Stormberry

A strongly-typed postgres ORM to provide easy bindings between your dart classes and postgres database. It supports all kinds of relations without any complex configuration.

---

This package is still in active development. If you have any feedback or feature requests, write me and issue on github.

Quick Start

To get started, add stormberry as a dependency and build_runner as a dev dependency:

dart pub add stormberry
dart pub add build_runner --dev

In your code, specify an abstract class that should act as a table like this:

// This file is "model.dart"
import 'package:stormberry/stormberry.dart';

// Will be generated by stormberry
part 'model.schema.dart';

@Model()
abstract class User {
  @PrimaryKey()
  String get id;

  String get name;
}

In order to generate the database code, run the following command:

dart run build_runner build

Tip: You'll need to re-run code generation each time you are making changes to your models. During development, you can use watch to automatically watch your changes: dart pub run build_runner watch.

This will generate a .schema.dart file that you should add as a part to the original model file.

---

Before running your application, you have to migrate your database. To do this run:

dart run stormberry migrate

This will ask you for the connection details of your postgres database and then migrate the database schema by adding the users table.

---

To access your database from your application, create a Database instance and use the users repository like this:

void main() async {
  
  var db = Database(
    // connection parameters go here
  );
  
  // adds a user to the 'users' table
  await db.users.insertOne(UserInsertRequest(id: 'abc', name: 'Alex'));
  
  // finds a user by its 'id'
  var user = await db.users.queryUser('abc');
  
  assert(user.name == 'Alex');
}
