defql
Create Elixir functions with SQL as the body for database operations.
What is defql?
Defql is an Elixir library that enables developers to write database queries by defining functions where the body is SQL. It provides macros for common CRUD operations and raw SQL queries, simplifying database interactions in Elixir applications. It solves the problem of mixing SQL with Elixir code in a structured and maintainable way.
Elixir developers building applications that require direct SQL access or those looking for a lightweight alternative to full ORMs like Ecto's schema-based queries.
Developers choose Defql for its straightforward approach to embedding SQL in Elixir, reducing boilerplate while keeping queries explicit and adaptable. It offers more control than abstracted ORMs without sacrificing Elixir's functional patterns.
