Storm is a simple and powerful toolkit for [BoltDB](https://github.com/coreos/bbolt). Basically, Storm provides indexes, a wide range of methods to store and fetch data, an advanced query system, and much more.

In addition to the examples below, see also the [examples in the GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm#pkg-examples).

## Getting Started

```bash
go get -u github.com/asdine/storm
```

## Import Storm

```go
import "github.com/asdine/storm"
```

## Open a database

Quick way of opening a database

```go
db, err := storm.Open("my.db")

defer db.Close()
```

`Open` can receive multiple options to customize the way it behaves. See [Options](#options) below

## Simple CRUD system

### Declare your structures

```go
type User struct {
  ID int // primary key
  Group string `storm:"index"` // this field will be indexed
  Email string `storm:"unique"` // this field will be indexed with a unique constraint
  Name string // this field will not be indexed
  Age int `storm:"index"`
}
```

The primary key can be of any type as long as it is not a zero value. Storm will search for the tag `id`, if not present Storm will search for a field named `ID`.

```go
type User struct {
  ThePrimaryKey string `storm:"id"`// primary key
  Group string `storm:"index"` // this field will be indexed
  Email string `storm:"unique"` // this field will be indexed with a unique constraint
  Name string // this field will not be indexed
}
```

Storm handles tags in nested structures with the `inline` tag

```go
type Base struct {
  Ident bson.ObjectId `storm:"id"`
}

type User struct {
  Base      `storm:"inline"`
  Group     string `storm:"index"`
  Email     string `storm:"unique"`
  Name      string
  CreatedAt time.Time `storm:"index"`
}
```

### Save your object

```go
user := User{
  ID: 10,
  Group: "staff",
  Email: "john@provider.com",
  Name: "John",
  Age: 21,
  CreatedAt: time.Now(),
}

err := db.Save(&user)
// err == nil

user.ID++
err = db.Save(&user)
// err == storm.ErrAlreadyExists
```

That's it.

`Save` creates or updates all the required indexes and buckets, checks the unique constraints and saves the object to the store.

#### Auto Increment

Storm can auto increment integer values so you don't have to worry about that when saving your objects. Also, the new value is automatically inserted in your field.

```go

type Product struct {
  Pk                  int `storm:"id,increment"` // primary key with auto increment
  Name                string
  IntegerField        uint64 `storm:"increment"`
  IndexedIntegerField uint32 `storm:"index,increment"`
  UniqueIntegerField  int16  `storm:"unique,increment=100"` // the starting value can be set
}

p := Product{Name: "Vaccum Cleaner"}

fmt.Println(p.Pk)
fmt.Println(p.IntegerField)
fmt.Println(p.IndexedIntegerField)
fmt.Println(p.UniqueIntegerField)
// 0
// 0
// 0
// 0

_ = db.Save(&p)

fmt.Println(p.Pk)
fmt.Println(p.IntegerField)
fmt.Println(p.IndexedIntegerField)
fmt.Println(p.UniqueIntegerField)
// 1
// 1
// 1
// 100

```

### Simple queries

Any object can be fetched, indexed or not. Storm uses indexes when available, otherwise it uses the [query system](#advanced-queries).

#### Fetch one object

```go
var user User
err := db.One("Email", "john@provider.com", &user)
// err == nil

err = db.One("Name", "John", &user)
// err == nil

err = db.One("Name", "Jack", &user)
// err == storm.ErrNotFound
```

#### Fetch multiple objects

```go
var users []User
err := db.Find("Group", "staff", &users)
```

#### Fetch all objects

```go
var users []User
err := db.All(&users)
```

#### Fetch all objects sorted by index

```go
var users []User
err := db.AllByIndex("CreatedAt", &users)
```

#### Fetch a range of objects

```go
var users []User
err := db.Range("Age", 10, 21, &users)
```

#### Fetch objects by prefix

```go
var users []User
err := db.Prefix("Name", "Jo", &users)
```

#### Skip, Limit and Reverse

```go
var users []User
err := db.Find("Group", "staff", &users, storm.Skip(10))
err = db.Find("Group", "staff", &users, storm.Limit(10))
err = db.Find("Group", "staff", &users, storm.Reverse())
err = db.Find("Group", "staff", &users, storm.Limit(10), storm.Skip(10), storm.Reverse())

err = db.All(&users, storm.Limit(10), storm.Skip(10), storm.Reverse())
err = db.AllByIndex("CreatedAt", &users, storm.Limit(10), storm.Skip(10), storm.Reverse())
err = db.Range("Age", 10, 21, &users, storm.Limit(10), storm.Skip(10), storm.Reverse())
```

