Indexes can be configured on composition of fields and edges. The main use-case is setting uniqueness on fields under a specific relation. Let's take an example: 可以配置字段和边组成的索引,这主要用于确保某些关系下数据的唯一性。看一个例子:
In the example above, we have a City with many Streets, and we want to set the street name to be unique under each city. 上面的例子中,一个 City 有多条 Street, 我们想确保街道名在其所属的城市内是唯一的。
ent/schema/city.go
// City holds the schema definition for the City entity.
type City struct {
ent.Schema
}
// Fields of the City.
func (City) Fields() []ent.Field {
return []ent.Field{
field.String("name"),
}
}
// Edges of the City.
func (City) Edges() []ent.Edge {
return []ent.Edge{
edge.To("streets", Street.Type),
}
}
ent/schema/street.go
// Street holds the schema definition for the Street entity.
type Street struct {
ent.Schema
}
// Fields of the Street.
func (Street) Fields() []ent.Field {
return []ent.Field{
field.String("name"),
}
}
// Edges of the Street.
func (Street) Edges() []ent.Edge {
return []ent.Edge{
edge.From("city", City.Type).
Ref("streets").
Unique(),
}
}
// Indexes of the Street.
func (Street) Indexes() []ent.Index {
return []ent.Index{
index.Fields("name").
Edges("city").
Unique(),
}
}
