Hey Everyone,
Greetings, I am a total newb to haskell, so, I have a strange question (perhaps). Consider I have a data model which looks like this;
data Brand = Brand { id :: Int,
name :: String,
created_at :: String,
updated_at :: String
}
Now, I have a sqlite3 function such as
checkout :: Int -> IO (Either String [[Row Value]])
checkout a = do
handle <- openConnection "/Users/stef/haskell/db/development.sqlite3"
execStatement handle $ "SELECT * from brands where id = " ++ show a
From this, I get a Row/Tuple. So far, so good, but, the question _I_ have is, how do you go about mapping a returned row to the data model ? Is this even a design pattern that is used in FP languages ? I admit, I have spent numerous years in the MVC world, so, perhaps this is simply "not done". It would seem to be a much nicer thing to then do ;
name myBrandModel
Thanks for reading this far, feel free to complain about my design :D
Regards
S.