#### Delete an object

```go
err := db.DeleteStruct(&user)
```

#### Update an object

```go
// Update multiple fields
err := db.Update(&User{ID: 10, Name: "Jack", Age: 45})

// Update a single field
err := db.UpdateField(&User{ID: 10}, "Age", 0)
```

#### Initialize buckets and indexes before saving an object

```go
err := db.Init(&User{})
```

Useful when starting your application

#### Drop a bucket

Using the struct

```go
err := db.Drop(&User)
```

Using the bucket name

```go
err := db.Drop("User")
```

#### Re-index a bucket

```go
err := db.ReIndex(&User{})
```

Useful when the structure has changed

### Advanced queries

For more complex queries, you can use the `Select` method.
`Select` takes any number of [`Matcher`](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/q#Matcher) from the [`q`](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/q) package.

Here are some common Matchers:

```go
// Equality
q.Eq("Name", John)

// Strictly greater than
q.Gt("Age", 7)

// Lesser than or equal to
q.Lte("Age", 77)

// Regex with name that starts with the letter D
q.Re("Name", "^D")

// In the given slice of values
q.In("Group", []string{"Staff", "Admin"})
```

Matchers can also be combined with `And`, `Or` and `Not`:

```go

// Match if all match
q.And(
  q.Gt("Age", 7),
  q.Re("Name", "^D")
)

// Match if one matches
q.Or(
  q.Re("Name", "^A"),
  q.Not(
    q.Re("Name", "^B")
  ),
  q.Re("Name", "^C"),
  q.In("Group", []string{"Staff", "Admin"}),
  q.And(
    q.StrictEq("Password", []byte(password)),
    q.Eq("Registered", true)
  )
)
```

You can find the complete list in the [documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/q#Matcher).

`Select` takes any number of matchers and wraps them into a `q.And()` so it's not necessary to specify it. It returns a [`Query`](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm#Query) type.

```go
query := db.Select(q.Gte("Age", 7), q.Lte("Age", 77))
```

The `Query` type contains methods to filter and order the records.

```go
// Limit
query = query.Limit(10)

// Skip
query = query.Skip(20)

// Calls can also be chained
query = query.Limit(10).Skip(20).OrderBy("Age").Reverse()
```

But also to specify how to fetch them.

```go
var users []User
err = query.Find(&users)

var user User
err = query.First(&user)
```

Examples with `Select`:

```go
// Find all users with an ID between 10 and 100
err = db.Select(q.Gte("ID", 10), q.Lte("ID", 100)).Find(&users)

// Nested matchers
err = db.Select(q.Or(
  q.Gt("ID", 50),
  q.Lt("Age", 21),
  q.And(
    q.Eq("Group", "admin"),
    q.Gte("Age", 21),
  ),
)).Find(&users)

query := db.Select(q.Gte("ID", 10), q.Lte("ID", 100)).Limit(10).Skip(5).Reverse().OrderBy("Age", "Name")

// Find multiple records
err = query.Find(&users)
// or
err = db.Select(q.Gte("ID", 10), q.Lte("ID", 100)).Limit(10).Skip(5).Reverse().OrderBy("Age", "Name").Find(&users)

// Find first record
err = query.First(&user)
// or
err = db.Select(q.Gte("ID", 10), q.Lte("ID", 100)).Limit(10).Skip(5).Reverse().OrderBy("Age", "Name").First(&user)

// Delete all matching records
err = query.Delete(new(User))

// Fetching records one by one (useful when the bucket contains a lot of records)
query = db.Select(q.Gte("ID", 10),q.Lte("ID", 100)).OrderBy("Age", "Name")

err = query.Each(new(User), func(record interface{}) error) {
  u := record.(*User)
  ...
  return nil
}
```

See the [documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm#Query) for a complete list of methods.

### Transactions

```go
tx, err := db.Begin(true)
if err != nil {
  return err
}
defer tx.Rollback()

accountA.Amount -= 100
accountB.Amount += 100

err = tx.Save(accountA)
if err != nil {
  return err
}

err = tx.Save(accountB)
if err != nil {
  return err
}

return tx.Commit()
```

### Options

Storm options are functions that can be passed when constructing you Storm instance. You can pass it any number of options.

#### BoltOptions

By default, Storm opens a database with the mode `0600` and a timeout of one second.
You can change this behavior by using `BoltOptions`

```go
db, err := storm.Open("my.db", storm.BoltOptions(0600, &bolt.Options{Timeout: 1 * time.Second}))
```

#### MarshalUnmarshaler

To store the data in BoltDB, Storm marshals it in JSON by default. If you wish to change this behavior you can pass a codec that implements [`codec.MarshalUnmarshaler`](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec#MarshalUnmarshaler) via the [`storm.Codec`](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm#Codec) option:

```go
db := storm.Open("my.db", storm.Codec(myCodec))
```

##### Provided Codecs

You can easily implement your own `MarshalUnmarshaler`, but Storm comes with built-in support for [JSON](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec/json) (default), [GOB](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec/gob),  [Sereal](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec/sereal), [Protocol Buffers](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec/protobuf) and [MessagePack](https://godoc.org/github.com/asdine/storm/codec/msgpack).

