertUsers = insertMany [User "John" 30, User "Nick" 32, User "Jane" 20]

    userIds <- insertUsers

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+

    +-----+------+-----+

insertMany_ :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) => [record] -> ReaderT backend m () #

Same as `insertMany`, but doesn't return any `Key`s.

The MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL backends insert all records in one database query.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUsers_ :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    insertUsers_ = insertMany_ [User "John" 30, User "Nick" 32, User "Jane" 20]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |

    +-----+------+-----+

insertEntityMany :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [Entity record] -> ReaderT backend m () #

Same as `insertMany_`, but takes an `Entity` instead of just a record.

Useful when migrating data from one entity to another and want to preserve ids.

The MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL backends insert all records in one database query.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    insertUserEntityMany :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    insertUserEntityMany = insertEntityMany [SnakeEntity, EvaEntity]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |

    +-----+------+-----+

repsert :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m () #

Put the record in the database with the given key. Unlike `replace`, if a record with the given key does not exist then a new record will be inserted.

### Example usage

Expand

We try to explain `upsertBy` using schema-1 and dataset-1.

First, we insert Philip to dataset-1.

    insertPhilip :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
    insertPhilip = insert $ User "Philip" 42

    philipId <- insertPhilip

This query will produce:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |1    |SPJ   |40   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |2    |Simon |41   |
    +-----+------+-----+
    |3    |Philip|42   |
    +-----+------+-----+

    repsertHaskell :: MonadIO m => Key record -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertHaskell id = repsert id $ User "Haskell" 81

    repsertHaskell philipId

This query will replace Philip's record with Haskell's one:

    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |id   |name             |age     |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |1    |SPJ              |40      |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |2    |Simon            |41      |
    +-----+-----------------+--------+
    |3    |Philip -> Haskell|42 -> 81|
    +-----+-----------------+--------+

`repsert` inserts the given record if the key doesn't exist.

    repsertXToUnknown :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertXToUnknown = repsert unknownId $ User "X" 999

For example, applying the above query to dataset-1 will produce this:

    +-----+------+-----+
    |id   |name  |age  |
    +-----+------+-----+

repsertMany :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [(Key record, record)] -> ReaderT backend m () #

Put many entities into the database.

Batch version of `repsert` for SQL backends.

Useful when migrating data from one entity to another and want to preserve ids.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

    repsertManyUsers :: MonadIO m =>ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    repsertManyusers = repsertMany [(simonId, User "Philip" 20), (unknownId999, User "Mr. X" 999)]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+----------------+---------+
    |id   |name            |age      |
    +-----+----------------+---------+

replace :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m () #

Replace the record in the database with the given key. Note that the result is undefined if such record does not exist, so you must use `insertKey` or `repsert` in these cases.

This just throws an error.

getJustEntity :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (PersistEntityBackend record ~ BaseBackend backend, MonadIO m, PersistEntity record, PersistStoreRead backend) => Key record -> ReaderT backend m (Entity record) #

belongsToJust :: forall ent1 ent2 backend (m :: Type -> Type). (PersistStoreRead backend, PersistEntity ent1, PersistRecordBackend ent2 backend, MonadIO m) => (ent1 -> Key ent2) -> ent1 -> ReaderT backend m ent2 #

Same as `belongsTo`, but uses `getJust` and therefore is similarly unsafe.

class SafeToInsert a #

A type class which is used to witness that a type is safe to insert into the database without providing a primary key.

The `TemplateHaskell` function `mkPersist` will generate instances of this class for any entity that it works on. If the entity has a default primary key, then it provides a regular instance. If the entity has a `Primary` natural key, then this works fine. But if the entity has an `Id` column with no `default=`, then this does a `TypeError` and forces the user to use `insertKey`.

# PersistUnique

The `PersistUnique` type class is relevant for database backends that offer uniqueness keys. Uniquenes keys allow us to perform operations like `getBy`, `deleteBy`, as well as `upsert` and `putMany`.

