Add Mariaex as a dependency in your mix.exs file.

def deps do
  [{:mariaex, "~> 0.8.2"} ]
end

After you are done, run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch and compile Mariaex. Start an interactive Elixir shell with iex -S mix.

  iex(1)> {:ok, p} = Mariaex.start_link(username: "ecto", database: "ecto_test")
  {:ok, #PID<0.108.0>}

  iex(2)> Mariaex.query(p, "CREATE TABLE test1 (id serial, title text)")
  {:ok, %Mariaex.Result{columns: [], command: :create, num_rows: 0, rows: []}}

  iex(3)> Mariaex.query(p, "INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(1, 'test')")
  {:ok, %Mariaex.Result{columns: [], command: :insert, num_rows: 1, rows: []}}

  iex(4)> Mariaex.query(p, "INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(2, 'test2')")
  {:ok, %Mariaex.Result{columns: [], command: :insert, num_rows: 1, rows: []}}

  iex(5)> Mariaex.query(p, "SELECT id, title FROM test1")
  {:ok,
   %Mariaex.Result{columns: ["id", "title"], command: :select, num_rows: 2,
    rows: [[1, "test"], [2, "test2"]}}

Important configuration, which depends on used charset for support unicode chars, see :binary_as in Mariaex.start_link/1

As default, Poison is used for JSON library in mariaex to support JSON column.

If you want to use another library, please set config.exs like below.

config :mariaex, json_library: SomeLibrary
