[!IMPORTANT]
This repository is read-only. It contains a working Go codegen plugin extracted from https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc which you can fork and modify to meet your needs.

See Building from source and Migrating from sqlc's built-in Go codegen if you want to use a modified fork in your project.

      package: db
      sql_package: pgx/v5

Building from source

Assuming you have the Go toolchain set up, from the project root you can simply make all.

make all

This will produce a standalone binary and a WASM blob in the bin directory. They don't depend on each other, they're just two different plugin styles. You can use either with sqlc, but we recommend WASM and all of the configuration examples here assume you're using a WASM plugin.

To use a local WASM build with sqlc, just update your configuration with a file:// URL pointing at the WASM blob in your bin directory:

plugins:
- name: golang
  wasm:
    url: file:///path/to/bin/sqlc-gen-go.wasm
    sha256: ""

As-of sqlc v1.24.0 the sha256 is optional, but without it sqlc won't cache your module internally which will impact performance.

Migrating from sqlc's built-in Go codegen

We’ve worked hard to make switching to sqlc-gen-go as seamless as possible. Let’s say you’re generating Go code today using a sqlc.yaml configuration that looks something like this:

version: 2
sql:
- schema: "query.sql"
  queries: "query.sql"
  engine: "postgresql"
  gen:
    go:
      package: "db"
      out: "db"
      emit_json_tags: true
      emit_pointers_for_null_types: true
      query_parameter_limit: 5
      overrides:
      - column: "authors.id"
        go_type: "your/package.SomeType"
      rename:
        foo: "bar"

To use the sqlc-gen-go WASM plugin for Go codegen, your config will instead look something like this:

version: 2
plugins:
- name: golang
  wasm:
    url: "https://downloads.sqlc.dev/plugin/sqlc-gen-go_1.0.1.wasm"
    sha256: "7aa8cd8c269822afa455ac4e7a56a0a12117512811a41f3457859770b315fc27"
sql:
- schema: "query.sql"
  queries: "query.sql"
  engine: "postgresql"
  codegen:
  - plugin: golang
    out: "db"
    options:
      package: "db"
      emit_json_tags: true
      emit_pointers_for_null_types: true
      query_parameter_limit: 5
      overrides:
      - column: "authors.id"
        go_type: "your/package.SomeType"
      rename:
        foo: "bar"

The differences are:

• An additional top-level plugins list with an entry for the Go codegen WASM plugin. If you’ve built the plugin from source you’ll want to use a file:// URL. The sha256 field is required, but will be optional in the upcoming sqlc v1.24.0 release.
• Within the sql block, rather than gen with go nested beneath you’ll have a codegen list with an entry referencing the plugin name from the top-level plugins list. All options from the current go configuration block move as-is into the options block within codegen. The only special case is out, which moves up a level into the codegen configuration itself.

Global overrides and renames

If you have global overrides or renames configured, you’ll need to move those to the new top-level options field. Replace the existing go field name with the name you gave your plugin in the plugins list. We’ve used "golang" in this example.

If your existing configuration looks like this:

version: "2"
overrides:
  go:
    rename:
      id: "Identifier"
    overrides:
    - db_type: "timestamptz"
      nullable: true
      engine: "postgresql"
      go_type:
        import: "gopkg.in/guregu/null.v4"
        package: "null"
        type: "Time"
...

Then your updated configuration would look something like this:

version: "2"
plugins:
- name: golang
  wasm:
    url: "https://downloads.sqlc.dev/plugin/sqlc-gen-go_1.0.1.wasm"
    sha256: "7aa8cd8c269822afa455ac4e7a56a0a12117512811a41f3457859770b315fc27"
options:
  golang:
    rename:
      id: "Identifier"
    overrides:
    - db_type: "timestamptz"
      nullable: true
      engine: "postgresql"
      go_type:
        import: "gopkg.in/guregu/null.v4"
        package: "null"
        type: "Time"
...