All the examples present here will be explained based on these two schemas and the dataset:

# schema-1

This schema has single unique constraint.

    share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistLowerCase|
    User
        name String
        age Int
        UniqueUserName name
        deriving Show
    |]

# schema-2

This schema has two unique constraints.

    share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistLowerCase|
    User
        name String
        age Int
        UniqueUserName name
        UniqueUserAge age
        deriving Show
    |]

# dataset-1

    +-----+-----+-----+
    |id   |name |age  |
    +-----+-----+-----+
    |1    |SPJ  |40   |
    +-----+-----+-----+
    |2    |Simon|41   |
    +-----+-----+-----+

type PersistUnique a = PersistUniqueWrite a #

A backwards-compatible alias for those that don't care about distinguishing between read and write queries. It signifies the assumption that, by default, a backend can write as well as read.

class PersistStoreRead backend => PersistUniqueRead backend where #

Queries against `Unique` keys (other than the id `Key`).

Please read the general Persistent documentation to learn how to create `Unique` keys.

Using this with an Entity without a Unique key leads to undefined behavior. A few of these functions require a single `Unique`, so using an Entity with multiple `Unique`s is also undefined. In these cases persistent's goal is to throw an exception as soon as possible, but persistent is still transitioning to that.

SQL backends automatically create uniqueness constraints, but for MongoDB you must manually place a unique index on a field to have a uniqueness constraint.

getBy

Methods

getBy :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Unique record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity record)) #

Get a record by unique key, if available. Returns also the identifier.

### Example usage

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get this entity:

    +----+------+-----+
    | id | name | age |
    +----+------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ  |  40 |
    +----+------+-----+

existsBy :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => Unique record -> ReaderT backend m Bool #

Returns True if a record with this unique key exists, otherwise False.

### Example usage

    existsBySpjName :: MonadIO m  => ReaderT SqlBackend m Bool
    existsBySpjName = existsBy $ UniqueUserName "SPJ"

    spjEntExists <- existsBySpjName

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will return the value True.

Some functions in this module (`insertUnique`, `insertBy`, and `replaceUnique`) first query the unique indexes to check for conflicts. You could instead optimistically attempt to perform the operation (e.g. `replace` instead of `replaceUnique`). However,

- there is some fragility to trying to catch the correct exception and determing the column of failure;
- an exception will automatically abort the current SQL transaction.

upsert #

Arguments

:: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, OnlyOneUniqueKey record, SafeToInsert record) |
=> record | new record to insert
-> [Update record] | updates to perform if the record already exists
-> ReaderT backend m (Entity record) | the record in the database after the operation

Update based on a uniqueness constraint or insert:

- insert the new record if it does not exist;
- If the record exists (matched via it's uniqueness constraint), then update the existing record with the parameters which is passed on as list to the function.

### Example usage

Expand

First, we try to explain `upsert` using schema-1 and dataset-1.

    upsertSpj :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
    upsertSpj updates = upsert (User "SPJ" 999) updates

    mSpjEnt <- upsertSpj [UserAge +=. 15]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+-----+--------+
    |id   |name |age     |
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |1    |SPJ  |40 -> 55|
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |2    |Simon|41      |
    +-----+-----+--------+

    upsertX :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
    upsertX updates = upsert (User "X" 999) updates

    mXEnt <- upsertX [UserAge +=. 15]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +-----+-----+--------+
    |id   |name |age     |
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |1    |SPJ  |40      |
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |2    |Simon|41      |
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |3    |X    |999     |
    +-----+-----+--------+

Next, what if the schema has two uniqueness constraints? Let's check it out using schema-2:

    mSpjEnt <- upsertSpj [UserAge +=. 15]

This fails with a compile-time type error alerting us to the fact that this record has multiple unique keys, and suggests that we look for `upsertBy` to select the unique key we want.

upsertBy #

Arguments

:: forall record (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, SafeToInsert record) |
=> Unique record | uniqueness constraint to find by
-> record | new record to insert

-> ReaderT backend m (Entity record) | the record in the database after the operation

Update based on a given uniqueness constraint or insert:

- insert the new record if it does not exist;
- update the existing record that matches the given uniqueness constraint.

