# Documentation

class (PersistEntity record, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistStore 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

# PersistStore

Associated Types

data BackendKey backend

Methods

get :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe val)

Get a record by identifier, if available.

insert :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Key val)

Create a new record in the database, returning an automatically created key (in SQL an auto-increment id).

insert_ :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Same as `insert`, but doesn't return a `Key`.

insertMany :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => [val] -> ReaderT backend m [Key val]

Create multiple records in the database and return their `Key`s.

If you don't need the inserted `Key`s, use `insertMany_`.

The MongoDB and PostgreSQL backends insert all records and retrieve their keys in one database query.

The SQLite and MySQL backends use the slow, default implementation of `mapM insert`.

insertMany_ :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => [val] -> ReaderT backend m ()

Same as `insertMany`, but doesn't return any `Key`s.

The MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MySQL backends insert all records in one database query.

insertEntityMany :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => [Entity val] -> ReaderT backend m ()

Same as `insertMany_`, but takes an `Entity` instead of just a record.

Useful when migrating data from one entity to another and want to preserve ids.

The MongoDB backend inserts all the entities in one database query.

The SQL backends use the slow, default implementation of `mapM_ insertKey`.

insertKey :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Create a new record in the database using the given key.

repsert :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Put the record in the database with the given key. Unlike `replace`, if a record with the given key does not exist then a new record will be inserted.

replace :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Replace the record in the database with the given key. Note that the result is undefined if such record does not exist, so you must use 'insertKey or `repsert` in these cases.

delete :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Delete a specific record by identifier. Does nothing if record does not exist.

update :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val) => Key val -> [Update val] -> ReaderT backend m ()

Update individual fields on a specific record.

updateGet :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val) => Key val -> [Update val] -> ReaderT backend m val

Update individual fields on a specific record, and retrieve the updated value from the database.

Note that this function will throw an exception if the given key is not found in the database.

getJust :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity val, Show (Key val), backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, MonadIO m) => Key val -> ReaderT backend m val

Same as get, but for a non-null (not Maybe) foreign key Unsafe unless your database is enforcing that the foreign key is valid.

belongsTo :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity ent1, PersistEntity ent2, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend ent2, MonadIO m) => (ent1 -> Maybe (Key ent2)) -> ent1 -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe ent2)

Curry this to make a convenience function that loads an associated model.

    foreign = belongsTo foreignId

belongsToJust :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity ent1, PersistEntity ent2, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend ent2, MonadIO m) => (ent1 -> Key ent2) -> ent1 -> ReaderT backend m ent2

Same as `belongsTo`, but uses `getJust` and therefore is similarly unsafe.

insertEntity :: (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity e, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend e, MonadIO m) => e -> ReaderT backend m (Entity e)

Like `insert`, but returns the complete `Entity`.

# PersistUnique

class PersistStore backend => PersistUnique 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 `Unique`s 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.

getBy, deleteBy

Methods

getBy :: (MonadIO m, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend val, PersistEntity val) => Unique val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Entity val))

Get a record by unique key, if available. Returns also the identifier.

deleteBy :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val) => Unique val -> ReaderT backend m ()

Delete a specific record by unique key. Does nothing if no record matches.

insertUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Maybe (Key val))

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

upsert

Arguments

:: (MonadIO m, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend, PersistEntity val) |
=> val | new record to insert
-> [Update val] | updates to perform if the record already exists (leaving this empty is the equivalent of performing a `repsert` on a unique key)
-> ReaderT backend m (Entity val) | 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;
- update the existing record that matches the uniqueness contraint.

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

getByValue :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity record, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend 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.

insertBy :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Either (Entity val) (Key val))

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`.

replaceUnique :: (MonadIO m, Eq record, Eq (Unique record), PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistEntity record, PersistUnique 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, PersistEntityBackend record ~ backend, PersistEntity record, PersistUnique 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

onlyUnique :: (MonadIO m, PersistEntity val, PersistUnique backend, PersistEntityBackend val ~ backend) => val -> ReaderT backend m (Unique val)

Return the single unique key for a record.

Call `selectKeys` but return the result as a list.

# DeleteCascade

class (PersistStore backend, PersistEntity record, backend ~ PersistEntityBackend record) => DeleteCascade record backend where

For combinations of backends and entities that support cascade-deletion. “Cascade-deletion” means that entries that depend on other entries to be deleted will be deleted as well.

Methods

Perform cascade-deletion of single database entry.

deleteCascadeWhere :: (MonadIO m, DeleteCascade record backend, PersistQuery backend) => [Filter record] -> ReaderT backend m ()

# 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.

# 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
