Hands-On Server-Side Web Development with Swift

Using the MySQL database driver

The steps to configure MySQL are similar to the steps for configuring SQLite and PostgreSQL. Let's get started:

1. Add it as a dependency in Package.swift:

import PackageDescriptionlet package = Package(    name: "MyJournal",    dependencies: [        ...        .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/fluent-mysql.git", from: "3.0.0"),    ],    targets: [        .target(name: "App", dependencies: ["FluentMySQL", ...]),        .target(name: "Run", dependencies: ["App"]),        .testTarget(name: "AppTests", dependencies: ["App"]),    ])

2. Regenerate your Xcode project files after modifying Package.swift:

$ vapor xcode

3. Register MySQLProvider in configure.swift:

import MySQLtry services.register(MySQLProvider())

This will enable all of the services required ...
