Think of this as an extension of [Squirrel](https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel) with functionability like [Knex](https://knexjs.org/). I still use Squirrel for other types of queries (insert, select, and all that), but I needed some SQL builder for create table and some other stuffs.

Oh, and of course, heavily inspired by [Bob the Builder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_the_Builder).

```go
import "github.com/aldy505/bob"
```

## Usage

It's not ready for large-scale production yet (although I've already using it on one of my projects). But, the API is probably close to how you'd do things on Squirrel. 

### Create a table

```go
import "github.com/aldy505/bob"

func main() {
  // Note that CREATE TABLE doesn't returns args params.
  sql, _, err := bob.
    CreateTable("tableName").
    // The first parameter is the column's name.
    // The second parameters and so on forth are extras.
    StringColumn("id", "NOT NULL", "PRIMARY KEY", "AUTOINCREMENT").
    StringColumn("email", "NOT NULL", "UNIQUE").
    // See the list of available column definition types through pkg.go.dev or scroll down below.
    TextColumn("password").
    // Or add your custom type.
    AddColumn(bob.ColumnDef{Name: "tableName", Type: "customType", Extras: []string{"NOT NULL"}}).
    ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    // handle your error
  }
}
```

Available column definition types (please be aware that some only works on certain database):
* `StringColumn()` - Default to `VARCHAR(255)`
* `TextColumn()` - Default to `TEXT`
* `UUIDColumn()` - Defaults to `UUID`
* `BooleanColumn()` - Defaults to `BOOLEAN`
* `IntegerColumn()` - Defaults to `INTEGER`. Postgres and SQLite only.
* `IntColumn()` - Defaults to `INT`. MySQL and MSSQL only.
* `RealColumn()` - Defaults to `REAL`. Postgres, MSSQL, and SQLite only.
* `FloatColumn()` - Defaults to `FLOAT`. Postgres and SQLite only.
* `DateTimeColumn()` - Defaults to `DATETIME`.
* `TimeStampColumn()` - Defaults to `TIMESTAMP`.
* `TimeColumn()` - Defaults to `TIME`.
* `DateColumn()` - Defaults to `DATE`.
* `JSONColumn()` - Dafults to `JSON`. MySQL and Postgres only.
* `JSONBColumn()` - Defaults to `JSONB`. Postgres only.
* `BlobColumn()` - Defaults to `BLOB`. MySQL and SQLite only.

For any other types, please use `AddColumn()`.

Another builder of `bob.CreateTableIfNotExists()` is also available.

### Check if a table exists

```go
func main() {
  sql, args, err := bob.HasTable("users").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
```

### Check if a column exists

```go
func main() {
  sql, args, err := bob.HasColumn("email").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
```

### Drop table

```go
func main() {
  sql, _, err := bob.DropTable("users").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
```

You could also do `bob.DropTableIfExists("users")` to output a `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "users"` query.

### Truncate table

```go
func main() {
  sql, _, err := bob.Truncate("users").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
```

### Rename table

```go
func main() {
  sql, _, err := bob.RenameTable("users", "people").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
```

### Placeholder format / Dialect

Default placeholder is a question mark (MySQL-like). If you want to change it, simply use something like this:

```go
func main() {
  // Option 1
  sql, args, err := bob.HasTable("users").PlaceholderFormat(bob.Dollar).ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  // Option 2
  sql, args, err = bob.HasTable("users").ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
  correctPlaceholder := bob.ReplacePlaceholder(sql, bob.Dollar)
}
```

Available placeholder formats:
* `bob.Question` - `INSERT INTO "users" (name) VALUES (?)`
* `bob.Dollar` - `INSERT INTO "users" (name) VALUES ($1)`
* `bob.Colon` - `INSERT INTO "users" (name) VALUES (:1)` (Yes, I know this is kinda wrong. I'm thinking of removing it.)
* `bob.AtP` - `INSERT INTO "users" (name) VALUES (@p1)`

### With pgx (PostgreSQL)

```go
import (
  "context"
  "log"
  "strings"

  "github.com/aldy505/bob"
  "github.com/jackc/pgx/v4"
)

func main() {
  db := pgx.Connect()

  // Check if a table is exists
  sql, args, err = bob.HasTable("users").PlaceholderFormat(bob.Dollar).ToSql()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  var hasTableUsers bool
  err = db.QueryRow(context.Background(), sql, args...).Scan(&hasTableUsers)
  if err != nil {
    if err == bob.ErrEmptyTablePg {
      hasTableUsers = false
    } else {
      log.Fatal(err)
    }
  }

  if !hasTableUsers {
    // Create "users" table
    sql, _, err := bob.
      CreateTable("users").
      IntegerColumn("id", "PRIMARY KEY", "SERIAL").
      StringColumn("name", "NOT NULL").
      TextColumn("password", "NOT NULL").
      DateColumn("created_at").
      ToSql()
    if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
    }

    _, err = db.Query(context.Background(), splitQuery[i])
    if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Create another table, this time with CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
    sql, _, err := bob.
      CreateTableIfNotExists("inventory").
      UUIDColumn("id", "PRIMARY KEY").
      IntegerColumn("userID", "FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES users(id)").
      JSONColumn("items").
      IntegerColumn("quantity").
      ToSql()
    if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
    }
    
    _, err = db.Query(context.Background(), inventoryQuery[i])
    if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
    }
  }
}
```

## Features

* `bob.CreateTable(tableName)` - Basic SQL create table
* `bob.CreateTableIfNotExists(tableName)` - Create table if not exists
* `bob.HasTable(tableName)` - Checks if column exists (return error if false, check example above for error handling)
* `bob.HasColumn(columnName)` - Check if a column exists on current table
* `bob.DropTable(tableName)` - Drop a table (`drop table "users"`)
* `bob.DropTableIfExists(tableName)` - Drop a table if exists (`drop table if exists "users"`)
* `bob.RenameTable(currentTable, desiredName)` - Rename a table (`rename table "users" to "people"`)
* `bob.Truncate(tableName)` - Truncate a table (`truncate "users"`)

### TODO

Meaning these are some ideas for the future development of Bob.

* `bob.Upsert(tableName)` - UPSERT function (`insert into "users" ("name", "email") values (?, ?) on duplicate key update email = ?`)
* `bob.ExecWith()` - Just like Squirrel's [ExecWith](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Masterminds/squirrel?utm_source=godoc#ExecWith)
* `bob.Count(tableName, columnName)` - Count query (`select count("active") from "users"`)
