About SurrealDB

SurrealDB official docs
SurrealDB Github

SurrealDB is a next-generation database built on Rust that can handle all type of data structures-relational, document, and graph-and can run in-memory, on a single node, or in a distributed environment.
It's response is JSON and allographer return as JsonNode.

Create Connection

to index

import allographer/connection

let maxConnections = 95
let timeout = 30
let surreal = dbOpen(SurrealDb, "test", "test", "user", "pass", "http://surreal", 8000, maxConnections, timeout, true, true).await()

SurrealId type

The SurrealId type is used to handle SurrealDB Record IDs. It has the table name and id data.
insertId returns SurrealId response and can be used as an argument to the where and find clauses.

Nim API document
SurrealDB Official document

let aliceId = surreal.table("user").insertId(%*{"name": "alice"}).await
let aliceOpt = surreal.table("user").where("name", "=", "alice").first().await
let alice = aliceOpt.get()
check aliceId.rawId() == alice["id"].getStr()
check aliceId.table == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[0]
check $aliceId == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[1]

let alice2 = SurrealId.new(aliceId.rawId())
check alice2.rawId() == alice["id"].getStr()
check alice2.table == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[0]
check $alice2 == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[1]

let alice3 = SurrealId.new(aliceId.table, $aliceId)
check alice3.rawId() == alice["id"].getStr()
check alice3.table == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[0]
check $alice3 == alice["id"].getStr().split(":")[1]

SELECT

When it returns following table

INSERT INTO `type` [
  {"bool":true,"string":"alice","int":1,"float":3.14,"datetime":"2023-06-05T11:58:42+00:00"},
  {"bool":false,"string":"bob","int":2,"float":1.11,"datetime":"2023-06-06T11:58:42+00:00"}
]

bool	string	int	float	datetime
true	alice	1	3.14	2023-06-05T11:58:42+00:00
false	bob	2	1.11	2023-06-06T11:58:42+00:00

get

Retrieving all row from a table

import allographer/query_builder

echo surreal.table("user").get().await

DEBUG SELECT * FROM `type`

@[
  {
    "bool":true,
    "datetime":"2023-06-05T12:05:07Z",
    "float":3.14,
    "id":"type:9nxye3dons0juyelv5if",
    "int":1,
    "string":"alice"
    },

    ,"float":1.11,
    "id":"type:tw9iqdycdz9h1egtjkwb",
    "int":2,
    "string":"bob"
  }
]

first

Retrieving a single row from a table. This returns Option[JsonNode]

let res = surreal.table("type").first().await
if res.isSome():
  echo firstRes.get()

DEBUG SELECT * FROM `type` LIMIT 1

{
  "bool":true,
  "datetime":"2023-06-05T12:08:47Z",
  "float":3.14,
  "id":"type:64t0w6gpnye7tdf083ch",
  "int":1,
  "string":"alice"
}

find

Retrieve a single row by id. This returns Option[JsonNode]
Id should be SurrealId type.
https://itsumura-h.github.io/nim-allographer/query_builder/surreal/surreal_types.html#SurrealId

let id = SurrealId.new("type:64t0w6gpnye7tdf083ch")
let res = surreal.table("type").find(id).await
if res.isSome():
  echo res.get()

DEBUG SELECT * FROM `type` WHERE `id` = ? LIMIT 1 ["type:64t0w6gpnye7tdf083ch"]

  "float":3.14,
  "id":"type:64t0w6gpnye7tdf083ch",
  "int":1,
  "string":"alice"
}

columns

Retrieve columns from table.

let columns = surreal.table("users").columns().await
columns == @["email", "name", "id"]

where

user

id	name	email

  "id": "user:iss5w0fp4x3o08t2br3s",
  "name": "alice"
}

fetch

Fetch and replace records with the remote record data.
It is used for retrieve relational tables.

Raw Query

to index

raw() returns RawQuerySurrealDb type.
You can use get(), first(), exec() and info() for raw query.
get() returns all rows of result.
first() returns first row of result.
exec() executes query and not return any variables.
info() executes query and returns all data of response.
