Swift - 图19InfluxDB 1.8 API compatibility

1. client = InfluxDBClient(
2. url: "http://localhost:8086",
3. username: "user",
4. password: "pass",
5. database: "my-db",
6. retentionPolicy: "autogen")

8. ...

10. client.close()

Swift - 图20Writes

The WriteApi supports asynchronous writes into InfluxDB 2.x. The results of writes could be handled by (response, error), Swift.Result or Combine.

The data could be written as:

  1. String that is formatted as a InfluxDB’s Line Protocol
  2. Data Point structure
  3. Tuple style mapping with keys: measurement, tags, fields and time
  4. Array of above items

The following example demonstrates how to write data with Data Point structure. For further information see docs and examples.

1. import ArgumentParser
2. import Foundation
3. import InfluxDBSwift
4. import InfluxDBSwiftApis

6. @main
7. struct WriteData: AsyncParsableCommand {
8. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "The name or id of the bucket destination.")
9. private var bucket: String

11. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "The name or id of the organization destination.")
12. private var org: String

14. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Authentication token.")
15. private var token: String

17. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "HTTP address of InfluxDB.")
18. private var url: String
19. }

21. extension WriteData {
22. mutating func run() async throws {
23. //
24. // Initialize Client with default Bucket and Organization
25. //
26. let client = InfluxDBClient(
27. url: url,
28. token: token,
29. options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(bucket: bucket, org: org))

31. //
32. // Record defined as Data Point
33. //
34. let recordPoint = InfluxDBClient
35. .Point("demo")
36. .addTag(key: "type", value: "point")
37. .addField(key: "value", value: .int(2))
38. //
39. // Record defined as Data Point with Timestamp
40. //
41. let recordPointDate = InfluxDBClient
42. .Point("demo")
43. .addTag(key: "type", value: "point-timestamp")
44. .addField(key: "value", value: .int(2))
45. .time(time: .date(Date()))

47. try await client.makeWriteAPI().write(points: [recordPoint, recordPointDate])
48. print("Written data:\n\n\([recordPoint, recordPointDate].map { "\t- \($0)" }.joined(separator: "\n"))")
49. print("\nSuccess!")

51. client.close()
52. }
53. }

Swift - 图21Queries

The result retrieved by QueryApi could be formatted as a:

  1. Lazy sequence of FluxRecord
  2. Raw query response as a Data.

Swift - 图22Query to FluxRecord

1. import ArgumentParser
2. import Foundation
3. import InfluxDBSwift
4. import InfluxDBSwiftApis

6. @main
7. struct QueryCpu: AsyncParsableCommand {

15. private var token: String

17. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "HTTP address of InfluxDB.")
18. private var url: String
19. }

21. extension QueryCpu {
22. mutating func run() async throws {
23. //
24. // Initialize Client with default Bucket and Organization
25. //
26. let client = InfluxDBClient(
27. url: url,
28. token: token,
29. options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(bucket: bucket, org: org))

31. // Flux query
32. let query = """

41. print("\nQuery to execute:\n\(query)\n")

43. let records = try await client.queryAPI.query(query: query)

45. print("Query results:")
46. try records.forEach { print(" > \($0.values["_field"]!): \($0.values["_value"]!)") }

48. client.close()
49. }
50. }

Swift - 图23Query to Data

36. print("\nQuery to execute:\n\(query)\n")

38. let response = try await client.queryAPI.queryRaw(query: query)

40. let csv = String(decoding: response, as: UTF8.self)
41. print("InfluxDB response: \(csv)")

43. client.close()
44. }
45. }

Swift - 图24Parameterized queries

InfluxDB Cloud supports Parameterized Queries that let you dynamically change values in a query using the InfluxDB API. Parameterized queries make Flux queries more reusable and can also be used to help prevent injection attacks.

InfluxDB Cloud inserts the params object into the Flux query as a Flux record named params. Use dot or bracket notation to access parameters in the params record in your Flux query. Parameterized Flux queries support only int , float, and string data types. To convert the supported data types into other Flux basic data types, use Flux type conversion functions.

Parameterized query example:

⚠️ Parameterized Queries are supported only in InfluxDB Cloud, currently there is no support in InfluxDB OSS.

