[![Build Status][TravisBadge]][TravisLink] [![CocoaPods Version][CocoaPodsVersionBadge]][CocoaPodsVersionLink] [![Swift4 compatible][Swift4Badge]][Swift4Link] [![Platform][PlatformBadge]][PlatformLink] [![Carthage compatible][CartagheBadge]][CarthageLink] [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/stephencelis/SQLite.swift][GitterBadge]][GitterLink]

A type-safe, [Swift][]-language layer over [SQLite3][].

[SQLite.swift][] provides compile-time confidence in SQL statement
syntax _and_ intent.

## Features

 - A pure-Swift interface
 - A type-safe, optional-aware SQL expression builder
 - A flexible, chainable, lazy-executing query layer
 - Automatically-typed data access
 - A lightweight, uncomplicated query and parameter binding interface
 - Developer-friendly error handling and debugging
 - [Full-text search][] support
 - [Well-documented][See Documentation]
 - Extensively tested
 - [SQLCipher][] support via CocoaPods
 - Active support at
   [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/sqlite.swift),
   and [Gitter Chat Room](https://gitter.im/stephencelis/SQLite.swift)
   (_experimental_)

## Usage

```swift
import SQLite

let db = try Connection("path/to/db.sqlite3")

let users = Table("users")
let id = Expression<Int64>("id")
let name = Expression<String?>("name")
let email = Expression<String>("email")

try db.run(users.create { t in
    t.column(id, primaryKey: true)
    t.column(name)
    t.column(email, unique: true)
})
// CREATE TABLE "users" (
//     "id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
//     "name" TEXT,
//     "email" TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE
// )

let insert = users.insert(name <- "Alice", email <- "alice@mac.com")
let rowid = try db.run(insert)
// INSERT INTO "users" ("name", "email") VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@mac.com')

for user in try db.prepare(users) {
    print("id: \(user[id]), name: \(user[name]), email: \(user[email])")
    // id: 1, name: Optional("Alice"), email: alice@mac.com
}
// SELECT * FROM "users"

let alice = users.filter(id == rowid)

try db.run(alice.update(email <- email.replace("mac.com", with: "me.com")))
// UPDATE "users" SET "email" = replace("email", 'mac.com', 'me.com')
// WHERE ("id" = 1)

try db.run(alice.delete())
// DELETE FROM "users" WHERE ("id" = 1)

try db.scalar(users.count) // 0
// SELECT count(*) FROM "users"
```

SQLite.swift also works as a lightweight, Swift-friendly wrapper over the C
API.

```swift
let stmt = try db.prepare("INSERT INTO users (email) VALUES (?)")
for email in ["betty@icloud.com", "cathy@icloud.com"] {
    try stmt.run(email)
}

db.totalChanges    // 3
db.changes         // 1
db.lastInsertRowid // 3

for row in try db.prepare("SELECT id, email FROM users") {
    print("id: \(row[0]), email: \(row[1])")
    // id: Optional(2), email: Optional("betty@icloud.com")
    // id: Optional(3), email: Optional("cathy@icloud.com")
}

try db.scalar("SELECT count(*) FROM users") // 2
```

## Installation

> _Note:_ SQLite.swift requires Swift 4 (and [Xcode][] 9).

### Carthage

[Carthage][] is a simple, decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa. To
install SQLite.swift with Carthage:

 1. Make sure Carthage is [installed][Carthage Installation].

 2. Update your Cartfile to include the following:

    ```ruby
    github "stephencelis/SQLite.swift" ~> 0.11.4
    ```

 3. Run `carthage update` and
    [add the appropriate framework][Carthage Usage].

[Carthage Installation]: https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage
[Carthage Usage]: https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#adding-frameworks-to-an-application


### CocoaPods

[CocoaPods][] is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. To install
SQLite.swift with CocoaPods:

 1. Make sure CocoaPods is [installed][CocoaPods Installation]. (SQLite.swift
    requires version 1.0.0 or greater.)

    ```sh
    # Using the default Ruby install will require you to use sudo when
    # installing and updating gems.
    [sudo] gem install cocoapods
    ```

 2. Update your Podfile to include the following:

    ```ruby
    use_frameworks!

    target 'YourAppTargetName' do
        pod 'SQLite.swift', '~> 0.11.4'
    end
    ```

 3. Run `pod install --repo-update`.

### Swift Package Manager

The [Swift Package Manager][] is a tool for managing the distribution of
Swift code.

1. Add the following to your `Package.swift` file:

  ```swift
  dependencies: [
      .package(url: "https://github.com/stephencelis/SQLite.swift.git", from: "0.11.4")
  ]
  ```

2. Build your project:

  ```sh
  $ swift build
  ```

### Manual

To install SQLite.swift as an Xcode sub-project:

 1. Drag the **SQLite.xcodeproj** file into your own project.
    ([Submodule][], clone, or [download][] the project first.)

    ![Installation Screen Shot](Documentation/Resources/installation@2x.png)

 2. In your target’s **General** tab, click the **+** button under **Linked
    Frameworks and Libraries**.

 3. Select the appropriate **SQLite.framework** for your platform.

 4. **Add**.

Some additional steps are required to install the application on an actual
device:

 5. In the **General** tab, click the **+** button under **Embedded
    Binaries**.

 6. Select the appropriate **SQLite.framework** for your platform.

 7. **Add**.