### Example usage

Expand

We try to explain `upsertBy` using schema-2 and dataset-1.

    upsertBySpjName :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
    upsertBySpjName record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "SPJ") record updates

    mSpjEnt <- upsertBySpjName (Person "X" 999) [PersonAge += .15]

The above query will alter dataset-1 to:

    +-----+-----+--------+
    |id   |name |age     |
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |1    |SPJ  |40 -> 55|
    +-----+-----+--------+
    |2    |Simon|41      |
    +-----+-----+--------+

    upsertBySimonAge :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
    upsertBySimonAge record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "SPJ") record updates

    mPhilipEnt <- upsertBySimonAge (User "X" 999) [UserName =. "Philip"]

The above query will alter dataset-1 to:

    +----+-----------------+-----+
    | id |      name       | age |
    +----+-----------------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ             |  40 |
    +----+-----------------+-----+
    |  2 | Simon -> Philip |  41 |
    +----+-----------------+-----+

    upsertByUnknownName :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
    upsertByUnknownName record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "Unknown") record updates

    mXEnt <- upsertByUnknownName (User "X" 999) [UserAge +=. 15]

This query will alter dataset-1 to:

    +-----+-----+-----+
    |id   |name |age  |
    +-----+-----+-----+
    |1    |SPJ  |40   |

Since: 2.10.0

Methods

requireUniquesP :: record -> NonEmpty (Unique record) #

getByValue :: forall record (m :: Type -> Type) backend. (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueRead backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend, AtLeastOneUniqueKey record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity record)) #

A modification of `getBy`, which takes the `PersistEntity` itself instead of a `Unique` record. Returns a record matching one of the unique keys. This function makes the most sense on entities with a single `Unique` constructor.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

getBySpjValue :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User)) getBySpjValue = getByValue $ User SPJ 999

    mSpjEnt <- getBySpjValue

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get this record:

    +----+------+-----+
    | id | name | age |
    +----+------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ  |  40 |
    +----+------+-----+

insertBy :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueWrite backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend, AtLeastOneUniqueKey record, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Either (Entity record) (Key record)) #

Insert a value, checking for conflicts with any unique constraints. If a duplicate exists in the database, it is returned as `Left`. Otherwise, the new 'Key is returned as `Right`.

### Example usage

Expand

With schema-2 and dataset-1, we have following lines of code:

    l1 <- insertBy $ User "SPJ" 20
    l2 <- insertBy $ User "XXX" 41
    l3 <- insertBy $ User "SPJ" 40
    r1 <- insertBy $ User "XXX" 100

First three lines return `Left` because there're duplicates in given record's uniqueness constraints. While the last line returns a new key as `Right`.

insertUniqueEntity :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueWrite backend, SafeToInsert record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity record)) #

Like `insertEntity`, but returns `Nothing` when the record couldn't be inserted because of a uniqueness constraint.

### Example usage

Expand

We use schema-2 and dataset-1 here.

    insertUniqueSpjEntity :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
    insertUniqueSpjEntity = insertUniqueEntity $ User "SPJ" 50

    mSpjEnt <- insertUniqueSpjEntity

The above query results `Nothing` as SPJ already exists.

    insertUniqueAlexaEntity :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
    insertUniqueAlexaEntity = insertUniqueEntity $ User "Alexa" 3

    mAlexaEnt <- insertUniqueSpjEntity

Because there's no such unique keywords of the given record, the above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

    +----+-------+-----+
    | id | name  | age |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  1 | SPJ   |  40 |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  2 | Simon |  41 |
    +----+-------+-----+
    |  3 | Alexa |   3 |
    +----+-------+-----+

replaceUnique :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, Eq (Unique record), PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueWrite backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record)) #

Attempt to replace the record of the given key with the given new record. First query the unique fields to make sure the replacement maintains uniqueness constraints.

Return `Nothing` if the replacement was made. If uniqueness is violated, return a `Just` with the `Unique` violation

Since: 1.2.2.0

checkUnique :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueRead backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record)) #

Check whether there are any conflicts for unique keys with this entity and existing entities in the database.

Returns `Nothing` if the entity would be unique, and could thus safely be inserted. on a conflict returns the conflicting key

### Example usage

Expand

We use schema-1 and dataset-1 here.

