Sequel VS MongoMapper

Sequel

• There's SQL in my Ruby
  2 projects | dev.to | 7 Apr 2023

  I love the Sequel library from Jeremy Evans (so much better than Rails' AREL). I've used it as my ORM-of-choice since 2008. When leveraging Sequel I almost always use the DSL, but there are times that I want to use bare SQL. When that happens, I almost always use HEREDOCs and my own version of String#squish.

  sequel is a pretty good option! To use the above snowflake adapter for sequel, you'll have to learn to use sequel (which is pretty easy). https://sequel.jeremyevans.net/

  I've been on the Roda [0] and Sequel [1] framework for over 10 years now across various projects. Even after all these years, starting a project in this stack feels like a breath of fresh air even compared to the newer language/frameworks that jabe come out since.

  Jeremy Evans is the creator and maintainer of both of these Ruby gems and is super helpful in resolving ask kinda of issues.

  Please allow me to introduce Sequel (https://sequel.jeremyevans.net/) for your consideration.

• What It Took to Build a Rails Integration for Rodauth

  Even though Rodauth is built on top of Roda and Sequel, it can work as a Rack middleware in any Ruby web framework. In the beginning, there was a demo app showing how Rodauth can be used in Rails, which leveraged the (now discontinued) roda-rails gem. However, the integration felt fairly raw, and definitely lacked the ergonomics Rails developers are used to.

• Sinatra vs. Roda, what's your take?

  I'm a big fan of Sinatra, but recently I came across Roda which is by Jeremy Evan's whose wonderful ORM gem Sequel I've used in several projects. Looking at the documentation, Roda seems quite nice and performance gain is always appreciated.

• Ask HN: What are some examples of elegant software?

  Sequel [1], the Ruby ORM. It's rock-solid, provides similar abstractions to Active Record but feels much better thought out, and it has great docs.

  Also, at any point in time, it's likely to have zero open issues and zero open pull requests, which is pretty impressive for a project of its size.

  The most excellent ORM I've ever worked with was sequel for ruby. The only time I felt the tool wasn't working against me, and gave me access to all those advanced db features ORM are so good at hiding from you.
