[Feature request] Swift 4 Encoder Decoder

[patrick-zippenfenig]

Hi,
I recently stumbled across this library and startet to wonder if it would be possible to use new Swift 4 Encoder and Decoder as some sort of ORM.
Select statements could directly populate structs/objects.

struct MyTable {
  var iint8 : Int8 = -1
  var uint8: UInt8 = 1
  var int16 : Int16 = -1
}

let table = MySQL.Table(tableName: "my_table", connection: con)
let row = try table.select(Where: ["id=", 90])

let decoder = MySQL.Decoder()
let my_table = try! decoder.decode(MyTable.self, for: row)

Would such a feature be possible? Or are there limitations?

Regards,
Patrick

take a look at the latest version. In MySQLSampleOSX you will find a working example.

Nice. Although performance does not look ideal.
I opened another feature request at mysql-swift library and provided some example code for Decodeable: novi/mysql-swift#58
