📋 Overview

A lightweight, modern C++ client for Azure Cosmos DB REST API. Designed for C++ developers who want a simple, functional interface without unnecessary abstractions.

Key Features

• C++23 Native - Modern C++ with structured bindings and initializer lists
• JSON-First - Configuration, I/O, and results all use JSON
• Simple Interface - Minimal abstractions, maximum clarity
• Full Cosmos SQL API - Complete REST API implementation
• Single Header - Easy integration
• Cross-Platform - Windows, macOS, and Linux support
• Async Operations - Built-in async/await support
• Zero-Cost Abstractions - Only pay for what you use

Dependencies

• nlohmann/json - JSON library
• azure-cpp-utils - Azure utilities
• restcl - REST client library

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/SiddiqSoft/CosmosClient.git
cd CosmosClient
git submodule update --init --recursive

Build

# macOS
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake --preset Apple-Debug ..
cmake --build .

# Linux
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake --preset Linux-Clang-Debug ..
cmake --build .

Usage Example

#include "nlohmann/json.hpp"
#include "siddiqsoft/cosmoscl.hpp"

int main() {
    // Create client instance
    siddiqsoft::CosmosClient cc;

    // Configure with connection strings
    cc.configure({
        {"partitionKeyNames", {"__pk"}},
        {"connectionStrings", {primaryCS, secondaryCS}}
    });

    // Create a document
    auto response = cc.createDocument({
        .database   = "mydb",
        .collection = "mycoll",
        .document   = {
            {"id", "doc1"},
            {"__pk", "partition1"},
            {"name", "My Document"},
            {"value", 42}
        }
    });

    if (response.statusCode == 201) {
        std::cout << "Document created!" << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

🛠️ Development

Prerequisites

macOS:

brew install cmake llvm docker

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt-get install cmake clang-15 docker.io

Build & Test

# Automated build and test
./build_and_test.sh debug macos  # or linux

# Manual build
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake --preset Apple-Debug ..
cmake --build . -j$(nproc)

# Run tests
ctest --output-on-failure --verbose

Test Suite

• 100+ Tests - Comprehensive test coverage
• 5 Categories - Validation, Connection, Endpoint, Integration, Comprehensive
• Unified Setup - Single shared database for all tests
• No Emulator Required - Validation tests run without Azure Cosmos Emulator

Windows Docker Tests

Docker-based tests are disabled on Windows in the CI/CD pipeline. This is because the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator Docker image is only available for Linux containers, and Windows agents cannot run Linux containers without additional virtualization overhead. Windows builds focus on compilation and packaging validation. For full integration testing, use macOS or Linux environments.

For detailed testing information, see DEVELOPER_BUILD_GUIDE.md.

📖 API Usage

Basic Operations

// Create document
auto resp = cc.createDocument({
    .database   = "db",
    .collection = "coll",
    .document   = {{"id", "1"}, {"__pk", "pk1"}}
});

// Find document
auto resp = cc.findDocument({
    .database     = "db",
    .collection   = "coll",
    .id           = "1",
    .partitionKey = "pk1"
});

// Update document
auto resp = cc.updateDocument({
    .database     = "db",
    .collection   = "coll",
    .id           = "1",
    .partitionKey = "pk1",
    .document     = updatedDoc
});

// Delete document
auto resp = cc.removeDocument({
    .database     = "db",
    .collection   = "coll",
    .id           = "1",
    .partitionKey = "pk1"
});

// Query documents
auto resp = cc.queryDocuments({
    .database       = "db",
    .collection     = "coll",
    .partitionKey   = "*",
    .queryStatement = "SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.status = @status",
    .queryParameters = {{{"name", "@status"}, {"value", "active"}}}
});

Async Operations

cc.async({
    .operation  = siddiqsoft::CosmosOperation::create,
    .database   = "db",
    .collection = "coll",
    .document   = {{"id", "1"}, {"__pk", "pk1"}},
    .onResponse = [](auto const& ctx, auto const& resp) {
        if (resp.statusCode == 201) {
            std::cout << "Document created!" << std::endl;
        }
    }
});

🏗️ Architecture

Design Principles

• Simplicity First - Minimal abstractions, maximum clarity
• JSON Everywhere - Configuration, I/O, and results use JSON
• Modern C++ - Leverage C++23 features
• Zero-Cost - Only pay for what you use
• Functional - Focus on solving problems, not performance
