mysql

Overview ¶

Package mysql provides a centralized and reusable interface for establishing and accessing a MySQL database connection using GORM

This package is designed for API projects that rely on GORM for ORM functionality, offering a standardized way to configure and retrieve a database instance

Current Features:

• Connect(dsn mysql_driver.Config) error Establishes a GORM connection to a MySQL database using the provided DSN configuration This should be called once during application startup

• Get() *gorm.DB Returns the active GORM database instance for use across the application

Example Usage:

// In main or initialization logic
err := mysql.Connect(yourDSNConfig)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("failed to connect to DB: %v", err)
}

// In your services or repositories
db := mysql.Get()
db.Find(&users)

Design Notes:

• The package abstracts away connection handling to keep DB setup logic isolated from business logic and service layers
• The use of a DSN config struct allows compatibility with different environments and simplifies connection string management

Future Plans:

This package is designed to be expanded in future versions to support:

• Loading specific GORM models automatically on startup
• Running predefined or dynamic custom SQL queries
• Connection pooling configuration and performance tuning
• Utility functions for transactions, migrations, and testing

This package aims to reduce boilerplate and enforce consistency in how database access is configured and performed across the codebase

This implementation uses GORM
