Type Generation

Using the type generator feature you'll be able to automatically create structs for all of your types defined in the schema.

Generating Types#

At this stage the generator is not a fully fledged cli command, hence you'll need to invoke it in your own space.

schema := dql.NewSchema()

schema.Type("User", func(user *dql.TypeBuilder) {
    user.String("name")
    user.String("surname")
    user.DateTime("birthday")
    user.Password("password")
})

schema.Type("Tag", func(tag *dql.TypeBuilder) {
    tag.String("name")
    tag.Type("posts", "Post").Reverse()
})

schema.Type("Post", func(post *dql.TypeBuilder) {
    post.String("title").Lang()
    post.String("content")
    post.Bool("published")
    post.DateTime("created_at")
    post.Type("tags", "Tag").Reverse().List()
    post.Int("views")
})

err := dql.GenerateTypes(schema, dql.GeneratorOption{
    Path:        "your_path/models/models.go",
    PackageName: "models",
})

It will generate
