Native DB

Here's a drop-in, fast, embedded database for multi-platform apps (server, desktop, mobile). Sync Rust types effortlessly. Enjoy! 😌🍃.

Features

• Simple API 🦀.
• Support for multiple indexes (primary, secondary, unique, non-unique, optional).
• Fast, see sqlite vs redb vs native_db benchmarks.
• Transparent serialization/deserialization using native_model. You can use any serialization library you want (bincode, postcard, your own etc.).
• Ensure query type safety to prevent unexpected results caused by selecting with an incorrect type.
• Automatic model migration 🌟.
• Thread-safe and fully ACID-compliant transactions provided by redb.
• Real-time subscription with filters for insert, update and delete operations.
• Compatible with all Rust types (enum, struct, tuple etc.).
• Hot snapshots.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
native_db = "0.8.1"
native_model = "0.4.20"

NOTE: native_db requires native_model to work.

Status

Active development. The API is not stable yet and may change in the future.

How to use?

• Documentation API
• Quick Start

Example

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use native_db::*;
use native_model::{native_model, Model};
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[native_model(id = 1, version = 1)]
#[native_db]
struct Item {
    #[primary_key]
    id: u32,
    #[secondary_key]
    name: String,
}

// Define the models
// The lifetime of the models needs to be longer or equal to the lifetime of the database.
// In many cases, it is simpler to use a static variable but it is not mandatory.
static MODELS: Lazy<Models> = Lazy::new(|| {
    let mut models = Models::new();
    models.define::<Item>().unwrap();
    models
});

fn main() -> Result<(), db_type::Error> {
    // Create a database in memory
    let mut db = Builder::new().create_in_memory(&MODELS)?;
    
    // Insert data (open a read-write transaction)
    let rw = db.rw_transaction()?;
    rw.insert(Item { id: 1, name: "red".to_string() })?;
    rw.insert(Item { id: 2, name: "green".to_string() })?;
    rw.insert(Item { id: 3, name: "blue".to_string() })?;
    rw.commit()?;
    
    // Open a read-only transaction
    let r = db.r_transaction()?;
    // Retrieve data with id=3 
    let retrieve_data: Item = r.get().primary(3_u32)?.unwrap();
    println!("data id='3': {:?}", retrieve_data);
    // Iterate items with name starting with "red"
    for item in r.scan().secondary::<Item>(ItemKey::name)?.start_with("red")? {
        println!("data name=\"red\": {:?}", item);
    }
    
    // Remove data (open a read-write transaction)
    let rw = db.rw_transaction()?;
    rw.remove(retrieve_data)?;
    rw.commit()?;
    Ok(())
