# DataLiteC Package
**DataLiteC** is a Swift package that provides a system interface to the SQLite C library. It supports **macOS**, **iOS**, and **Linux** platforms, using the system SQLite library via `pkg-config`.
## Overview
DataLiteC is a Swift system library wrapper that links directly to the SQLite C API. It does not add any abstractions and enables direct usage of SQLite's C functions within Swift code.
## Installation
### Adding DataLiteC to Your Project
To use DataLiteC in your Swift project, add it to the dependencies section of your `Package.swift` file:
```swift
// swift-tools-version: 5.10
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YourProject",
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/angd-dev/data-lite-c.git", from: "1.0.0")
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "YourTarget",
dependencies: [
.product(name: "DataLiteC", package: "data-lite-c")
]
)
]
)
```
### System Requirements
DataLiteC requires SQLite to be installed on your system:
- **Linux**: Install `sqlite3` and development headers:
```bash
sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
```
- **macOS**: Install SQLite using Homebrew:
```bash
brew install sqlite
```
## Usage
Once the package is added, you can import it and use SQLite's C API directly:
```swift
import DataLiteC
var db: OpaquePointer?
if sqlite3_open(":memory:", &db) == SQLITE_OK {
print("Successfully opened connection to database.")
sqlite3_close(db)
} else {
print("Unable to open database.")
}
```
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter build errors such as missing `sqlite3.h`, ensure that `pkg-config` can locate SQLite:
```bash
pkg-config --cflags sqlite3
```
If the command returns nothing, manually set the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`:
```bash
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
```
