diesel-derive-more

This package provides some helpers for working with diesel models.

Provides

• DefaultInsertable: Creates a default struct to use as an insertable model
• DBEnum: Allows serializing and deserializing enums for DB storage
• Deserialization for default insertable through the 'serialization' feature

This is work in progress (created to support one of my projects) so it will continue to evolve.

Testing

Create a postgres test db and add a .env file to the root of the project pointing to that db

DATABASE_URL=postgres://dev:password@127.0.0.1/dev

Initialize the db by running:

pushd tests && diesel migration run && popd

You can run this when you make changes to the test schemas as well

Diesel Derive More

Additional derive functionality for the diesel models which make it easier to get started

DBEnum

DBEnum provides diesel implementations for using an enum as a string field in models. Deriving DBEnum in an enum provides serializationa and deserialization traits.

DefaultInsertable

Default insertable provides a default implementation for a diesel model It allows marking fields as auto_increment so that they are excluded from the derived struct.

The new struct is prefixed with 'New' and lives in the same module as the original struct.

When using the serialization feature, the stuct is also serializable through serde
