NOTE: This library has not been used in production for some time and has practices that I would no longer recommend e.g. some of the querying practices.
Use datomic with intention revealing names. Ease of use and sticking to datomic's principles are encouraged. Should work with datomic >= 0.8.3789.
Add to your project.clj:
[datomico "0.2.0"]
Let's build a datomic entity type and start datomic with build-schema and start:
(ns models.user)
(require '[datomico.core :as dc])
; Define a model's database key once and don't think of it again while
; interacting with your model
(def model-namespace :user)
; Build schemas easily without needing to think of partitions and a number of
; internal schema attributes. Basically you don't have to pore over
; http://docs.datomic.com/schema.html
(def schema (dc/build-schema model-namespace
[[:username :string]
[:password :string]]))
; Starting in a repl is easy; a uri, db and connection will be auto-generated
(ns user)
(require '[datomico.core :as dc])
(dc/start {:dynamic-vars true
:schemas [models.user/schema]})Let's create, update, delete and query entity types with create, update, delete and find-all:
(ns models.user)
; creates several helper functions that scope your database interaction to the model.
(dc/create-model-fns model-namespace)
(create {:username "dodo" :password "bird"})
; => {:username "dodo" :password "bird" :id 1024053}
(find-all {:username "dodo"})
; => ({:username "dodo" :password "bird" :id 1024053})
(find-first {:password "bird"})
; => {:username "dodo" :password "bird" :id 1024053}
(update 1024053 {:username "big"})
(dc/delete 1024053)To transact data in batches, datomico provides *-tx corollaries to fns in datomico.action and
datomico.model. These fns generate transaction data which can be batched and transacted as needed.
For this example, assume we're in a url model that has string attributes :name and :desc and a many ref with :tags.
Let's create a new entity that associates itself with two existing entities "clojure" and "database". We'll use
create's corollary create-tx to do this
(ns models.url
(:require [datomico.db :as db]
[datomic.model :as model]))
(def model-namespace :url)
(def find-first (partial model/find-first model-namespace))
(def create-tx (partial model/create-tx model-namespace))
(let [input {:name "http://datomic.com" :desc "DESC" :tags ["clojure" "database"]}
new-map (create-tx (dissoc input :tags))]
(->> (:tags input)
(map #(find-first {:name %}))
(map #(create-tx {:id (:db/id new-map) :tags (:id %)}))
(cons new-map)
db/transact!))Note that create-tx provides :db/id with a tempid you can use to associate it to other entities
in the same transaction.
For actual production code, it is not recommended to use :dynamic-vars with
datomico.core/start. Instead, you should be more explicit about handling your *db* and
*connection* as :dynamic-vars incurs a performance penalty in exchange for convenience. For
example, a ring app should start datomic with:
(dc/start {:uri "datomic:mem://my-app"
:schemas [models.user/schema]})Then, your ring app should use datomico's ring middleware to
explicitly define *db* and *connection* for the duration of a web request:
(-> app datomico.db/wrap-datomic)Look at wrap-datomic's implementation if not in a ring context.
