Hello! I was looking for a query builder for PostGIS and was directed to HoneySQL. I understand that there is no PostGIS support but might something like this work through JDBC?

(def postgis-map {:select [:city/name :state/name :city/geom]
                  :from   [:city]
                  :join   [:state (sql/raw ["ST_Intersects(" :city/geom ", " :state/geom ")"])]})

(sql/format postgis-map :namespace-as-table? true)
;; => ["SELECT city.name, state.name, city.geom FROM city INNER JOIN state ON ST_Intersects(city.geom, state.geom)"]

That's the approach I take

It works fine

With honeysql v2, out in due course, it becomes a lot easier

i.e.,

(defn location->st-point
  [{:keys [lat lng] :as location}]
  [[:ST_SetSRID [:ST_MakePoint (round6 lng) (round6 lat)] [:cast 4326 :integer]]])

anything starting with a : is interpreted as a function call

(that is in honeysql v2 syntax)

Cool, excited to get this working! 🙂

On a sidenote, is there a place I can look at the unstable(?) implementation of honeysql v2?

yes

seancorfield/honeysql {:mvn/version "2.0.0-alpha1"}

and https://cljdoc.org/d/seancorfield/honeysql/2.0.0-alpha1/doc/readme

@zackteo Even 1.x supports PostGIS expressions -- there's a section in the README about it: https://github.com/seancorfield/honeysql/#postgis /cc @dharrigan

(and, yes, 2.x makes this even easier)
