NAME

   Mojo::SQLite - A tiny Mojolicious wrapper for SQLite

SYNOPSIS

     use Mojo::SQLite;

     # Select the library version
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new('sqlite:test.db');
     say $sql->db->query('select sqlite_version() as version')->hash->{version};

     # Use migrations to create a table
     $sql->migrations->name('my_names_app')->from_string(<<EOF)->migrate;
     -- 1 up
     create table names (id integer primary key autoincrement, name text);
     -- 1 down
     drop table names;
     EOF

     # Use migrations to drop and recreate the table
     $sql->migrations->migrate(0)->migrate;

     # Get a database handle from the cache for multiple queries

       $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Sara');
       $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Stefan');
       $tx->commit;
     };
     say $@ if $@;

     # Insert another row with SQL::Abstract and return the generated id
     say $db->insert('names', {name => 'Daniel'})->last_insert_id;

     # JSON roundtrip
     say $db->query('select ? as foo', {json => {bar => 'baz'}})
       ->expand(json => 'foo')->hash->{foo}{bar};

     # Select one row at a time
     my $results = $db->query('select * from names');
     while (my $next = $results->hash) {
       say $next->{name};
     }

     # Select all rows with SQL::Abstract
     say $_->{name} for $db->select('names')->hashes->each;

DESCRIPTION

   Mojo::SQLite is a tiny wrapper around DBD::SQLite that makes SQLite
   <https://www.sqlite.org/> a lot of fun to use with the Mojolicious
   <https://mojolico.us> real-time web framework. Use all SQL features
   <http://sqlite.org/lang.html> SQLite has to offer, generate CRUD
   queries from data structures, and manage your database schema with
   migrations.

BASICS

   Database and statement handles are cached automatically, so they can be
   reused transparently to increase performance. And you can handle
   connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to them only for short
   amounts of time.

     use Mojolicious::Lite;
     use Mojo::SQLite;

     helper sqlite => sub { state $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new('sqlite:test.db') };

     get '/' => sub {
       my $c  = shift;
       my $db = $c->sqlite->db;
       $c->render(json => $db->query('select datetime("now","localtime") as now')->hash);
     };

     app->start;

   In this example application, we create a sqlite helper to store a
   Mojo::SQLite object. Our action calls that helper and uses the method
   "db" in Mojo::SQLite to dequeue a Mojo::SQLite::Database object from
   the connection pool. Then we use the method "query" in
   Mojo::SQLite::Database to execute an SQL
   <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql.html> statement,
   which returns a Mojo::SQLite::Results object. And finally we call the
   method "hash" in Mojo::SQLite::Results to retrieve the first row as a
   hash reference.

   All I/O and queries are performed synchronously. However, the
   "Write-Ahead Log" journal is enabled for all connections, allowing
   multiple processes to read and write concurrently to the same database
   file (but only one can write at a time). You can prevent this mode from
   being enabled by passing the option no_wal, but note that this is
   incompatible with SQLite databases that have already had WAL mode
   enabled. See http://sqlite.org/wal.html and "journal_mode" in
   DBD::SQLite for more information.

     # Performed concurrently
     my $pid = fork || die $!;
     say $sql->db->query('select datetime("now","localtime") as time')->hash->{time};
     exit unless $pid;

   All cached database handles will be reset automatically if a new
   process has been forked, this allows multiple processes to share the
   same Mojo::SQLite object safely.

   Any database errors will throw an exception as RaiseError is
   automatically enabled, so use eval or Try::Tiny to catch them. This
   makes transactions with "begin" in Mojo::SQLite::Database easy.