This would be `Nothing`:

    mAlanConst <- checkUnique $ User "Alan" 70

While this would be `Just` because SPJ already exists:

    mSpjConst <- checkUnique $ User "SPJ" 60

checkUniqueUpdateable :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueRead backend) => Entity record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record)) #

Check whether there are any conflicts for unique keys with this entity and existing entities in the database.

Returns `Nothing` if the entity would stay unique, and could thus safely be updated. on a conflict returns the conflicting key

This is similar to `checkUnique`, except it's useful for updating - when the particular entity already exists, it would normally conflict with itself. This variant ignores those conflicts

### Example usage

Expand

We use schema-1 and dataset-1 here.

This would be `Nothing`:

    mAlanConst <- checkUnique $ User "Alan" 70

While this would be `Just` because SPJ already exists:

    mSpjConst <- checkUnique $ User "SPJ" 60

Since: 2.11.0.0

onlyUnique :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueWrite backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend, OnlyOneUniqueKey record) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Unique record) #

Return the single unique key for a record.

### Example usage

Expand

We use shcema-1 and dataset-1 here.

    onlySimonConst :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Unique User)
    onlySimonConst = onlyUnique $ User "Simon" 999

    mSimonConst <- onlySimonConst

`mSimonConst` would be Simon's uniqueness constraint. Note that `onlyUnique` doesn't work if there're more than two constraints. It will fail with a type error instead.

# PersistQuery

The `PersistQuery` type class allows us to select lists and filter database models. `selectList` is the canonical read operation, and we can write `updateWhere` and `deleteWhere` to modify based on filters.

selectList :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (MonadIO m, PersistQueryRead backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => [Filter record] -> [SelectOpt record] -> ReaderT backend m [Entity record] #

Returns a `[`Entity` record]` corresponding to the filters and options provided.

Filters are constructed using the operators defined in Database.Persist (and re-exported from Database.Persist.Sql). Let's look at some examples:

    usersWithAgeOver40 :: SqlPersistT IO [Entity User]
    usersWithAgeOver40 =
        selectList [UserAge >=. 40] []

If you provide multiple values in the list, the conditions are `AND`ed together.

    usersWithAgeBetween30And50 :: SqlPersistT IO [Entity User]
    usersWithAgeBetween30And50 =
         selectList
             [ UserAge >=. 30
             , UserAge <=. 50
             ]
             []

The second list contains the `SelectOpt` for a record. We can select the first ten records with `LimitTo`

    firstTenUsers =
        selectList [] [LimitTo 10]

And we can select the second ten users with `OffsetBy`.

    secondTenUsers =
        selectList [] [LimitTo 10, OffsetBy 10]

Warning that LIMIT/OFFSET is bad for pagination!

The type of record can usually be infered from the types of the provided filters and select options. In the previous two examples, though, you'll notice that the select options are polymorphic, applying to any record type. In order to help type inference in such situations, or simply as an enhancement to readability, you might find type application useful, illustrated below.

    {-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
    ...

    firstTenUsers =
        selectList User [] [LimitTo 10]

    secondTenUsers =
        selectList User [] [LimitTo 10, OffsetBy 10]

With `Asc` and `Desc`, we can provide the field we want to sort on. We can provide multiple sort orders - later ones are used to sort records that are equal on the first field.

    newestUsers =
        selectList [] [Desc UserCreatedAt, LimitTo 10]

    oldestUsers =
        selectList [] [Asc UserCreatedAt, LimitTo 10]

selectKeys :: forall record backend (m :: Type -> Type). (PersistQueryRead backend, MonadResource m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, MonadReader backend m) => [Filter record] -> [SelectOpt record] -> ConduitM () (Key record) m () #

Get the `Key`s of all records matching the given criterion.

For an example, see `selectList`.

type PersistQuery a = PersistQueryWrite a #

A backwards-compatible alias for those that don't care about distinguishing between read and write queries. It signifies the assumption that, by default, a backend can write as well as read.

class (PersistCore backend, PersistStoreRead backend) => PersistQueryRead backend where #

Backends supporting conditional read operations.

