## Features

1. Async

    Relying on [SQLx](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx), SeaORM is a new library with async support from day 1.

2. Dynamic

    Built upon [SeaQuery](https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-query), SeaORM allows you to build complex dynamic queries.

3. Service Oriented

    Quickly build services that join, filter, sort and paginate data in REST, GraphQL and gRPC APIs.

4. Production Ready

    SeaORM is feature-rich, well-tested and used in production by companies and startups.

## A quick taste of SeaORM

### Entity
```rust
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "cake")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    pub name: String,
}

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation)]
pub enum Relation {
    #[sea_orm(has_many = "super::fruit::Entity")]
    Fruit,
}

impl Related<super::fruit::Entity> for Entity {
    fn to() -> RelationDef {
        Relation::Fruit.def()
    }
}
```

### Select
```rust
// find all models
let cakes: Vec<cake::Model> = Cake::find().all(db).await?;

// find and filter
let chocolate: Vec<cake::Model> = Cake::find()
    .filter(cake::Column::Name.contains("chocolate"))
    .all(db)
    .await?;

// find one model
let cheese: Option<cake::Model> = Cake::find_by_id(1).one(db).await?;
let cheese: cake::Model = cheese.unwrap();

// find related models (lazy)
let fruits: Vec<fruit::Model> = cheese.find_related(Fruit).all(db).await?;

// find related models (eager)
let cake_with_fruits: Vec<(cake::Model, Vec<fruit::Model>)> =
    Cake::find().find_with_related(Fruit).all(db).await?;

```

### Nested Select

```rust
use sea_orm::DerivePartialModel;

#[derive(DerivePartialModel)]
#[sea_orm(entity = "cake::Entity", from_query_result)]
struct CakeWithFruit {
    id: i32,
    name: String,
    #[sea_orm(nested)]
    fruit: Option<Fruit>,
}

#[derive(DerivePartialModel)]
#[sea_orm(entity = "fruit::Entity", from_query_result)]
struct Fruit {
    id: i32,
    name: String,
}

let cakes: Vec<CakeWithFruit> = cake::Entity::find()
    .left_join(fruit::Entity)
    .into_partial_model()
    .all(db)
    .await?;
```
### Insert
```rust
let apple = fruit::ActiveModel {
    name: Set("Apple".to_owned()),
    ..Default::default() // no need to set primary key
};

let pear = fruit::ActiveModel {
    name: Set("Pear".to_owned()),
    ..Default::default()
};

// insert one
let pear = pear.insert(db).await?;

// insert many
Fruit::insert_many([apple, pear]).exec(db).await?;
```
### Insert (advanced)
```rust
// insert many with returning (if supported by database)
let models: Vec<fruit::Model> = Fruit::insert_many([apple, pear])
    .exec_with_returning_many(db)
    .await?;
models[0]
    == fruit::Model {
        id: 1,
        name: "Apple".to_owned(),
        cake_id: None,
    };

// insert with ON CONFLICT on primary key do nothing, with MySQL specific polyfill
let result = Fruit::insert_many([apple, pear])
    .on_conflict_do_nothing()
    .exec(db)
    .await?;

matches!(result, TryInsertResult::Conflicted);
```
### Update
```rust
use sea_orm::sea_query::{Expr, Value};

let pear: Option<fruit::Model> = Fruit::find_by_id(1).one(db).await?;
let mut pear: fruit::ActiveModel = pear.unwrap().into();

pear.name = Set("Sweet pear".to_owned());

// update one
let pear: fruit::Model = pear.update(db).await?;

// update many: UPDATE "fruit" SET "cake_id" = NULL WHERE "fruit"."name" LIKE '%Apple%'
Fruit::update_many()
    .col_expr(fruit::Column::CakeId, Expr::value(Value::Int(None)))
    .filter(fruit::Column::Name.contains("Apple"))
    .exec(db)
    .await?;

```
### Save
```rust
let banana = fruit::ActiveModel {
    id: NotSet,
    name: Set("Banana".to_owned()),
    ..Default::default()
};

// create, because primary key `id` is `NotSet`
let mut banana = banana.save(db).await?;

banana.name = Set("Banana Mongo".to_owned());

// update, because primary key `id` is `Set`
let banana = banana.save(db).await?;

```
### Delete
```rust
// delete one
let orange: Option<fruit::Model> = Fruit::find_by_id(1).one(db).await?;
let orange: fruit::Model = orange.unwrap();
fruit::Entity::delete(orange.into_active_model())
    .exec(db)
    .await?;

// or simply
let orange: Option<fruit::Model> = Fruit::find_by_id(1).one(db).await?;
let orange: fruit::Model = orange.unwrap();
orange.delete(db).await?;

// delete many: DELETE FROM "fruit" WHERE "fruit"."name" LIKE '%Orange%'
fruit::Entity::delete_many()
    .filter(fruit::Column::Name.contains("Orange"))
    .exec(db)
    .await?;

```

## 🧭 Seaography: instant GraphQL API

[Seaography](https://github.com/SeaQL/seaography) is a GraphQL framework built on top of SeaORM. Seaography allows you to build GraphQL resolvers quickly. With just a few commands, you can launch a GraphQL server from SeaORM entities!

Look at the [Seaography Example](https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-orm/tree/master/examples/seaography_example) to learn more.

## Releases

[SeaORM 1.0](https://www.sea-ql.org/blog/2024-08-04-sea-orm-1.0/) is a stable release. The 1.x version will be updated until at least October 2025, and we'll decide whether to release a 2.0 version or extend the 1.x life cycle.

It doesn't mean that SeaORM is 'done', we've designed an architecture to allow us to deliver new features without major breaking changes. In fact, more features are coming!