   While passing a file path of :memory: (or a custom "dsn" with
   mode=memory) will create a temporary database, in-memory databases
   cannot be shared between connections, so subsequent calls to "db" may
   return connections to completely different databases. For a temporary
   database that can be shared between connections and processes, pass a
   file path of :temp: to store the database in a temporary directory
   (this is the default), or consider constructing a temporary directory
   yourself with File::Temp if you need to reuse the filename. A temporary
   directory allows SQLite to create additional temporary files
   <https://www.sqlite.org/tempfiles.html> safely.

     use File::Spec::Functions 'catfile';
     use File::Temp;
     use Mojo::SQLite;
     my $tempdir = File::Temp->newdir; # Deleted when object goes out of scope
     my $tempfile = catfile $tempdir, 'test.db';
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new->from_filename($tempfile);

   SQL::Abstract::Pg can provide additional features to the SQL::Abstract
   query methods in Mojo::SQLite::Database. The on_conflict and for
   features are not applicable to SQLite queries.

     use SQL::Abstract::Pg;
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new(abstract => SQL::Abstract::Pg->new(name_sep => '.', quote_char => '"'));
     $sql->db->select(['some_table', ['other_table', foo_id => 'id']],
       ['foo', [bar => 'baz'], \q{datetime('now') as dt}],
       {foo => 'value'},
       {order_by => 'foo', limit => 10, offset => 5, group_by => ['foo'], having => {baz => 'value'}});

EXAMPLES

   This distribution also contains a well-structured example blog
   application
   <https://github.com/Grinnz/Mojo-SQLite/tree/master/examples/blog> you
   can use for inspiration. This application shows how to apply the MVC
   design pattern in practice.

EVENTS

   Mojo::SQLite inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit
   the following new ones.

connection

     $sql->on(connection => sub {
       my ($sql, $dbh) = @_;
       $dbh->do('pragma journal_size_limit=1000000');
     });

   Emitted when a new database connection has been established.

ATTRIBUTES

   Mojo::SQLite implements the following attributes.

abstract

     my $abstract = $sql->abstract;
     $sql         = $sql->abstract(SQL::Abstract->new);

   SQL::Abstract object used to generate CRUD queries for
   Mojo::SQLite::Database, defaults to setting name_sep to . and
   quote_char to ". SQL::Abstract::Pg may be used to provide additional
   features.

     # Generate WHERE clause and bind values
     my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->abstract->where({foo => 'bar', baz => 'yada'});

auto_migrate

     my $bool = $sql->auto_migrate;
     $sql     = $sql->auto_migrate($bool);

   Automatically migrate to the latest database schema with "migrations",
   as soon as "db" has been called for the first time.

database_class

     my $class = $sql->database_class;
     $sql      = $sql->database_class('MyApp::Database');

   Class to be used by "db", defaults to Mojo::SQLite::Database. Note that
   this class needs to have already been loaded before "db" is called.

dsn

     my $dsn = $sql->dsn;
     $sql    = $sql->dsn('dbi:SQLite:uri=file:foo.db');

   Data source name, defaults to dbi:SQLite:dbname= followed by a path to
   a temporary file.

max_connections

     my $max = $sql->max_connections;
     $sql    = $sql->max_connections(3);

   Maximum number of idle database handles to cache for future use,
   defaults to 1.

migrations

     my $migrations = $sql->migrations;
     $sql           = $sql->migrations(Mojo::SQLite::Migrations->new);

   Mojo::SQLite::Migrations object you can use to change your database
   schema more easily.

     # Load migrations from file and migrate to latest version
     $sql->migrations->from_file('/home/dbook/migrations.sql')->migrate;

options

     my $options = $sql->options;
     $sql        = $sql->options({AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1});

   Options for database handles, defaults to activating sqlite_unicode,
   AutoCommit, AutoInactiveDestroy as well as RaiseError and deactivating
   PrintError. Note that AutoCommit and RaiseError are considered
   mandatory, so deactivating them would be very dangerous. See
   "ATTRIBUTES COMMON TO ALL HANDLES" in DBI and "DRIVER PRIVATE
   ATTRIBUTES" in DBD::SQLite for more information on available options.

parent

     my $parent = $sql->parent;
     $sql       = $sql->parent(Mojo::SQLite->new);

   Another Mojo::SQLite object to use for connection management, instead
   of establishing and caching our own database connections.

