I have received quite a few emails since the release of AIR 1.0<\/a> and Flex 3.0<\/a> regarding the AIR Cairngorm API<\/a> which I developed last year. In the time since I have been working primarily with a modified version of AIR Cairngorm which I used on a number of successful real world AIR applications, however I simply have not had the time to document and refactor for general use until recently.<\/p>\n

In case you are not familiar with AIR Cairngorm it is an open source project built on top of Adobe Cairngorm<\/a> which provides a framework for working with the Adobe AIR SQLite API while building an application with Cairngorm.<\/p>\n

AIR Cairngorm is built around the SQLService<\/code> class which essentially wraps the AIR SQL APIs to provide a uniform interface which can be utilized as a service, much in the same way one would work with RPC services in a typical Cairngorm application. SQLService<\/code> provides an API for both synchronous and asynchronous implementations.<\/p>\n

In the time since the initial development and release<\/a> of AIR Cairngorm, which was during the early alpha releases of AIR, there has been many changes to the SQL APIs in AIR. In addition I have also developed some new best practices for working with Adobe AIR and Cairngorm, all of which I tried to roll into this latest release where possible. <\/p>\n

The following is a brief description of the current AIR Cairngorm API:<\/p>\n

AIRServiceLocator<\/strong>: The AIRServiceLocator is a sub class of Cairngorm ServiceLocator, therefore it inherits the same API as ServiceLocator while also adding additional support for working with local databases via the getSQLService<\/code> and hasSQLService<\/code> methods.
\nAIRServiceLocator<\/a><\/p>\n

SQLService<\/strong>: The SQLService<\/code> class essentially wraps the SQLStatement<\/code> and SQLConnection <\/code> classes. SQLService allows developers to create an mxml implementation defined on a Cairngorm ServiceLocator<\/code> just as one would with typical RPC services (e.g. HTTPServices, WebService etc.)
\nSQLService<\/a><\/p>\n

ISQLResponder<\/strong>: ISQLResponder<\/code> provides a consistent API from which asynchronous SQLStatement execution results and faults can be handled. ISQLResponder<\/code> is very similar to IResponder<\/code> in that it defines both a result and fault handler however with a slightly different signature which is specific to a SQLStatement<\/code> result \/ fault, (i.e. strongly typed parameters).
\nISQLResponder <\/a><\/p>\n

SQLStatementHelper<\/strong><\/code>: SQLStatementHelper <\/code> is an all static utility class which facilitates substituting tokens in a SQL statement with arbitrary values.
\nSQLStatementHelper<\/a><\/p>\n

I have also created a custom version of my Cairngen project specifically targeting AIR Cairngorm code generation. In addition I will be making some future updates to AIR Cairngorm which will include support for various other AIR APIs in Cairngorm, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Below I have provided downloads to the source, binary, air.cairngen and asdocs as well as asynchronous and synchronous example projects:
