### Maven
Latest release dependency:

```
### Simple Example
Model definition:
```
@Table
public interface Timeline {
@PartitionKey
UUID userId();
@ClusteringColumn
@Types.Timeuuid
Date timestamp();
@Column
String text();
}
```
Session initialization:
```
HelenusSession session = Helenus.init(getSession()).showCql().add(Timeline.class).autoCreateDrop().get();
Timeline timeline = Helenus.dsl(Timeline.class, session.getMetadata());
```
Select example:
```
session.select(timeline::userId, timeline::timestamp, timeline::text)
.where(timeline::userId, eq(userId))
.orderBy(Query.desc(timeline::timestamp)).limit(5).sync()
.forEach(System.out::println);
```
Insert example:
```
TimelineImpl post = new TimelineImpl();
post.userId=userId;
post.timestamp=new Date(postTime+1000L*i);
post.text="hello";
session.upsert(post).sync();
```
### Model and Repository Example
Account model:
```
@Table
public interface Account {
@PartitionKey
String accountId();
Date createdAt();
String organization();
String team();
String timezone();
Map users();
}
```
AccountUser model:
```
@UDT
public interface AccountUser {
String email();
String firstName();
String lastName();
}
```
Abstract repository:
```
public interface AbstractRepository {
HelenusSession session();
}
```
Account repository:
```
public interface AccountRepository extends AbstractRepository {
static final Account account = Helenus.dsl(Account.class);
static final String DEFAULT_TIMEZONE = "America/Los_Angeles";
default Future> findAccount(String accountId) {
return session()
.select(Account.class)
.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
.single()
.future();
}
default Future> createAccount(
String email,
AccountUser user,
String organization,
String team,
String timezone) {
String accountId = AccountId.next();
if (timezone == null || timezone.isEmpty()) {
timezone = DEFAULT_TIMEZONE;
}
return session()
.insert()
.value(account::accountId, accountId)
.value(account::createdAt, new Date())
.value(account::organization, organization)
.value(account::team, team)
.value(account::timezone, timezone)
.value(account::users, ImmutableMap.of(email, user))
.future(accountId);
}
default Future putAccountUser(String accountId, String email, AccountUser user) {
return session()
.update()
.put(account::users, email.toLowerCase(), user)
.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
.future();
}
default Future removeAccountUser(String accountId, String email) {
return session()
.update()
.put(account::users, email.toLowerCase(), null)
.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
.future();
}
default Future dropAccount(String accountId) {
return session()
.delete()
.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
.future();
}
}
```
