ormed_postgres 0.1.0-dev+3

PostgreSQL adapter for the routed ORM driver interface.

ormed_postgres

PostgreSQL driver adapter for the ormed ORM. Implements the DriverAdapter contract, compiling query plans into SQL and executing them via package:postgres (v3).

Features

• Full PostgreSQL type support (UUID, JSONB, arrays, geometric types, etc.)
• Native RETURNING clause support
• Full-text search with tsvector/tsquery
• Range types (int4range, daterange, tsrange, etc.)
• Transaction support with nested savepoints
• Schema introspection and migration support
• Connection pooling with role-based handles

Installation

dependencies:
  ormed: any
  ormed_postgres: any

Quick Start

import 'package:ormed/ormed.dart';
import 'package:ormed_postgres/ormed_postgres.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final adapter = PostgresDriverAdapter.fromUrl(
    'postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/mydb',
  );
  
  final registry = ModelRegistry()..register(UserOrmDefinition.definition);
  final context = QueryContext(
    registry: registry,
    driver: adapter,
    codecRegistry: adapter.codecs,
  );

  await adapter.executeRaw(
    'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users '
    '(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, email TEXT NOT NULL)',
  );

  await context.repository<\$User>().insert(
    \$User(email: '[e-mail]'),
  );

  final users = await context.query<\$User>().get();
  print(users.first.email);
  
  await adapter.close();
}

Adapter Constructors

// From connection URL
PostgresDriverAdapter.fromUrl('postgres://user:pass@host:port/database')

// Local development (insecure)
PostgresDriverAdapter.insecureLocal(
  database: 'mydb',
  username: 'postgres',
  password: 'postgres',
)

// Custom configuration
PostgresDriverAdapter.custom(config: DatabaseConfig(
  driver: 'postgres',
  options: {
    'host': 'localhost',
    'port': 5432,
    'database': 'mydb',
    'username': 'user',
    'password': 'secret',
    'sslmode': 'require',
    'timezone': 'UTC',
    'connectTimeout': 30000,
    'applicationName': 'my_app',
  },
))

PostgreSQL-Specific Types

The adapter includes value types and codecs for PostgreSQL-specific data:

Dart Type	PostgreSQL Type
UuidValue	UUID
Decimal	NUMERIC/DECIMAL
Duration	INTERVAL
PgInet	INET
PgCidr	CIDR
PgMacAddress	MACADDR/MACADDR8
PgVector	VECTOR (pgvector)
PgBitString	BIT/VARBIT
PgMoney	MONEY
TsVector	TSVECTOR
TsQuery	TSQUERY
IntRange	INT4RANGE/INT8RANGE
DateRange	DATERANGE
DateTimeRange	TSRANGE/TSTZRANGE
Point, Line, Box, etc.	Geometric types

Array Types

List<String>    → TEXT[]
List<int>       → INTEGER[]
List<double>    → DOUBLE PRECISION[]
List<bool>      → BOOLEAN[]
List<DateTime>  → TIMESTAMPTZ[]
List<UuidValue> → UUID[]

Migration Extensions

import 'package:ormed_postgres/migrations.dart';

schema.create('documents', (table) {
  table.id();
  
  // Network types
  table.inet('ip_address');
  table.cidr('network');
  table.macaddr('mac');
  
  // Full-text search
  table.tsvector('search_vector');
  table.tsquery('search_query');
  
  // Temporal
  table.interval('duration');
  table.timetz('event_time');
  
  // Range types
  table.int4range('quantity_range');
  table.daterange('validity_period');
  table.tstzrange('booking_window');
  
  // Other
  table.money('price');
  table.xml('config');
  table.bit('flags', length: 8);
  
  // Geometric
  table.point('location');
  table.polygon('area');
  table.circle('radius');
});

Full-Text Search

// Query with full-text search
final results = await ds.query<\$Article>()
    .whereRaw("search_vector @@ plainto_tsquery('english', ?)", ['dart orm'])
    .get();

// Create search index
schema.create('articles', (table) {
  table.id();
  table.string('title');
  table.text('body');
  table.tsvector('search_vector');
  
  table.index(['search_vector'], type: IndexType.gin);
});

JSON/JSONB Operations

// Query JSONB fields
final users = await ds.query<\$User>()
    .whereJson('settings', '$.theme', 'dark')
    .whereJsonContains('tags', ['premium'])
    .get();

// Update JSONB
await ds.query<\$User>()
    .whereEquals('id', 1)
    .jsonSet('settings', '$.notifications', false);

Docker Setup for Testing

# Start PostgreSQL container
docker compose -f packages/ormed_postgres/docker-compose.yml up -d

# Set connection URL
export POSTGRES_URL="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:6543/orm_test"

# Run tests
dart test packages/ormed_postgres

# Cleanup
docker compose -f packages/ormed_postgres/docker-compose.yml down -v

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    ports:
      - "6543:5432"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: orm_test

Schema Operations

// Dump schema using pg_dump
await adapter.dumpSchema(File('schema.sql'));

// Load schema using psql
await adapter.loadSchema(File('schema.sql'));

// Introspection
final schemas = await adapter.listSchemas();
final tables = await adapter.listTables(schema: 'public');
final columns = await adapter.listColumns('users');
final indexes = await adapter.listIndexes('users');
final foreignKeys = await adapter.listForeignKeys('posts');
