Synopsis

Documentation

class (PersistEntity record, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistCore backend) => ToBackendKey backend record where #

ToBackendKey converts a PersistEntity Key into a BackendKey This can be used by each backend to convert between a Key and a plain Haskell type. For Sql, that is done with toSqlKey and fromSqlKey.

By default, a PersistEntity uses the default BackendKey for its Key and is an instance of ToBackendKey

A Key that instead uses a custom type will not be an instance of ToBackendKey.

Methods

toBackendKey :: Key record -> BackendKey backend #

fromBackendKey :: BackendKey backend -> Key record #

We try to explain upsertBy using schema-1 and dataset-1.

First, we insert Philip to dataset-1.

insertPhilip :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Key User)
insertPhilip = insert $ User "Philip" 42
philipId <- insertPhilip

This query will produce:

repsertHaskell :: MonadIO m => Key record -> ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
repsertHaskell id = repsert id $ User "Haskell" 81
repsertHaskell philipId

This query will replace Philip's record with Haskell's one:

PersistUnique

All the examples present here will be explained based on these two schemas and the dataset:

schema-1

This schema has single unique constraint.

share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistLowerCase|
User
    name String
    age Int
    UniqueUserName name
    deriving Show
|]

schema-2

This schema has two unique constraints.

share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistLowerCase|
User
    name String
    age Int
    UniqueUserName name
    UniqueUserAge age
    deriving Show

+-----+-----+-----+

type PersistUnique a = PersistUniqueWrite a #

A backwards-compatible alias for those that don't care about distinguishing between read and write queries. It signifies the assumption that, by default, a backend can write as well as read.

class (PersistCore backend, PersistStoreRead backend) => PersistUniqueRead backend where #

Queries against Unique keys (other than the id Key).

Please read the general Persistent documentation to learn how to create Unique keys.

Using this with an Entity without a Unique key leads to undefined behavior. A few of these functions require a single Unique, so using an Entity with multiple Uniques is also undefined. In these cases persistent's goal is to throw an exception as soon as possible, but persistent is still transitioning to that.

SQL backends automatically create uniqueness constraints, but for MongoDB you must manually place a unique index on a field to have a uniqueness constraint.

Some functions in this module (insertUnique, insertBy, and replaceUnique) first query the unique indexes to check for conflicts. You could instead optimistically attempt to perform the operation (e.g. replace instead of replaceUnique). However,

  • there is some fragility to trying to catch the correct exception and determing the column of failure;
  • an exception will automatically abort the current SQL transaction.

linusId <- insertUnique $ User "Linus" 48
spjId   <- insertUnique $ User "SPJ" 90
+-----+------+-----+
|id   |name  |age  |
+-----+------+-----+
|1    |SPJ   |40   |
+-----+------+-----+
|2    |Simon |41   |
+-----+------+-----+
|3    |Linus |48   |
+-----+------+-----+

Linus's record was inserted to dataset-1, while SPJ wasn't because SPJ already exists in dataset-1.

upsert #

Arguments

:: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) 
=> record

new record to insert

-> [Update record]

updates to perform if the record already exists

-> ReaderT backend m (Entity record)

the record in the database after the operation

Update based on a uniqueness constraint or insert:

  • insert the new record if it does not exist;
  • If the record exists (matched via it's uniqueness constraint), then update the existing record with the parameters which is passed on as list to the function.

Throws an exception if there is more than 1 uniqueness constraint.

Example usage

Expand

First, we try to explain upsert using schema-1 and dataset-1.

upsertSpj :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
upsertSpj updates = upsert (User "SPJ" 999) upadtes
mSpjEnt <- upsertSpj [UserAge +=. 15]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

+-----+-----+--------+
|id   |name |age     |
+-----+-----+--------+
|1    |SPJ  |40 -> 55|
+-----+-----+--------+
|2    |Simon|41      |
+-----+-----+--------+
upsertX :: MonadIO m => [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
upsertX updates = upsert (User "X" 999) upadtes
mXEnt <- upsertX [UserAge +=. 15]

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

+-----+-----+--------+
|id   |name |age     |
+-----+-----+--------+
|1    |SPJ  |40      |
+-----+-----+--------+
|2    |Simon|41      |
+-----+-----+--------+
|3    |X    |999     |
+-----+-----+--------+

Next, what if the schema has two uniqueness constraints? Let's check it out using schema-2:

mSpjEnt <- upsertSpj [UserAge +=. 15]

Then, it throws an error message something like "Expected only one unique key, got"

upsertBy #

Arguments

:: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend) 
=> Unique record

uniqueness constraint to find by

-> record

new record to insert

-> [Update record]

updates to perform if the record already exists

-> ReaderT backend m (Entity record)

the record in the database after the operation

Update based on a given uniqueness constraint or insert:

  • insert the new record if it does not exist;
  • update the existing record that matches the given uniqueness constraint.

