gorm-generics-api

What problem does it solve?

Provides a type-safe, context-first alternative to the traditional GORM API to avoid SQL pollution from reused DB instances, reduce runtime type errors, and make CRUD and complex queries explicit and safer in Go projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Type-safe CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete records with compile-time generics for model types.
• Advanced queries, joins, and preload: Perform enhanced joins, nested preloads, per-record limits, and scoped queries while preserving strong typing.
• Raw SQL and code generation: Run typed raw SQL queries and generate boilerplate query code using the GORM CLI to keep raw queries type-safe and maintainable.
• Use Case: Migrate a codebase to generics to prevent accidental DB state reuse and to implement efficient preloads for a social app where Users have Friends and Pets.
