Documentation

Overview

Package vst implements driver.Connection using a VelocyStream connection.

This connection uses VelocyStream (with optional TLS) to connect to the ArangoDB database. It encodes its contents as Velocypack.

Creating an Insecure Connection

To create a VST connection, use code like this.

// Create a VST connection to the database
conn, err := vst.NewConnection(vst.ConnectionConfig{
	Endpoints: []string{"http://localhost:8529"},
})
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

The resulting connection is used to create a client which you will use for normal database requests.

// Create a client
c, err := driver.NewClient(driver.ClientConfig{
	Connection: conn,
})
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Creating a Secure Connection

To create a secure VST connection, use code like this.

// Create a VST over TLS connection to the database
conn, err := vst.NewConnection(vst.ConnectionConfig{
	Endpoints: []string{"https://localhost:8529"},
	TLSConfig: &tls.Config{
		InsecureSkipVerify: trueWhenUsingNonPublicCertificates,
	},
})
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Functions

func NewConnection

func NewConnection(config ConnectionConfig) (driver.Connection, error)

NewConnection creates a new Velocystream connection based on the given configuration settings.

Types

type ConnectionConfig

type ConnectionConfig struct {
	// Endpoints holds 1 or more URL's used to connect to the database.
	// In case of a connection to an ArangoDB cluster, you must provide the URL's of all coordinators.
	Endpoints []string
	// TLSConfig holds settings used to configure a TLS (HTTPS) connection.
	// This is only used for endpoints using the HTTPS scheme.
	TLSConfig *tls.Config
	// Transport allows the use of a custom round tripper.
	// If Transport is not of type `*http.Transport`, the `TLSConfig` property is not used.
	// Otherwise a `TLSConfig` property other than `nil` will overwrite the `TLSClientConfig`
	// property of `Transport`.
	// Use the Version field in Transport to switch between Velocypack 1.0 / 1.1.
	// Note that Velocypack 1.1 requires ArangoDB 3.2 or higher.
	// Note that Velocypack 1.0 does not support JWT authentication.
	Transport protocol.TransportConfig
	// Cluster configuration settings
	cluster.ConnectionConfig
}

ConnectionConfig provides all configuration options for a Velocypack connection.
