Glibsql is a library for interacting with a hosted libSQL database such as [Turso](https://turso.tech).
## glibsql/http
`glibsql/http` helps construct a `gleam/http/request` for use with the [Hrana over HTTP](https://docs.turso.tech/sdk/http/reference) variant of libSQL,
simply pass the constructed HTTP request into your http client of choice.
```sh
gleam add glibsql
```
```gleam
import gleam/httpc
import gleam/result
import glibsql/http as glibsql
pub fn main() {
  // The first request does not have to include a `CloseStatement`,
  // a baton is returned from the first request to be used in subsequent requests.
  let request =
    base_request()
    |> glibsql.with_statement(glibsql.ExecuteStatement(
      sql: "BEGIN",
      arguments: None,
    ))
    |> glibsql.with_statement(glibsql.ExecuteStatement(
      sql: "SELECT * FROM users",
      arguments: None,
    ))
    |> glibsql.build
  let assert Ok(request) = request
  use response <- result.try(httpc.send(request))
  // ...
  // The second request uses the baton from the first request to reuse the connection.
  // This is useful if you are making multiple requests to the same database, especially
  // within a transaction.
  let second_request =
    base_request()
    |> glibsql.with_statement(glibsql.ExecuteStatement(
      sql: "UPDATE posts SET status = 'published' WHERE user_id IN (1,2,3)",
    ))
    |> glibsql.with_statement(glibsql.ExecuteStatement(
      sql: "COMMIT",
    ))
    |> glibsql.with_statement(glibsql.CloseStatement)
    |> glibsql.with_baton("<baton from previous request>")
    |> glibsql.build
  let assert Ok(second_request) = second_request
  use response <- result.try(httpc.send(second_request))
}
fn base_request() {
  glibsql.new_request()
  |> glibsql.with_database("database")
  |> glibsql.with_organization("organization")
  |> glibsql.with_token("token")
}
```
