# GitHub::DS `GitHub::DS` is a collection of Ruby libraries for working with SQL on top of ActiveRecord's connection. * `GitHub::KV` is a key/value data store backed by MySQL. * `GitHub::SQL` is for building and executing a SQL query. This class uses ActiveRecord's connection class, but provides a better API for bind values and raw data access. * `GitHub::Result` makes it easier to bake in resiliency through the use of a Result object instead of raising exceptions. **Current Status**: Used in production extensively at GitHub. Because of this, all changes will be thoroughly vetted, which could slow down the process of contributing. We will do our best to actively communicate status of pull requests with any contributors. If you have any substantial changes that you would like to make, it would be great to first [open an issue](http://github.com/github/github-ds/issues/new) to discuss them with us. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'github-ds' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install github-ds ## Usage Below is a taste of what you can do with these libraries. If you want to see more, check out the [examples directory](./examples/). ### GitHub::KV First, you'll need to create the `key_values` table using the included Rails migration generator. ``` rails generate github:ds:active_record rails db:migrate ``` Once you have created and executed the migration, KV can do neat things like this: ```ruby require "pp" require "github/kv" # Create new instance using ActiveRecord's default connection. kv = GitHub::KV.new { ActiveRecord::Base.connection } # Get a key. pp kv.get("foo") # # Set a key. kv.set("foo", "bar") # nil # Get the key again. pp kv.get("foo") # # Get multiple keys at once. pp kv.mget(["foo", "bar"]) # # Check for existence of a key. pp kv.exists("foo") # # Check for existence of key that does not exist. pp kv.exists("bar") # # Check for existence of multiple keys at once. pp kv.mexists(["foo", "bar"]) # # Set a key's value if the key does not already exist. pp kv.setnx("foo", "bar") # false # Delete a key. pp kv.del("bar") # nil # Delete multiple keys at once. pp kv.mdel(["foo", "bar"]) # nil ``` ### GitHub::SQL ```ruby # Select, insert, update, delete or whatever you need... GitHub::SQL.results <<-SQL SELECT * FROM example_key_values SQL GitHub::SQL.run <<-SQL, key: "foo", value: "bar" INSERT INTO example_key_values (`key`, `value`) VALUES (:key, :value) SQL GitHub::SQL.value <<-SQL, key: "foo" SELECT value FROM example_key_values WHERE `key` = :key SQL # Or slowly build up a query based on conditionals... sql = GitHub::SQL.new <<-SQL SELECT `value` FROM example_key_values SQL key = ENV["KEY"] unless key.nil? sql.add <<-SQL, key: key WHERE `key` = :key SQL end limit = ENV["LIMIT"] unless limit.nil? sql.add <<-SQL, limit: limit.to_i ORDER BY `key` ASC LIMIT :limit SQL end p sql.results ``` ### GitHub::Result ```ruby def do_something 1 end def do_something_that_errors raise "noooooppppeeeee" end result = GitHub::Result.new { do_something } p result.ok? # => true p result.value! # => 1 result = GitHub::Result.new { do_something_that_errors } p result.ok? # => false p result.value { "default when error happens" } # => "default when error happens" begin result.value! # raises exception because error happened rescue => error p result.error p error end # Outputs Step 1, 2, 3 result = GitHub::Result.new { GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 1: success!" } }.then { |value| GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 2: success!" } }.then { |value| GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 3: success!" } } p result.ok? # => true # Outputs Step 1, 2 and stops. result = GitHub::Result.new { GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 1: success!" } }.then { |value| GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 2: failed!" raise } }.then { |value| GitHub::Result.new { puts "Step 3: should not get here because previous step failed!" } } p result.ok? # => false ``` ## Caveats ### GitHub::KV Expiration KV supports expiring keys and obeys expiration when performing operations, but does not actually purge expired rows. At GitHub, we use [pt-archiver](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/2.1/pt-archiver.html) to nibble expired rows. We configure it to do a replica lag check and use the following options: * **index_name**: `"index_key_values_on_expires_at"` * **limit**: `1000` * **where**: `"expires_at <= NOW()"` ## Development After checking out the repo, run `script/bootstrap` to install dependencies. Then, run `script/test` to run the tests. You can also run `script/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. To install this gem onto your local machine, run `script/install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, commit, and then run `script/release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/github/github-ds. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the [Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org) code of conduct. We recommend reading the [contributing guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) as well. ## Roadmap Nothing currently on our radar other than continued maintenance. Have a big idea?
