A pure Swift client library for Apache Cassandra (3.4+) and ScyllaDB using Cassandra's binary protocol, CQL 3.2.

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    	dependencies: [
		.Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kassandra.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 1)
    	]
    )

You must first connect to the database before you can execute SQL statements. You can specify the keyspace to use in the connect statement.

let kassandra = Kassandra()
try kassandra.connect(with: "mykeyspace") { error in 
    kassandra.execute("SELECT * FROM bread;")

}

In order to persist objects, they must conform to the Model protocol.

struct Post {
    var id: UUID?
    let user: String
    let body: String
    let timestamp: Date
}

The model specifies the table name to use, the primary key that is used, and the fieldTypes.

extension Post: Model {
    enum Field: String {
        case id = "id"
        case user = "user"
        case body  = "message"
        case timestamp = "timestamp"
    }
    
    static let tableName = "Posts"
    
    static var primaryKey: Field {
        return Field.id
    }
    
    static var fieldTypes: [Field: DataType] {
        return [
            .id         : .uuid,
            .user       : .text,
            .body       : .text,
            .timestamp  : .timestamp
        ]
    }
    
    var key: UUID? {
        get {
            return self.id
        }
        set {
            self.id = newValue
        }
    }
    
    init(row: Row) {
        self.id         = row["id"] as? UUID
        self.user       = row["user"] as! String
        self.body       = row["body"] as! String
        self.timestamp  = row["timestamp"] as! Date
    }
}

Persisting an object with Kassandra is easy, and only requires the save method.

let post = Post(id: UUID(), user: user, body: message, timestamp: Date())

post.save()

1. Install OpenSSL:

   • macOS:

   $ brew install openssl
   

   • Linux:

   $ sudo apt-get install openssl
   

2. Add Kassandra to your Package.swift

   import PackageDescription
   
   let package = Package(
   	dependencies: [
   	.Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kassandra.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 1)
   	]
   )

3. Create XCode project to build library (Optional)

   $ swift package generate-xcodeproj \
           -Xswiftc -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include \
           -Xlinker -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
   

4. In Sources/main.swift, import the Kassandra module.

   import Kassandra

5. Build Locally

   • macOS

   $ swift build -Xcc -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -Xlinker -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
   

   • Linux

   $ swift build -Xcc -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -Xlinker -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
