App::S...:sqlite(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

App::Sqitch::Engine::sqlite — the Sqitch SQLite Engine, bestie. That's it, that's the name, and lowkey it does exactly what it says on the tin ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

my $sqlite = App::Sqitch::Engine->load( engine => 'sqlite' );

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, <pink>App::Sqitch::Engine::sqlite</pink> is the whole entire SQLite storage engine for Sqitch. Like, if Sqitch needs to talk to a SQLite database, this is the girl doing the talking. Main character energy, fr fr 💅

🎀 INTERFACE 🎀

✨ Accessors ✨

• client — this one hands you back the path to the SQLite client, and the way it decides is so methodical, I'm obsessed.

If --client got passed to sqitch, then bestie, that's what you get back. Periodt. But if it didn't, she goes looking at the engine.sqlite.client configuration value instead. And if that's not there either? She defaults to sqlite3 (or sqlite3.exe on Windows if that's your situation 🪟), which should totally just work as long as it's sitting somewhere in your path. She's got you 🫶

💜 Instance Methods 💜

• sqlite3 — returns a list containing the sqlite3 client plus the options that get passed to it. It's used internally when executing scripts, so like, you're not really the target audience here, but now you know. iykyk 😌