Example usage

Expand

We try to explain upsertBy using schema-2 and dataset-1.

upsertBySpjName :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
upsertBySpjName record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "SPJ") record updates
mSpjEnt <- upsertBySpjName (Person "X" 999) [PersonAge += .15]

The above query will alter dataset-1 to:

+-----+-----+--------+
|id   |name |age     |
+-----+-----+--------+
|1    |SPJ  |40 -> 55|
+-----+-----+--------+
|2    |Simon|41      |
+-----+-----+--------+
upsertBySimonAge :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
upsertBySimonAge record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "SPJ") record updates
mPhilipEnt <- upsertBySimonAge (User "X" 999) [UserName =. "Philip"]

The above query will alter dataset-1 to:

+----+-----------------+-----+
| id |      name       | age |
+----+-----------------+-----+
|  1 | SPJ             |  40 |

upsertByUnknownName :: MonadIO m => User -> [Update User] -> ReaderT SqlBackend m (Entity User)
upsertByUnknownName record updates = upsertBy (UniqueUserName "Unknown") record updates
mXEnt <- upsertByUnknownName (User "X" 999) [UserAge +=. 15]

This query will alter dataset-1 to:

+-----+-----+-----+
|id   |name |age  |
+-----+-----+-----+
|1    |SPJ  |40   |
+-----+-----+-----+

getByValue :: (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueRead backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity record)) #

A modification of getBy, which takes the PersistEntity itself instead of a Unique record. Returns a record matching one of the unique keys. This function makes the most sense on entities with a single Unique constructor.

Example usage

Expand

With schema-1 and dataset-1,

getBySpjValue :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User)) getBySpjValue = getByValue $ User SPJ 999

mSpjEnt <- getBySpjValue

The above query when applied on dataset-1, will get this record:

+----+------+-----+
| id | name | age |
+----+------+-----+
|  1 | SPJ  |  40 |
+----+------+-----+

insertBy :: (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueWrite backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Either (Entity record) (Key record)) #

Insert a value, checking for conflicts with any unique constraints. If a duplicate exists in the database, it is returned as Left. Otherwise, the new 'Key is returned as Right.

Example usage

Expand

With schema-2 and dataset-1, we have following lines of code:

l1 <- insertBy $ User "SPJ" 20
l2 <- insertBy $ User "XXX" 41
l3 <- insertBy $ User "SPJ" 40
r1 <- insertBy $ User "XXX" 100

First three lines return Left because there're duplicates in given record's uniqueness constraints. While the last line returns a new key as Right.

insertUniqueEntity :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueWrite backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity record)) #

Like insertEntity, but returns Nothing when the record couldn't be inserted because of a uniqueness constraint.

Example usage

Expand

We use schema-2 and dataset-1 here.

insertUniqueSpjEntity :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
insertUniqueSpjEntity = insertUniqueEntity $ User "SPJ" 50
mSpjEnt <- insertUniqueSpjEntity

The above query results Nothing as SPJ already exists.

insertUniqueAlexaEntity :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Maybe (Entity User))
insertUniqueAlexaEntity = insertUniqueEntity $ User "Alexa" 3
mAlexaEnt <- insertUniqueSpjEntity

Because there's no such unique keywords of the given record, the above query when applied on dataset-1, will produce this:

+----+-------+-----+
| id | name  | age |
+----+-------+-----+
|  1 | SPJ   |  40 |
+----+-------+-----+
|  2 | Simon |  41 |
+----+-------+-----+
|  3 | Alexa |   3 |
+----+-------+-----+

Since: 2.7.1

replaceUnique :: (MonadIO m, Eq record, Eq (Unique record), PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueWrite backend) => Key record -> record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record)) #

Attempt to replace the record of the given key with the given new record. First query the unique fields to make sure the replacement maintains uniqueness constraints.

Return Nothing if the replacement was made. If uniqueness is violated, return a Just with the Unique violation

Since: 1.2.2.0

checkUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistRecordBackend record backend, PersistUniqueRead backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Unique record)) #

Check whether there are any conflicts for unique keys with this entity and existing entities in the database.