# PersistEntity

class (PersistField (Key record), ToJSON (Key record), FromJSON (Key record), Show (Key record), Read (Key record), Eq (Key record), Ord (Key record)) => PersistEntity record where #

Persistent serialized Haskell records to the database. A Database `Entity` (A row in SQL, a document in MongoDB, etc) corresponds to a `Key` plus a Haskell record.

For every Haskell record type stored in the database there is a corresponding `PersistEntity` instance. An instance of PersistEntity contains meta-data for the record. PersistEntity also helps abstract over different record types. That way the same query interface can return a `PersistEntity`, with each query returning different types of Haskell records.

Some advanced type system capabilities are used to make this process type-safe. Persistent users usually don't need to understand the class associated data and functions.

fromPersistValues :: [PersistValue] -> Either Text record #

A lower-level operation to convert from database values to a Haskell record.

tabulateEntityA #

Arguments

:: Applicative f |
=> (forall a. EntityField record a -> f a) | A function that builds a fragment of a record in an `Applicative` context.
-> f (Entity record) |

This function allows you to build an ``Entity` a` by specifying an action that returns a value for the field in the callback function. Let's look at an example.

    parseFromEnvironmentVariables :: IO (Entity User)
    parseFromEnvironmentVariables =
        tabulateEntityA $ \userField ->
            case userField of
                UserName ->
                    getEnv USER_NAME
                UserAge -> do
                    ageVar <- getEnv USER_AGE
                    case readMaybe ageVar of
                        Just age ->
                            pure age
                        Nothing ->
                            error $ "Failed to parse Age from: " <> ageVar
                UserAddressId -> do
                    addressVar <- getEnv USER_ADDRESS_ID
                    pure $ AddressKey addressVar

persistUniqueKeys :: record -> [Unique record] #

A meta operation to retrieve all the `Unique` keys.

persistUniqueToFieldNames :: Unique record -> NonEmpty (FieldNameHS, FieldNameDB) #

A lower level operation.

persistUniqueToValues :: Unique record -> [PersistValue] #

A lower level operation.

fieldLens :: EntityField record field -> forall (f :: Type -> Type). Functor f => (field -> f field) -> Entity record -> f (Entity record) #

Use a `PersistField` as a lens.

keyFromRecordM :: Maybe (record -> Key record) #

Extract a ``Key` record` from a `record` value. Currently, this is only defined for entities using the `Primary` syntax for natural/composite keys. In a future version of `persistent` which incorporates the ID directly into the entity, this will always be Just.

Since: 2.11.0.0

tabulateEntity :: PersistEntity record => (forall a. EntityField record a -> a) -> Entity record #

Construct an ``Entity` record` by providing a value for each of the record's fields.

These constructions are equivalent:

    entityMattConstructor, entityMattTabulate :: Entity User
    entityMattConstructor =
        Entity
            { entityKey = toSqlKey 123
            , entityVal =
                User
                    { userName = Matt
                    , userAge = 33
                    }
            }

    entityMattTabulate =
        tabulateEntity $ \case
            UserId ->
                toSqlKey 123
            UserName ->
                Matt
            UserAge ->
                33

This is a specialization of `tabulateEntityA`, which allows you to construct an `Entity` by providing an `Applicative` action for each field instead of a regular function.

Since: 2.14.0.0

class SymbolToField (sym :: Symbol) rec typ | sym rec -> typ where #

This type class is used with the `OverloadedLabels` extension to provide a more convenient means of using the `EntityField` type. `EntityField` definitions are prefixed with the type name to avoid ambiguity, but this ambiguity can result in verbose code.

If you have a table `User` with a `name Text` field, then the corresponding `EntityField` is `UserName`. With this, we can write `#name :: `EntityField` User Text`.

What's more fun is that the type is more general: it's actually `#name :: (`SymbolToField` "name" rec typ) => EntityField rec typ`

Which means it is *polymorphic* over the actual record. This allows you to write code that can be generic over the tables, provided they have the right fields.

Since: 2.11.0.0

Methods

symbolToField :: EntityField rec typ #

# PersistField

class PersistField a where #

This class teaches Persistent how to take a custom type and marshal it to and from a `PersistValue`, allowing it to be stored in a database.

