scala-pet-store VS doobie

In addition to the great work from Gabriel Volpe, there's the Scala Pet Store and a to-do app.

Hello, you can try to look for pet store implementations on GitHub using Scala, like https://github.com/pauljamescleary/scala-pet-store. The "Pet Store" is usually an example repo demonstrating how to build a CRUD service. Since Scala is a language capable of expressing multiple design techniques, multiple ways of solving similar problems exist, which is neither good nor bad, just irritating for a beginner.

Hi guys, finish you know of any good github sample apps, written in scala, in proper functional style ? the ⠀goal is to see actual production code that is FP worthy, to look up to :) I am looking to see how FP looks in practice similar to https://github.com/pauljamescleary/scala-pet-store or https://github.com/hcwilhelm/twm I have 2 years of scala experience, mostly akka tech stack, and some basic cats knowledge. Thanks Mircea

Most important/known: * https://http4s.org/ - an HTTP client/server * https://github.com/typelevel/fs2 - streaming * https://github.com/tpolecat/doobie - JDBC

So you need to use PGgeography scala type and import another set of implicits: https://github.com/tpolecat/doobie/blob/main/modules/postgres/src/main/scala/doobie/postgres/pgisgeographyinstances.scala

Developer removing a library integration due to above politics

Doobie removes Quill integration in order to make some sort of political protest. The Quill developers are harassed on Twitter.

The libraries doobie and skunk are more closely associated with cats. They both use cats-effect and fs2 for implementing database connectiona and input-output operations. The doobie library is a wrapper on JDBC, and as such is compatible with many DBMS, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, H2, Oracle... Whereas skunk is specific to PostgreSQL, and is based on using the server protocol of that database.

You may find this issue helpful. tl;dr you can easily make a Transactor with the void Strategy that just ignores the null Connection. But I’m with Rob: at that point, you’re not actually testing anything.
