Asynchronous database driver integration for Rocket. See the [crate docs] for
full usage details.
## Usage
1. Add `rocket_db_pools` as a dependency with one or more [database driver
features] enabled:
```toml
[dependencies.rocket_db_pools]
version = "0.1.0"
features = ["sqlx_sqlite"]
```
2. Choose a name for your database, here `sqlite_logs`. [Configure] _at least_ a
URL for the database:
```toml
[default.databases.sqlite_logs]
url = "/path/to/database.sqlite"
```
3. [Derive `Database`] for a unit type (`Logs` here) which
wraps the selected driver's [`Pool`] type and is decorated with
`#[database("name")]`. Attach `Type::init()` to your application's `Rocket`
to initialize the database pool:
```rust
use rocket_db_pools::{Database, Connection};
#[derive(Database)]
#[database("sqlite_logs")]
struct Logs(sqlx::SqlitePool);
#[launch]
fn rocket() -> _ {
rocket::build().attach(Logs::init())
}
```
4. Use [`Connection<Type>`] as a request guard to retrieve an
active database connection:
```rust
#[get("/<id>")]
async fn read(mut db: Connection<Logs>, id: i64) -> Result<Log> {
sqlx::query!("SELECT content FROM logs WHERE id = ?", id)
.fetch_one(&mut *db)
.map_ok(|r| Log(r.content))
.await
}
```
