# BaraDB Nim Client
Official Nim client for **BaraDB** — a multimodal database engine.
## Features
- **Binary wire protocol** — fast TCP communication via `asyncnet`
- **Async/await API** — non-blocking by default
- **Sync wrapper** — `SyncClient` for blocking code
- **Query builder** — fluent SQL construction
- **Zero server dependencies** — self-contained, uses only Nim stdlib
## Installation
Add to your `.nimble` file:
```nim
requires "baradb >= 1.1.0"
```
Or clone locally:
```bash
git clone https://codeberg.org/baraba/baradb
cd clients/nim
nimble develop
```
## Quick Start
### Async API
```nim
import asyncdispatch
import baradb/client
proc main() {.async.} =
let client = newClient()
await client.connect()
let result = await client.query("SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE age > 18")
echo result
client.close()
waitFor main()
```
### Sync API
```nim
import baradb/client
let client = newSyncClient()
client.connect()
let result = client.query("SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE age > 18")
echo result
client.close()
```
### Parameterized Queries
```nim
import baradb/client
proc main() {.async.} =
let client = newClient()
await client.connect()
let result = await client.query(
"SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > $1",
@[WireValue(kind: fkInt64, int64Val: 18)]
)
echo result
client.close()
waitFor main()
```
### Query Builder
```nim
import baradb/client
proc main() {.async.} =
let client = newClient()
await client.connect()
let result = await newQueryBuilder(client)
.select("name", "email")
.from("users")
.where("active = true")
.orderBy("name", "ASC")
.limit(10)
.exec()
echo result
client.close()
waitFor main()
```
## Running Tests
Unit tests (no server):
```bash
nimble test
```
Integration tests (requires server on `localhost:9472`):
```bash
# Start server
docker run -d -p 9472:9472 baradb:latest
# Run integration tests
nim c -r tests/test_integration.nim
```
## API Reference
### `ClientConfig`
| Field | Default | Description |
|--------------|-------------|------------------------|
| `host` | `127.0.0.1` | Server hostname |
| `port` | `9472` | TCP port |
| `database` | `default` | Default database |
| `username` | `admin` | Username |
| `password` | `""` | Password |
| `timeoutMs` | `30000` | Timeout in ms |
| `maxRetries` | `3` | Max reconnect retries |
### Methods (Async)
- `connect()` — open TCP connection
- `close()` — close connection
- `query(sql)` — execute SELECT-like query
- `query(sql, params)` — parameterized query
- `exec(sql)` — execute DDL/DML, returns affected rows
- `auth(token)` — JWT authentication
- `ping()` — health check
### Methods (Sync)
Same as async but blocking. Available on `SyncClient`.
## Ormin Integration
The Nim client ships with an [Ormin](https://github.com/Araq/ormin) backend for compile-time checked SQL queries.
```nim
import ormin
importModel(DbBackend.baradb, "my_model")
let db {.global.} = open("127.0.0.1:9472", "admin", "", "default")
let rows = query:
select users(id, name)
where name == ?"alice"
```
See `examples/ormin_basic.nim` for a full sample.