These can be used by importing the relevant package and use that codec to configure Storm. The example below shows all variants (without proper error handling):

```go
import (
  "github.com/asdine/storm"
  "github.com/asdine/storm/codec/gob"
  "github.com/asdine/storm/codec/json"
  "github.com/asdine/storm/codec/sereal"
  "github.com/asdine/storm/codec/protobuf"
  "github.com/asdine/storm/codec/msgpack"
)

var gobDb, _ = storm.Open("gob.db", storm.Codec(gob.Codec))
var jsonDb, _ = storm.Open("json.db", storm.Codec(json.Codec))
var serealDb, _ = storm.Open("sereal.db", storm.Codec(sereal.Codec))
var protobufDb, _ = storm.Open("protobuf.db", storm.Codec(protobuf.Codec))
var msgpackDb, _ = storm.Open("msgpack.db", storm.Codec(msgpack.Codec))
```

**Tip**: Adding Storm tags to generated Protobuf files can be tricky. A good solution is to use [this tool](https://github.com/favadi/protoc-go-inject-tag) to inject the tags during the compilation.

#### Use existing Bolt connection

You can use an existing connection and pass it to Storm

```go
bDB, _ := bolt.Open(filepath.Join(dir, "bolt.db"), 0600, &bolt.Options{Timeout: 10 * time.Second})
db := storm.Open("my.db", storm.UseDB(bDB))
```

#### Batch mode

Batch mode can be enabled to speed up concurrent writes (see [Batch read-write transactions](https://github.com/coreos/bbolt#batch-read-write-transactions))

```go
db := storm.Open("my.db", storm.Batch())
```

## Nodes and nested buckets

Storm takes advantage of BoltDB nested buckets feature by using `storm.Node`.
A `storm.Node` is the underlying object used by `storm.DB` to manipulate a bucket.
To create a nested bucket and use the same API as `storm.DB`, you can use the `DB.From` method.

```go
repo := db.From("repo")

err := repo.Save(&Issue{
  Title: "I want more features",
  Author: user.ID,
})

err = repo.Save(newRelease("0.10"))

var issues []Issue
err = repo.Find("Author", user.ID, &issues)

var release Release
err = repo.One("Tag", "0.10", &release)
```

You can also chain the nodes to create a hierarchy

```go
chars := db.From("characters")
heroes := chars.From("heroes")
enemies := chars.From("enemies")

items := db.From("items")
potions := items.From("consumables").From("medicine").From("potions")
```

You can even pass the entire hierarchy as arguments to `From`:

```go
privateNotes := db.From("notes", "private")
workNotes :=  db.From("notes", "work")
```

### Node options

A Node can also be configured. Activating an option on a Node creates a copy, so a Node is always thread-safe.

```go
n := db.From("my-node")
```

Give a bolt.Tx transaction to the Node

```go
n = n.WithTransaction(tx)
```

Enable batch mode

```go
n = n.WithBatch(true)
```

Use a Codec

```go
n = n.WithCodec(gob.Codec)
```

## Simple Key/Value store

Storm can be used as a simple, robust, key/value store that can store anything.
The key and the value can be of any type as long as the key is not a zero value.

Saving data :

```go
db.Set("logs", time.Now(), "I'm eating my breakfast man")
db.Set("sessions", bson.NewObjectId(), &someUser)
db.Set("weird storage", "754-3010", map[string]interface{}{
  "hair": "blonde",
  "likes": []string{"cheese", "star wars"},
})
```

Fetching data :

```go
user := User{}
db.Get("sessions", someObjectId, &user)

var details map[string]interface{}
db.Get("weird storage", "754-3010", &details)

db.Get("sessions", someObjectId, &details)
```

Deleting data :

```go
db.Delete("sessions", someObjectId)
db.Delete("weird storage", "754-3010")
```

## BoltDB

BoltDB is still easily accessible and can be used as usual

```go
db.Bolt.View(func(tx *bolt.Tx) error {
  bucket := tx.Bucket([]byte("my bucket"))
  val := bucket.Get([]byte("any id"))
  fmt.Println(string(val))
  return nil
})
```

A transaction can be also be passed to Storm

```go
db.Bolt.Update(func(tx *bolt.Tx) error {
  ...
  dbx := db.WithTransaction(tx)
  err = dbx.Save(&user)
  ...
  return nil
})
```
