Simple Example

Model definition:

@Table("timelines")
public interface Timeline {

	@PartitionKey
	UUID userId();

	@ClusteringColumn
	@Types.Timeuuid
	Date timestamp();

	@Column
	String text();

}

Session initialization:

Timeline timeline = Helenus.dsl(Timeline.class);
HelenusSession session = Helenus.init(getSession()).showCql().add(Timeline.class).autoCreateDrop().get();

Select example:

session.select(timeline::userId, timeline::timestamp, timeline::text)
  .where(timeline::userId, Query.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<String, AccountUser> users();
}

AccountUser model:

@UDT
public interface AccountUser {

	String email();
	
	String firstName();

	String lastName();
	
}

Abstract repository:

public interface AbstractRepository {

	HelenusSession session();
	
}

Account repository:

import scala.concurrent.Future;

public interface AccountRepository extends AbstractRepository {

	static final Account account = Helenus.dsl(Account.class);
	
	static final String DEFAULT_TIMEZONE = "America/Los_Angeles";
	
	default Future<Optional<Account>> findAccount(String accountId) {
		
		return session()
				.select(Account.class)
				.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
				.single()
				.future();
		
	}
	
	default Future<Fun.Tuple2<ResultSet, String>> 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<ResultSet> putAccountUser(String accountId, String email, AccountUser user) {
		
		return session()
				.update()
				.put(account::users, email.toLowerCase(), user)
				.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
				.future();
		
	}
	
	default Future<ResultSet> removeAccountUser(String accountId, String email) {
		
		return session()
				.update()
				.put(account::users, email.toLowerCase(), null)
				.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
				.future();
		
	}
	
	default Future<ResultSet> dropAccount(String accountId) {
		
		return session()
				.delete()
				.where(account::accountId, eq(accountId))
				.future();
		
	}