1. import ArgumentParser
2. import Foundation
3. import InfluxDBSwift
4. import InfluxDBSwiftApis

6. @main
7. struct ParameterizedQuery: AsyncParsableCommand {
8. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "The bucket to query. The name or id of the bucket destination.")
9. private var bucket: String

11. @Option(name: .shortAndLong,
12. help: "The organization executing the query. Takes either the `ID` or `Name` interchangeably.")
13. private var org: String

15. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Authentication token.")
16. private var token: String

18. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "HTTP address of InfluxDB.")
19. private var url: String
20. }

22. extension ParameterizedQuery {
23. mutating func run() async throws {
24. // Initialize Client with default Organization
25. let client = InfluxDBClient(
26. url: url,
27. token: token,
28. options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(bucket: bucket, org: org))

30. for index in 1...3 {
31. let point = InfluxDBClient
32. .Point("demo")
33. .addTag(key: "type", value: "point")
34. .addField(key: "value", value: .int(index))
35. try await client.makeWriteAPI().write(point: point)
36. }

38. // Flux query
39. let query = """
40. from(bucket: params.bucketParam)
41. |> range(start: -10m)
42. |> filter(fn: (r) => r["_measurement"] == params.measurement)
43. """

45. // Query parameters [String:String]
46. let queryParams = ["bucketParam": "\(bucket)", "measurement": "demo"]

48. print("\nQuery to execute:\n\n\(query)\n\n\(queryParams)")

50. let records = try await client.queryAPI.query(query: query, params: queryParams)

52. print("\nSuccess response...\n")

54. try records.forEach { print(" > \($0.values["_field"]!): \($0.values["_value"]!)") }

56. client.close()
57. }
58. }

Swift - 图25Delete data

The DeleteAPI supports deletes points from an InfluxDB bucket. Use the DeletePredicateRequest identifies which points to delete.

1. import ArgumentParser
2. import Foundation
3. import InfluxDBSwift
4. import InfluxDBSwiftApis

6. @main
7. struct DeleteData: AsyncParsableCommand {
8. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Specifies the bucket name to delete data from.")
9. private var bucket: String

11. @Option(name: .shortAndLong,
12. help: "Specifies the organization name to delete data from.")
13. private var org: String

15. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Authentication token.")
16. private var token: String

18. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "HTTP address of InfluxDB.")
19. private var url: String

21. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "InfluxQL-like delete predicate statement.")
22. private var predicate: String
23. }

25. extension DeleteData {
26. mutating func run() async throws {
27. // Initialize Client with default Organization
28. let client = InfluxDBClient(
29. url: url,
30. token: token,
31. options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(org: self.org))

33. // Create DeletePredicateRequest
34. let predicateRequest = DeletePredicateRequest(
35. start: Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0),
36. stop: Date(),
37. predicate: predicate)

39. try await client.deleteAPI.delete(predicate: predicateRequest, bucket: bucket, org: org)

41. print("\nDeleted data by predicate:\n\n\t\(predicateRequest)")

43. // Print date after Delete
44. try await queryData(client: client)

46. client.close()
47. }

49. private func queryData(client: InfluxDBClient) async throws {
50. let query = """
51. from(bucket: "\(bucket)")
52. |> range(start: 0)
53. |> filter(fn: (r) => r["_measurement"] == "server")
54. |> pivot(rowKey:["_time"], columnKey: ["_field"], valueColumn: "_value")
55. """

57. let response = try await client.queryAPI.query(query: query)

59. print("\nRemaining data after delete:\n")

61. try response.forEach { record in
62. let provider = record.values["provider"]!
63. let production = record.values["production"]
64. let app = record.values["app"]
65. return print("\t\(provider),production=\(production!),app=\(app!)")
66. }
67. }
68. }

The following example demonstrates how to use a InfluxDB 2.0 Management API to create new bucket. For further information see docs and examples.

1. import ArgumentParser
2. import Foundation
3. import InfluxDBSwift
4. import InfluxDBSwiftApis

6. @main
7. struct CreateNewBucket: AsyncParsableCommand {
8. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "New bucket name.")
9. private var name: String

11. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Duration bucket will retain data.")
12. private var retention: Int64 = 3600

14. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Specifies the organization name.")
15. private var org: String

17. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "Authentication token.")
18. private var token: String

20. @Option(name: .shortAndLong, help: "HTTP address of InfluxDB.")
21. private var url: String
22. }

24. extension CreateNewBucket {
25. mutating func run() async throws {
26. // Initialize Client and API
27. let client = InfluxDBClient(url: url, token: token)
28. let api = InfluxDB2API(client: client)

30. let orgId = (try await api.organizationsAPI.getOrgs(org: org)!).orgs?.first?.id

32. // Bucket configuration
33. let request = PostBucketRequest(
34. orgID: orgId!,
35. name: name,
36. retentionRules: [RetentionRule(type: RetentionRule.ModelType.expire, everySeconds: retention)])

38. // Create Bucket
39. let bucket = try await api.bucketsAPI.postBuckets(postBucketRequest: request)!