METHODS

   Mojo::SQLite inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and
   implements the following new ones.

new

     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new;
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new('file:test.db);
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new('sqlite:test.db');
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new(Mojo::SQLite->new);

   Construct a new Mojo::SQLite object and parse connection string with
   "from_string" if necessary.

     # Customize configuration further
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new->dsn('dbi:SQLite:dbname=test.db');
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new->dsn('dbi:SQLite:uri=file:test.db?mode=memory');

     # Pass filename directly
     my $sql = Mojo::SQLite->new->from_filename($filename);

db

     my $db = $sql->db;

   Get a database object based on "database_class" (which is usually
   Mojo::SQLite::Database) for a cached or newly established database
   connection. The DBD::SQLite database handle will be automatically
   cached again when that object is destroyed, so you can handle problems
   like connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to it only for short
   amounts of time.

     # Add up all the money
     say $sql->db->select('accounts')
       ->hashes->reduce(sub { $a->{money} + $b->{money} });

from_filename

     $sql = $sql->from_filename('C:\\Documents and Settings\\foo & bar.db', $options);

   Parse database filename directly. Unlike "from_string", the filename is
   parsed as a local filename and not a URL. A hashref of "options" may be
   passed as the second argument.

     # Absolute filename
     $sql->from_filename('/home/fred/data.db');

     # Relative to current directory
     $sql->from_filename('data.db');

     # Temporary file database (default)
     $sql->from_filename(':temp:');

     # In-memory temporary database (single connection only)
     my $db = $sql->from_filename(':memory:')->db;

     # Additional options
     $sql->from_filename($filename, { PrintError => 1 });

     # Readonly connection without WAL mode
     $sql->from_filename($filename, { ReadOnly => 1, no_wal => 1 });

from_string

     $sql = $sql->from_string('test.db');
     $sql = $sql->from_string('file:test.db');
     $sql = $sql->from_string('file:///C:/foo/bar.db');
     $sql = $sql->from_string('sqlite:C:%5Cfoo%5Cbar.db');
     $sql = $sql->from_string(Mojo::SQLite->new);

   Parse configuration from connection string or use another Mojo::SQLite
   object as "parent". Connection strings are parsed as URLs, so you
   should construct them using a module like Mojo::URL, URI::file, or
   URI::db. For portability on non-Unix-like systems, either construct the
   URL with the sqlite scheme, or use "new" in URI::file to construct a
   URL with the file scheme. A URL with no scheme will be parsed as a file
   URL, and file URLs are parsed according to the current operating
   system. If specified, the hostname must be localhost. If the URL has a
   query string, it will be parsed and applied to "options".

     # Absolute filename
     $sql->from_string('sqlite:////home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('sqlite://localhost//home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('sqlite:/home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('file:///home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('file://localhost/home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('file:/home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('///home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('//localhost/home/fred/data.db');
     $sql->from_string('/home/fred/data.db');

     # Relative to current directory
     $sql->from_string('sqlite:data.db');
     $sql->from_string('file:data.db');
     $sql->from_string('data.db');

     # Connection string must be a valid URL
     $sql->from_string(Mojo::URL->new->scheme('sqlite')->path($filename));
     $sql->from_string(URI::db->new->Mojo::Base::tap(engine => 'sqlite')->Mojo::Base::tap(dbname => $filename));
     $sql->from_string(URI::file->new($filename));

     # Temporary file database (default)
     $sql->from_string(':temp:');

     # In-memory temporary database (single connection only)
     my $db = $sql->from_string(':memory:')->db;

     # Additional options
     $sql->from_string('data.db?PrintError=1&sqlite_allow_multiple_statements=1');
     $sql->from_string(Mojo::URL->new->scheme('sqlite')->path($filename)->query(sqlite_see_if_its_a_number => 1));
     $sql->from_string(URI::file->new($filename)->Mojo::Base::tap(query_form => {PrintError => 1}));

     # Readonly connection without WAL mode
     $sql->from_string('data.db?ReadOnly=1&no_wal=1');

DEBUGGING

   You can set the DBI_TRACE environment variable to get some advanced
   diagnostics information printed by DBI.

     DBI_TRACE=1
