2. Configuration

Project Dependencies

dbee is distributed through Clojars with the identifier tessellator/dbee. You can find the version information for the latest release at https://clojars.org/tessellator/dbee.

dbee does not make any assumptions about which database you are using. In order to connect to a database, you must provide a database adapter. You can find a list of adapters in the hikari-cp docs.

dbee requires Clojure 1.9 or later.

Logging

dbee uses tools.logging internally for logging debug and warn messages. In order to get these messages, you will need to configuration a specific logging implementation. Refer to the tools.logging README for more information.

As an example, you could include the following in your project dependencies:

[org.slf4j/slf4j-log4j12 <VERSION>]

If you do not configure logging, you will see some SLF4J warnings output and will not receive logs from dbee.

Base API

If you want to use the base dbee API, you must configure your database connection in the same way as java.jdbc. Some example usages can be found in the java.jdbc docs.

Following is an example using the base API at the REPL.

> (def pg-db {:dbtype "postgresql"
              :dbname "mydb"
              :host "localhost"
              :user "postgres"
              :password ""})
;; => #'user/pg-db

> (dbee.core/all pg-db {:from [:users] :select [:*])
;; => ({:id 1 :name "John" :username "jdoe"} ...)

> (dbee.core/get pg-db :users 1)
;; => {:id 1 :name "John" :username "jdoe"}

Local Database API

As discussed in the introduction, one of the use cases to create a local database API based on the functions provided in dbee.core. The local API will contain a HikariCP connection pool and wrappers around the dbee query functions. [[dbee.core/defdb]] generates the API in the calling namespace.

defdb accepts a configuration map as its argument. The map will be evaluated in a delay so you can load some the data after the application has started. This is useful for loading credentials from somewhere outside your application.

The configuration map may include the following:

  • hikari-cp configuration options

    Refer to the hikari-cp docs. It should be noted that dbee does not make any assumptions about which adapter you are using, so you must provide the specific dependency in your project. This is the same behavior as hikari-cp.

  • :row-fn

    A function to be executed on every query unless overridden. An example of how you might want to use this is to convert all keys in records returned from queries from snake_case to kebab-case. This value can be overridden by providing a different :row-fn function in the opts map of a query function. Defaults to identity.

  • :long-running-threshold

    The number of milliseconds to use as a long-running threshold. If queries exceed this value, a warning will be logged that includes the query and the run time. This value can be overridden by providing a different value for :long-running-threshold in the opts map of a query function. Defaults to 500.

Following is a sample configuration of building a local database API with a PostgreSQL database. The :row-fn will ensure only kebab-cased keys are returned from queries (they are snake_case by default), and the :long-running-threshold will log warnings for queries taking longer than 250ms instead of the default 500ms.

(ns myproject.db
  (:refer-clojure :exclude [get update])
  (:require [camel-snake-kebab.core :as csk]
            [camel-snake-kebab.extras :as cske]
            [dbee.core :refer [defdb]]))

(defdb {:adapter "postgresql"
        :database-name "mydb"
        :server-name "localhost"
        :username "postgres"
        :password ""
        :maximum-pool-size 10
        :row-fn (partial cske/transform-keys csk/->kebab-case)
        :long-running-threshold 250}

Following is an example using the local database API on the REPL. Note that the only difference from the base dbee API is that the local database API does not require you to provide a database connection.

> (require '[myproject.db :as db])
;; => nil

> (dbee.core/all {:from [:users] :select [:*])
;; => ({:id 1 :name "John" :username "jdoe"} ...)

> (dbee.core/get :users 1)
;; => {:id 1 :name "John" :username "jdoe"}