41. // Create Authorization with permission to read/write created bucket
42. let bucketResource = Resource(
43. type: Resource.ModelType.buckets,
44. id: bucket.id,
45. orgID: orgId
46. )

48. // Authorization configuration
49. let authorizationRequest = AuthorizationPostRequest(
50. description: "Authorization to read/write bucket: \(name)",
51. orgID: orgId!,
52. permissions: [
53. Permission(action: Permission.Action.read, resource: bucketResource),
54. Permission(action: Permission.Action.write, resource: bucketResource)
55. ])

57. // Create Authorization
58. let authorization = try await api.authorizationsAPI.postAuthorizations(authorizationPostRequest: authorizationRequest)!

60. print("The bucket: '\(bucket.name)' is successfully created.")
61. print("The following token could be use to read/write:")
62. print("\t\(authorization.token!)")

64. client.close()
65. }
66. }

Swift - 图27Advanced Usage

Swift - 图28Default Tags

Sometimes is useful to store same information in every measurement e.g. hostname, location, customer. The client is able to use static value or env variable as a tag value.

The expressions:

  • California Miner - static value
  • ${env.HOST_NAME} - environment property

Swift - 图29Example

1. client = InfluxDBClient(
2. url: "http://localhost:8086",
3. token: "my-token",
4. options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(bucket: "my-bucket", org: "my-org"))

6. let tuple: InfluxDBClient.Point.Tuple
7. = (measurement: "mem", tags: ["tag": "a"], fields: ["value": .int(3)], time: nil)

9. let records: [Any] = [
10. InfluxDBClient.Point("mining")
11. .addTag(key: "sensor_state", value: "normal")
12. .addField(key: "depth", value: .int(2)),
13. tuple
14. ]

16. let defaultTags = InfluxDBClient.PointSettings()
17. .addDefaultTag(key: "customer", value: "California Miner")
18. .addDefaultTag(key: "sensor_id", value: "${env.SENSOR_ID}")

20. try await client.makeWriteAPI(pointSettings: defaultTags).writeRecords(records: records)
21. print("Successfully written default tags")
Swift - 图30Example Output
1. mining,customer=California\ Miner,sensor_id=123-456-789,sensor_state=normal depth=2i
2. mining,customer=California\ Miner,sensor_id=123-456-789,sensor_state=normal pressure=3i

Swift - 图31Proxy and redirects

⚠️ The connectionProxyDictionary cannot be defined on Linux. You have to set HTTPS_PROXY or HTTP_PROXY system environment.

You can configure the client to tunnel requests through an HTTP proxy by connectionProxyDictionary option:

1. var connectionProxyDictionary = [AnyHashable: Any]()
2. connectionProxyDictionary[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPEnable as String] = 1
3. connectionProxyDictionary[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPProxy as String] = "localhost"
4. connectionProxyDictionary[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPPort as String] = 3128

6. let options: InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions = InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(
7. bucket: "my-bucket",
8. org: "my-org",
9. precision: .ns,
10. connectionProxyDictionary: connectionProxyDictionary)

12. client = InfluxDBClient(url: "http://localhost:8086", token: "my-token", options: options)

For more info see - URLSessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary, Global Proxy Settings Constants.

Swift - 图32Redirects

Client automatically follows HTTP redirects. You can disable redirects by an urlSessionDelegate configuration:

1. class DisableRedirect: NSObject, URLSessionTaskDelegate {
2. func urlSession(_ session: URLSession,
3. task: URLSessionTask,
4. willPerformHTTPRedirection response: HTTPURLResponse,
5. newRequest request: URLRequest,
6. completionHandler: @escaping (URLRequest?) -> Void) {
7. completionHandler(nil)
8. }
9. }

11. let options = InfluxDBClient.InfluxDBOptions(
12. bucket: "my-bucket",
13. org: "my-org",
14. urlSessionDelegate: DisableRedirect())

16. client = InfluxDBClient(url: "http://localhost:8086", token: "my-token", options: options)

For more info see - URLSessionDelegate.
