deno-postgres

PostgreSQL driver for Deno.

It's still work in progress, but you can take it for a test drive!

deno-postgres is being developed based on excellent work of node-postgres and pq.

To Do:

connecting to database
password handling - cleartext, MD5
DSN style connection parameters
reading connection parameters from environmental variables
termination of connection
simple queries (no arguments)
parsing Postgres data types to native TS types
row description
parametrized queries
connection pooling
parsing error response
SSL
tests, tests, tests

Example

import { Client } from "https://deno.land/x/postgres/mod.ts";

async function main() {
  const client = new Client({
    user: "user",
    database: "test",
    host: "localhost",
    port: "5432"
  });
  await client.connect();
  const result = await client.query("SELECT * FROM people;");
  console.log(result.rows);
  await client.end();
}

main();

API

deno-postgres follows node-postgres API to make transition for Node devs as easy as possible.

Connecting to DB

If any of parameters is missing it is read from environmental variable.

import { Client } from "https://deno.land/x/postgres/mod.ts";

let config;

config = {
  host: "localhost",
  port: "5432",
  user: "user",
  database: "test",
  application_name: "my_custom_app"
};
// alternatively
config = "postgres://user@localhost:5432/test?application_name=my_custom_app";

const client = new Client(config);
await client.connect();
await client.end();

Queries

Simple query

const result = await client.query("SELECT * FROM people;");
console.log(result.rows);

Parametrized query

const result = await client.query(
  "SELECT * FROM people WHERE age > $1 AND age < $2;",
  10,
  20
);
console.log(result.rows);

// equivalent using QueryConfig interface
const result = await client.query({
  text: "SELECT * FROM people WHERE age > $1 AND age < $2;",
  args: [10, 20]
});
console.log(result.rows);
