Départ de X enclenché : j'attends mon archive. C'était cool, Twitter, hein ? Les temps ont tellement changé. Bonjour 2025, bonjour l'Europe, bonjour l'avenir ! Pour continuer à me suivre, c'est sur https://t.co/umdB4SVJS3.

Time to leave X! See you soon on Mastodon 😙

@demensdeum The dump features are the base for the snapshot testing companion library https://t.co/hlEnTuZ6lD. I wish more people would know about it!

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@demensdeum You might be interested in the built-in dump features :) See for example https://t.co/bpjeMaY4Pz

This week we explore executing SQLite queries to fetch data and display it in SwiftUI. Along the way we showcase a technique for seeding data in development using GRDB migrations to instantly populate your UI with no additional work.

Learn how to integrate SQLite into a SwiftUI view using GRDB. We’ll explore querying the database to display data in the UI, enforcing table relations to maintain app state, and testing everything in Xcode previews.

Comparing code that interfaces with the SQLite C library and GRDB is like comparing night and day. Dozens of statements and lines of code that are easy to get wrong often turns into a single expression.

Interfacing with SQLite’s C library from Swift is possible but clunky. Thankfully, the community offers friendlier, more “Swift-like” options. Let’s explore the most popular one, GRDB, and show how it avoids boilerplate and catches issues at compile time.

Like that crossover episode you didn’t know you needed - @pointfreeco featuring @groue’s incredible work on GRDB.swift ❤️

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@krzyzanowskim Thank you :) Yes GRDB is not bad at database observation. The demo app contains a simple view model that observes a list of "players" with the ability to control how they are sorted. It is testable, and tested.

All Swift 6-ready, with MainActor and all.

🚀 GRDB 7 beta is out!

@jazzychad I should remove this paragraph from the documentation. I built several modularized apps without any issue. Maybe the Xcode bug no longer exist, or has moved (a few people are still discussing in the linked issue).

@krzyzanowskim @pepicrft Not yet, but almost: https://t.co/F7GggSdA2D

After switching from CoreData
to GRDB, Avare's crash rate is significantly lower.

😍 0 reported crashes 😍

Anyone using Avare and experiencing a bug or crash? If so, please let me know 🙏🏻

@everton_dev @esyx0 You might appreciate GRDB, actually. One can sure keep on ignoring relational databases, isolation levels, etc, when using it. But for the people who care, the library makes sure they can express themselves sharply.

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@dexterleng In all cases, thanks for your feedback. If GRDB had throwing accessors, this would be less work for you, I can pretty well see that.

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@dexterleng 👍 I see. Indeed you'll need Swift optional for all nullable columns. I don't know if this can help, but you could also derive a new database file from the original, where those columns are not nullable, and discard invalid rows?

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@dexterleng This has been discussed in a repository issue (see link). Basically, wrong casts are assumed to be a programmer error, because the database schema is under the control of the programmer.

@arasan01_me Forked by @cmchen who has been using GRDB at Signal. Looks like when you go GRDB you're never going back 😉

[Gwendal Roué @groue]

@_williamkennedy @Jason80586 Don't hesitate opening a discussion about the kind of improvements you'd like to see!
