Fluent

Fluent is an ORM framework for Swift. It takes advantage of Swift's strong type system to provide an easy-to-use interface for your database. Using Fluent centers around the creation of model types that represent data structures in your database. These models are then used to perform create, read, update, and delete operations instead of writing raw queries. When creating a project using vapor new, answer "yes" to including Fluent and choose which database driver you want to use. This will automatically add the dependencies to your new project as well as example configuration code. If you have an existing project that you want to add Fluent to, you will need to add two dependencies to your package. PostgreSQL is an open source, standards compliant SQL database. It is easily configurable on most cloud hosting providers. This is Fluent's recommended database driver.
