This driver can only be used with FQL v10, and is not compatible with earlier versions of FQL. To query your databases with earlier API versions, see the faunadb version.
See the Fauna Documentation for additional information how to configure and query your databases.
Currently, the driver is tested on:
API reference documentation for the driver is available on pkg.go.dev.
For FQL templates, denote variables with ${}
and pass variables as map[string]any
to FQL()
. You can escape a variable with by prepending
an additional $
.

Use the Paginate()
method to iterate sets that contain more than one page of results.
Paginate()
accepts the same query options as Query()
.
Change the default items per page using FQL's pageSize()
method.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
)
type Product struct {
Description string `fauna:"description"`
}
func main() {
client, clientErr := fauna.NewDefaultClient()
if clientErr != nil {
panic(clientErr)
}
// Adjust `pageSize()` size as needed.
query, _ := fauna.FQL(`
Product
.byName("limes")
.pageSize(2) { description }`, nil)
paginator := client.Paginate(query)
for {
page, _ := paginator.Next()
var pageItems []Product
page.Unmarshal(&pageItems)
for _, item := range pageItems {
fmt.Println(item)
}
if !paginator.HasNext() {
break
}
}
}
The timeout of each query. This controls the maximum amount of time Fauna will execute your query before marking it failed.
package main
import "github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.Timeouts{QueryTimeout: 20 * time.Second})
}
Time beyond QueryTimeout
at which the client will abort a request if it has not received a response. The default is 5s, which should account for network latency for most clients. The value must be greater than zero. The closer to zero the value is, the more likely the client is to abort the request before the server can report a legitimate response or error.
package main
import "github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.Timeouts{ClientBufferTimeout: 20 * time.Second})
}
The amount of time to wait for the connection to complete.
package main
import "github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.Timeouts{ConnectionTimeout: 10 * time.Second})
}
The maximum amount of time an idle (keep-alive) connection will remain idle before closing itself.
package main
import "github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.Timeouts{IdleConnectionTimeout: 10 * time.Second})
}
By default the client will automatically retry a query if the request results in an HTTP status code 429. Retries use an exponential backoff. The maximum number of retries and maximum wait time before a retry can be configured on the client.
The maximum number of times the client will try a query. The default is 3.
package main
import "github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.DefaultTimeouts(), fauna.MaxAttempts(1))
}
The maximum amount of time to wait before retrying a query. Retries will use an exponential backoff up to this value. The default is 20 seconds.
package main
import (
"time"
"github.com/fauna/fauna-go/v3"
)
func main() {
client := fauna.NewClient("mysecret", fauna.DefaultTimeouts(), fauna.MaxBackoff(10 * time.Second))
}
The driver supports Event Streaming.
An Event Stream lets you consume events from an event source as a real-time subscription.
To get an event source, append
eventSource()
or eventsOn()
to a supported Set.
To start and subscribe to the stream, pass a query that produces an event source to StreamFromQuery()
:
type Product struct {
Name string `fauna:"name"`
Description string `fauna:"description"`
Price float64 `fauna:"price"`
}
func main() {
client, clientErr := fauna.NewDefaultClient()
if clientErr != nil {
panic(clientErr)
}
streamQuery, _ := fauna.FQL("Product.all().eventSource()", nil)
events, err := client.StreamFromQuery(streamQuery)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer events.Close()
var event fauna.Event
for {
err := events.Next(&event)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
switch event.Type {
case fauna.AddEvent, fauna.UpdateEvent, fauna.RemoveEvent:
var product Product
if err = event.Unmarshal(&product); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(product)
}
}
}
In query results, the driver represents an event source as an EventSource
value.
To start a stream from a query result, call Stream()
and pass the EventSource
.
This lets you output a stream alongside normal query results:
type Product struct {
Name string `fauna:"name"`
Description string `fauna:"description"`
Price float64 `fauna:"price"`
}
func main() {
client, clientErr := fauna.NewDefaultClient()
if clientErr != nil {
panic(clientErr)
}
dataLoad, _ := fauna.FQL(`
let products = Product.all()
{
Products: products.toArray(),
Source: products.eventSource()
}
`, nil)
data, err := client.Query(dataLoad)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
queryResult := struct {
Products []Product
Source fauna.EventSource
}{}
if err := data.Unmarshal(&queryResult); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Existing products:")
for _, product := range queryResult.Products {
fmt.Println(product)
}
events, err := client.Stream(queryResult.Source)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer events.Close()
fmt.Println("Products from streaming:")
var event fauna.Event
for {
err := events.Next(&event)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
switch event.Type {
case fauna.AddEvent, fauna.UpdateEvent, fauna.RemoveEvent:
var product Product
if err = event.Unmarshal(&product); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(product)
}
}
}
The client configuration sets default query options for
StreamFromQuery()
and Stream()
. To override these options, see query options.
The StreamFromQuery()
and Stream()
methods accept
StreamOptFn
functions as arguments.
Use StreamStartTime()
to restart a stream at a specific timestamp:
streamQuery, _ := fauna.FQL(`Product.all().eventSource()`, nil)
tenMinutesAgo := time.Now().Add(-10 * time.Minute)
client.StreamFromQuery(streamQuery, fauna.StreamOptFn{
fauna.StreamStartTime(tenMinutesAgo),
})
Use EventCursor()
to resume a stream from an event cursor after a disconnect:
client.StreamFromQuery(streamQuery, fauna.StreamOptFn{
fauna.EventCursor("<cursor>"),
})
For supported functions, see StreamOptFn in the API reference.
The driver supports Event Feeds. See example.
To enable debug logging set the FAUNA_DEBUG
environment variable to an integer for the value of the desired slog.Level.
For Go versions 1.21 and earlier, the driver uses a log.Logger.
For 1.22+, the driver uses the slog.Logger.
You can optionally define your own Logger.
For an example, see CustomLogger
in logging_slog_test.go.

Authorization
header is redacted when logging.