Returns Nothing if the entity would be unique, and could thus safely be inserted. on a conflict returns the conflicting key

Example usage

Expand

We use schema-1 and dataset-1 here.

This would be Nothing:

mAlanConst <- checkUnique $ User "Alan" 70

While this would be Just because SPJ already exists:

mSpjConst <- checkUnique $ User "SPJ" 60

onlyUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistUniqueWrite backend, PersistRecordBackend record backend) => record -> ReaderT backend m (Unique record) #

Return the single unique key for a record.

Example usage

Expand

We use shcema-1 and dataset-1 here.

onlySimonConst :: MonadIO m => ReaderT SqlBackend m (Unique User)
onlySimonConst = onlyUnique $ User "Simon" 999
mSimonConst <- onlySimonConst

mSimonConst would be Simon's uniqueness constraint. Note that onlyUnique doesn't work if there're more than two constraints.

PersistEntity

class (PersistField (Key record), ToJSON (Key record), FromJSON (Key record), Show (Key record), Read (Key record), Eq (Key record), Ord (Key record)) => PersistEntity record where #

Persistent serialized Haskell records to the database. A Database Entity (A row in SQL, a document in MongoDB, etc) corresponds to a Key plus a Haskell record.

For every Haskell record type stored in the database there is a corresponding PersistEntity instance. An instance of PersistEntity contains meta-data for the record. PersistEntity also helps abstract over different record types. That way the same query interface can return a PersistEntity, with each query returning different types of Haskell records.

Some advanced type system capabilities are used to make this process type-safe. Persistent users usually don't need to understand the class associated data and functions.

Associated Types

type PersistEntityBackend record #

Persistent allows multiple different backends (databases).

data Key record #

By default, a backend will automatically generate the key Instead you can specify a Primary key made up of unique values.

data EntityField record :: * -> * #

An EntityField is parameterised by the Haskell record it belongs to and the additional type of that field.

data Unique record #

Unique keys besides the Key.

Methods

keyToValues :: Key record -> [PersistValue] #

A lower-level key operation.

keyFromValues :: [PersistValue] -> Either Text (Key record) #

A lower-level key operation.

persistIdField :: EntityField record (Key record) #

A meta-operation to retrieve the Key EntityField.

entityDef :: Monad m => m record -> EntityDef #

Retrieve the EntityDef meta-data for the record.

persistFieldDef :: EntityField record typ -> FieldDef #

Return meta-data for a given EntityField.

toPersistFields :: record -> [SomePersistField] #

A meta-operation to get the database fields of a record.

fromPersistValues :: [PersistValue] -> Either Text record #

A lower-level operation to convert from database values to a Haskell record.

persistUniqueKeys :: record -> [Unique record] #

A meta operation to retrieve all the Unique keys.

persistUniqueToFieldNames :: Unique record -> [(HaskellName, DBName)] #

A lower level operation.

persistUniqueToValues :: Unique record -> [PersistValue] #

A lower level operation.

fieldLens :: EntityField record field -> forall f. Functor f => (field -> f field) -> Entity record -> f (Entity record) #

Use a PersistField as a lens.

PersistField

class PersistField a where #

This class teaches Persistent how to take a custom type and marshal it to and from a PersistValue, allowing it to be stored in a database.

Examples

Simple Newtype

You can use newtype to add more type safety/readability to a basis type like ByteString. In these cases, just derive PersistField and PersistFieldSql:

{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}

newtype HashedPassword = HashedPassword ByteString
  deriving (Eq, Show, PersistField, PersistFieldSql)
Smart Constructor Newtype

In this example, we create a PersistField instance for a newtype following the "Smart Constructor" pattern.

{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
import qualified Data.Text as T
import qualified Data.Char as C

-- | An American Social Security Number
newtype SSN = SSN Text
 deriving (Eq, Show, PersistFieldSql)

mkSSN :: Text -> Either Text SSN
mkSSN t = if (T.length t == 9) && (T.all C.isDigit t)
 then Right $ SSN t
 else Left $ "Invalid SSN: " <> t

instance PersistField SSN where
  toPersistValue (SSN t) = PersistText t
  fromPersistValue (PersistText t) = mkSSN t
  -- Handle cases where the database does not give us PersistText
  fromPersistValue x = Left $ "File.hs: When trying to deserialize an SSN: expected PersistText, received: " <> T.pack (show x)

Tips:

  • This file contain dozens of PersistField instances you can look at for examples.
  • Typically custom PersistField instances will only accept a single PersistValue constructor in fromPersistValue.
  • Internal PersistField instances accept a wide variety of PersistValues to accomodate e.g. storing booleans as integers, booleans or strings.
  • If you're making a custom instance and using a SQL database, you'll also need PersistFieldSql to specify the type of the database column.

