| 48 | +## Key Modules |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +| Module | Purpose | |
| 51 | +|--------|---------| |
| 52 | +| `Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3` | Main adapter entry point. Implements `Ecto.Adapter` and `Ecto.Adapter.Storage` behaviours. Handles configuration, type loaders/dumpers, and storage management. | |
| 53 | +| `Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3.Connection` | SQL query generation. Implements `Ecto.Adapter.Queryable` to translate Ecto queries into SQLite-compatible SQL strings. This is the largest module. | |
| 54 | +| `Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3.Codec` | Value encoding/decoding between Elixir types and SQLite storage. Handles bools, JSON, decimals, datetimes, and blobs. | |
| 55 | +| `Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3.TypeExtension` | Behaviour for defining custom type extensions. | |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +## Development Commands |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Testing |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```bash |
| 62 | +# Run unit tests (default) |
| 63 | +mix test |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +# Run integration tests (uses full Ecto integration suite) |
| 66 | +EXQLITE_INTEGRATION=true mix test |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Unit tests cover query generation and codec logic. Integration tests exercise the full Ecto adapter against a real SQLite database. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### Linting |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```bash |
| 74 | +# Run all lint checks (format check, unused deps, credo) |
| 75 | +mix lint |
| 76 | +``` |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +This runs: |
| 79 | +1. `mix format --check-formatted` — code formatting |
| 80 | +2. `mix deps.unlock --check-unused` — unused dependency check |
| 81 | +3. `mix credo --all --strict` — static analysis |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### Code Formatting |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +```bash |
| 86 | +mix format |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Formatter config (`.formatter.exs`): line length is **88 characters**. Applies to `{lib,test,bench}/**/*.{ex,exs}`. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Benchmarks |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +```bash |
| 94 | +mix run bench/all.exs |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Benchmarks compare SQLite3 against Postgres and MySQL adapters. Results are written to `bench/results/`. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Code Conventions |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +- **Formatting**: Elixir formatter with 88-char line length. Credo enforces additional style rules. |
| 102 | +- **Module docs**: Credo requires `@moduledoc` on all public modules (`Credo.Check.Readability.ModuleDoc` is enabled). |
| 103 | +- **Tests**: Use `ExUnit.Case` with `async: true` where possible. Connection tests use `Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3.TestHelpers` for planning queries and asserting generated SQL. |
| 104 | +- **Test pattern for query generation**: Plan the query, then assert against the generated SQL string: |
| 105 | + ```elixir |
| 106 | + query = Schema |> select([r], r.x) |> plan() |
| 107 | + assert ~s{SELECT s0."x" FROM "schema" AS s0} == all(query) |
| 108 | + ``` |
| 109 | +- **Private helpers**: Internal functions (escaping, quoting, expression building) are private. Public API is the adapter behaviour callbacks. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +## Architecture Notes |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Query Generation Flow |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +1. Ecto calls adapter callbacks (`all/1`, `insert/7`, etc.) |
| 116 | +2. `Connection` module translates Ecto AST into SQL iodata |
| 117 | +3. SQL is executed via `Exqlite` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### Type System |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +- Elixir types (e.g., `:binary_id`, `:map`, `:utc_datetime`) are mapped to SQLite storage types via `loaders/2` and `dumpers/2` |
| 122 | +- `Codec` handles the actual encoding/decoding |
| 123 | +- `TypeExtension` allows user-defined custom type mappings |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +### SQLite-Specific Defaults |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +The adapter overrides several SQLite defaults for better defaults: |
| 128 | +- `journal_mode`: `:wal` (instead of `:delete`) |
| 129 | +- `temp_store`: `:memory` (instead of `:file`) |
| 130 | +- `foreign_keys`: `:on` (instead of `:off`) |
| 131 | +- `busy_timeout`: `2000` (instead of `0`) |
| 132 | +- `cache_size`: `-64000` (instead of `-2000`) |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## CI/CD |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +GitHub Actions runs on all pushes and PRs: |
| 137 | +- **Lint job**: `mix lint` on Ubuntu with Elixir 1.20 / OTP 29 |
| 138 | +- **Test matrix**: Elixir 1.18-1.20 × OTP 27-29 on Ubuntu (with exclusions for incompatible combos) |
| 139 | + |
