Slick 3.0.0 - update row with only non-null values - scala

Question

Having a table with the columns
class Data(tag: Tag) extends Table[DataRow](tag, "data") {
def id = column[Int]("id", O.PrimaryKey)
def name = column[String]("name")
def state = column[State]("state")
def price = column[Int]("price")
def * = (id.?, name, state, price) <> ((DataRow.apply _).tupled, DataRow.unapply)
}
I'd like to write a function that would select a single row, and update the columns where the supplied values are not null.
def update(id: Int, name: Option[String], state: Option[State], price: Option[Int])
eg.
update(1, None, None, Some(5)) would update only the price of the data row 1, leaving the name and state intact
update(1, Some("foo"), None, Some(6)) would update the name and price, but leave its state intact.
I guess some smart mapping could be used, but I'm having a hard time expressing it, not sure how it could spit out different length tuples depending on the inputs (wether their value is defined), since they are more or less "unrelated" classes.
def update(id: Int, name: Option[String], state: Option[State], price: Option[Int]) = {
table.fiter(_.id == id). ???? .update(name, state, price)
}

I solved it in the following way.
The implementation below works only if it is a Product object.
Execute the update statement except for None for the Option type and null for the object type.

trait PatchActionImplicits {
implicit def queryPatchActionExtensionMethods[U <: Product, C[_]](

createPatchActionExtensionMethods(updateCompiler.run(q.toNode).tree, ())
}

val newConverter = TypeMappingResultConverter(productResultConverter, (p: Product) => p, (a: Any) => toMapped(a))
val newValue: Product = new ProductWrapper(products)
val newSql = sres.sql match {
case updateQuerySplitRegExp(prefix, setter, suffix) =>
val buffer = StringBuilder.newBuilder
buffer.append(prefix)
buffer.append(
updateQuerySetterRegExp
.findAllIn(setter)
.zipWithIndex
.filter(s => indexes.contains(s._2))
.map(_._1)
.mkString(", ")

buffer.append(suffix)
buffer.toString()
}

st.clearParameters

Example
// Model

// Table
class Users(tag: Tag) extends Table[User](tag, "users") {

def name = column[String]("name")
def username = column[String]("username")
def password = column[String]("password")
override def * = (id.?, name.?, username.?, password.?) <>(User.tupled, User.unapply)
}
// TableQuery
object Users extends TableQuery(new Users(_))
// CustomDriver
trait CustomDriver extends PostgresDriver with PatchActionExtensionMethodsSupport {
override val api: API = new API {}
trait API extends super.API with PatchActionImplicits
}
// Insert
Users += User(Some(1), Some("Test"), Some("test"), Some("1234"))
// User patch
Users.filter(_.id === 1).patch(User(name = Some("Change Name"), username = Some("")))

Answer 2

Building on JonasAnso's answer, converting that to slick v3.0+, and putting it into a transaction:
def partialUpdate(id: Int, name: Option[String], login: Option[String]): Future[Int] = {
val selectQ = users.filter(_.id === id)
val query = selectQ.result.head.flatMap { data =>
selectQ.update(data.patch(name, login))
}
db.run(query)
}

As I commented the question is similar to an existing one, but you don't seem to have any extra requirements.
The simplest approach is just SELECT + UPDATE. For example you add a patch function in your DataRow class defining how you want to update your model
def patch(name: Option[String], state: Option[State], price: Option[Int]): Data {
this.copy(name = name.getOrElse(this.name), ...)
}
And you add a partialUpdate method in your repo class
class DataRepo {
private val Datas = TableQuery[Data]
val db = ???
def partialUpdate(id: Int, name: Option[String], state: Option[State], price: Option[Int]): Future[Int] = {
val query = Datas.filter(_.id === id)
for {
data <- db.run(query.result.head)
result <- db.run(query.update(data.patch(name, state, price)))
} yield result
}
}
As you see the main problem of this solution is that there are 2 SQL statements, SELECT and UPDATE.
Other solution is to use plain SQL (http://slick.typesafe.com/doc/3.0.0/sql.html) but of course this gives other problems.