PersistConfig

class PersistConfig c where #

Represents a value containing all the configuration options for a specific backend. This abstraction makes it easier to write code that can easily swap backends.

Minimal complete definition

loadConfig, createPoolConfig, runPool

Associated Types

type PersistConfigBackend c :: (* -> *) -> * -> * #

type PersistConfigPool c #

Methods

loadConfig :: Value -> Parser c #

Load the config settings from a Value, most likely taken from a YAML config file.

applyEnv :: c -> IO c #

Modify the config settings based on environment variables.

createPoolConfig :: c -> IO (PersistConfigPool c) #

Create a new connection pool based on the given config settings.

runPool :: MonadUnliftIO m => c -> PersistConfigBackend c m a -> PersistConfigPool c -> m a #

Run a database action by taking a connection from the pool.

Lifting

class HasPersistBackend backend where #

Class which allows the plucking of a BaseBackend backend from some larger type. For example, instance HasPersistBackend (SqlReadBackend, Int) where type BaseBackend (SqlReadBackend, Int) = SqlBackend persistBackend = unSqlReadBackend . fst

liftPersist :: (MonadIO m, MonadReader backend m, HasPersistBackend backend) => ReaderT (BaseBackend backend) IO b -> m b #

class BackendCompatible sup sub where #

This class witnesses that two backend are compatible, and that you can convert from the sub backend into the sup backend. This is similar to the HasPersistBackend and IsPersistBackend classes, but where you don't want to fix the type associated with the PersistEntityBackend of a record.

Generally speaking, where you might have:

foo ::
  ( PersistEntity record
  , PeristEntityBackend record ~ BaseBackend backend
  , IsSqlBackend backend
  )

this can be replaced with:

foo ::
  ( PersistEntity record,
  , PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend
  , BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend
  )

This works for SqlReadBackend because of the instance BackendCompatible SqlBackend SqlReadBackend, without needing to go through the BaseBackend type family.

Likewise, functions that are currently hardcoded to use SqlBackend can be generalized:

-- before:
asdf :: ReaderT SqlBackend m ()
asdf = pure ()

-- after:
asdf' :: BackendCompatible SqlBackend backend => ReaderT backend m ()
asdf' = withReaderT projectBackend asdf

JSON utilities

keyValueEntityToJSON :: (PersistEntity record, ToJSON record, ToJSON (Key record)) => Entity record -> Value #

Predefined toJSON. The resulting JSON looks like {"key": 1, "value": {"name": ...}}.

The typical usage is:

instance ToJSON (Entity User) where
    toJSON = keyValueEntityToJSON

keyValueEntityFromJSON :: (PersistEntity record, FromJSON record, FromJSON (Key record)) => Value -> Parser (Entity record) #

Predefined parseJSON. The input JSON looks like {"key": 1, "value": {"name": ...}}.

The typical usage is:

instance FromJSON (Entity User) where
    parseJSON = keyValueEntityFromJSON

entityIdToJSON :: (PersistEntity record, ToJSON record, ToJSON (Key record)) => Entity record -> Value #

Predefined toJSON. The resulting JSON looks like {"id": 1, "name": ...}.

The typical usage is:

instance ToJSON (Entity User) where
    toJSON = entityIdToJSON

entityIdFromJSON :: (PersistEntity record, FromJSON record, FromJSON (Key record)) => Value -> Parser (Entity record) #

Predefined parseJSON. The input JSON looks like {"id": 1, "name": ...}.

The typical usage is:

instance FromJSON (Entity User) where
    parseJSON = entityIdFromJSON

toPersistValueJSON :: ToJSON a => a -> PersistValue #

Convenience function for getting a free PersistField instance from a type with JSON instances.

Example usage in combination with fromPersistValueJSON:

instance PersistField MyData where
  fromPersistValue = fromPersistValueJSON
  toPersistValue = toPersistValueJSON

fromPersistValueJSON :: FromJSON a => PersistValue -> Either Text a #

Convenience function for getting a free PersistField instance from a type with JSON instances. The JSON parser used will accept JSON values other that object and arrays. So, if your instance serializes the data to a JSON string, this will still work.

Example usage in combination with toPersistValueJSON:

instance PersistField MyData where
  fromPersistValue = fromPersistValueJSON
  toPersistValue = toPersistValueJSON