#### Examples

Expand

##### Simple Newtype

You can use `newtype` to add more type safety/readability to a basis type like `ByteString`. In these cases, just derive `PersistField` and `PersistFieldSql`:

    {-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}

    newtype HashedPassword = HashedPassword ByteString
      deriving (Eq, Show, PersistField, PersistFieldSql)

##### Smart Constructor Newtype

In this example, we create a `PersistField` instance for a newtype following the "Smart Constructor" pattern.

    {-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
    import qualified Data.Text as T
    import qualified Data.Char as C

    -- | An American Social Security Number
    newtype SSN = SSN Text
     deriving (Eq, Show, PersistFieldSql)

    mkSSN :: Text -> Either Text SSN
    mkSSN t = if (T.length t == 9) && (T.all C.isDigit t)
     then Right $ SSN t
     else Left $ "Invalid SSN: " <> t

    instance PersistField SSN where
      toPersistValue (SSN t) = PersistText t
      fromPersistValue (PersistText t) = mkSSN t
      -- Handle cases where the database does not give us PersistText
      fromPersistValue x = Left $ "File.hs: When trying to deserialize an SSN: expected PersistText, received: " <> T.pack (show x)

Tips:

- This file contain dozens of `PersistField` instances you can look at for examples.
- Typically custom `PersistField` instances will only accept a single `PersistValue` constructor in `fromPersistValue`.
- Internal `PersistField` instances accept a wide variety of `PersistValue`s to accomodate e.g. storing booleans as integers, booleans or strings.
- If you're making a custom instance and using a SQL database, you'll also need `PersistFieldSql` to specify the type of the database column.

liftPersist :: (MonadIO m, MonadReader backend m) => ReaderT backend IO b -> m b #

class BackendCompatible sup sub where #

This class witnesses that two backend are compatible, and that you can convert from the `sub` backend into the `sup` backend. This is similar to the `HasPersistBackend` and `IsPersistBackend` classes, but where you don't want to fix the type associated with the `PersistEntityBackend` of a record.

Generally speaking, where you might have:

    foo ::
      ( PersistEntity record
      , PersistEntityBackend record ~ BaseBackend backend
      , IsSqlBackend backend
      )

this can be replaced with:

    foo ::
      ( PersistEntity record,
      , PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend
      , BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend
      )

This works for `SqlReadBackend` because of the `instance `BackendCompatible` `SqlBackend` `SqlReadBackend``, without needing to go through the `BaseBackend` type family.

Likewise, functions that are currently hardcoded to use `SqlBackend` can be generalized:

    -- before:
    asdf :: ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
    asdf = pure ()

    -- after:
    asdf' :: BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend => ReaderT backend m ()
    asdf' = withCompatibleBackend asdf

class (PersistEntity record, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistCore backend) => ToBackendKey backend record where #

`ToBackendKey` converts a `PersistEntity` `Key` into a `BackendKey` This can be used by each backend to convert between a `Key` and a plain Haskell type. For Sql, that is done with `toSqlKey` and `fromSqlKey`.

By default, a `PersistEntity` uses the default `BackendKey` for its Key and is an instance of ToBackendKey

A `Key` that instead uses a custom type will not be an instance of `ToBackendKey`.

# JSON utilities

keyValueEntityToJSON :: (PersistEntity record, ToJSON record) => Entity record -> Value #

toPersistValueJSON :: ToJSON a => a -> PersistValue #

Convenience function for getting a free `PersistField` instance from a type with JSON instances.

    instance PersistField MyData where
      fromPersistValue = fromPersistValueJSON
      toPersistValue = toPersistValueJSON

fromPersistValueJSON :: FromJSON a => PersistValue -> Either Text a #

Convenience function for getting a free `PersistField` instance from a type with JSON instances. The JSON parser used will accept JSON values other that object and arrays. So, if your instance serializes the data to a JSON string, this will still work.

Example usage in combination with `toPersistValueJSON`:

    instance PersistField MyData where
      fromPersistValue = fromPersistValueJSON
      toPersistValue = toPersistValueJSON
