For many people, SQL can be intimidating when writing mobile apps. To avoid its complexity, various libraries started to implement techniques such as Object-Relational Mapping. They ease basic operations on complex objects, but come with a set of downsides such as decreased performance and the learning curve of a new library.
Square’s libraries SQLBrite and SQLDelight improve data manipulation by embracing all the powerful capabilities of SQLite while removing common frictions like runtime crashes, boilerplate code, and type-unsafe APIs.
In this talk I’ll present the reactive mindset behind SQLBrite and the code-generation capabilities of SQLDelight. When combined, these two libraries will help you architect and code safer and faster with queries autocompletion, code reuse, and much more.
