DataRaft

DataRaft is a minimalistic Swift library for safe, predictable, and concurrent SQLite access.

Overview

DataRaft provides a lightweight, high-level infrastructure for working with SQLite in Swift. It ensures thread-safe database access, streamlined transaction management, and a flexible migration system—without abstracting away SQL or imposing an ORM.

Built on top of DataLiteCore (a lightweight Swift SQLite wrapper) and DataLiteCoder (for type-safe encoding and decoding), DataRaft is designed for real-world applications where control, safety, and reliability are essential.

The core philosophy behind DataRaft is to let developers retain full access to SQL while providing a simple and robust foundation for building database-powered applications.

Requirements

• Swift: 6.0 or later
• Platforms: macOS 10.14+, iOS 12.0+, Linux

Installation

To add DataRaft to your project, use Swift Package Manager (SPM).

Important: The API of DataRaft is currently unstable and may change without notice. It is strongly recommended to pin the dependency to a specific commit to ensure compatibility and avoid unexpected breakage when the API evolves.

Adding to an Xcode Project

1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Navigate to the File menu and select Add Package Dependencies.
3. Enter the repository URL: https://github.com/angd-dev/data-raft.git
4. Choose the version to install.
5. Add the library to your target module.

Adding to Package.swift

If you are using Swift Package Manager with a Package.swift file, add the dependency like this:

// swift-tools-version: 6.0
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "YourProject",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/angd-dev/data-raft.git", branch: "develop")
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "YourTarget",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "DataRaft", package: "data-raft")
            ]
        )
    ]
)
