Simple functional helpers for node-postgres.

Requires Node >= ^10.0.0 and node-postgres ^8.0.0

• Pool and Client are no longer an instance of pg._Pool and pg._Client respectively.
• isConnected is renamed with canConnect
• Now user proper ES6 class extends.

• Due to new es6 codes, this module now requires Node v8.1.4 and above.
• This module no longer mutates pg.Pool and pg.Client, it instead extends them and store them as pg._Pool and pg._Client
• It no longer automatically initialize the Pool unless a third Object argument is passed {singleton:true}
• pg-Lazy now returns a default Object { pg, Pool, Client, sql, _raw } in which Pool is an instance of pg._Pool and Client is an instance of pg._Client. To get the original pg.Pool and pg.Client instances, you can use pg to access them.
• If {singleton:true} is passed as a third argument, it then adds pool from the returned Object. This pool is an already-initialized pg._Pool

npm install pg-lazy pg --save or yarn add pg-lazy pg

Manual Pool initialization:

const pgLazy = require('pg-lazy'); // create your configuration const connectionString = 'postgres://localhost:5432/pg_test'; // pool instance is no longer initiated, you must initialize it using pg.Pool. const { Pool, sql, _raw, pg } = pgLazy(require('pg'), { connectionString }); const pool = new Pool() async function getUser(name,id){ // regular query return pool.query(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE name = ${name}`); // many for more than 1 result return pool.many(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id > ${id}`); // one for single result return pool.one(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id = ${id}`); // none for no result return pool.many(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id < 0`); } async function(){ const username = await getUser('john',5) }

Automatic Pool initialization:

const pgLazy = require('pg-lazy'); // create your configuration const connectionString = 'postgres://localhost:5432/pg_test'; // pool instance is automatically initialized when passing {singleton:true} const { pool, sql, _raw, pg } = pgLazy(require('pg'), { connectionString }, {singleton:true}); async function getUser(name,id){ // regular query return pool.query(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE name = ${name}`); // many for more than 1 result return pool.many(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id > ${id}`); // one for single result return pool.one(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id = ${id}`); // none for no result return pool.many(sql`SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id < 0`); } async function(){ const username = await getUser('john',5) }

• pg.Pool with prototype methods query,many, one, none, withTransaction, canConnect.

• pg.Client with prototype methods query,many, one, none, canConnect.

• Extends both with .prepared(name).{query,many,one}()

• All methods returns a Promise

• Automatically defaults to Environment variables for DB config, that means you can also set your DB config via process.env

• Configures the client parser to parse postgres ints and numerics into javascript numbers (else SELECT 1::int8 would return a string "1").

• Accepts String, Objects and connectionString for configuration,

• Exposes sql and _raw template literal helpers for writing queries.

  const uname = 'nisha42' const key = 'uname' const direction = 'desc' await pool.one(sql`  SELECT *  FROM users  WHERE lower(uname) = lower(${uname}) `.append(_raw`ORDER BY ${key} ${direction}`))

• All query methods fail if the query you pass in is not built with the sql or _raw tag. This avoids the issue of accidentally introducing sql injection with template literals. If you want normal template literal behavior (dumb interpolation), you must tag it with _raw.

const pgLazy = require('pg-lazy'); const url = 'postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/my-db' const { pool, sql, _raw, pg } = pgLazy(require('pg'), { connectionString:url },{ singleton:true }); exports.findUserByUname = async function (uname) { return pool.one(sql`  SELECT *  FROM users  WHERE lower(uname) = lower(${uname})  `) } exports.listUsersInCities = async function (cities, direction = 'DESC') { return pool.many(sql`  SELECT *  FROM users  WHERE city = ANY (${cities})  `.append(_raw`ORDER BY uname ${direction}`)) } exports.transferBalance = async function (from, to, amount) { return pool.withTransaction(async (client) => { await client.query(sql`  UPDATE accounts SET amount = amount - ${amount} WHERE id = ${from}  `) await client.query(sql`  UPDATE accounts SET amount = amount + ${amount} WHERE id = ${to}  `) }) }

pg-extra forces you to tag template strings with sql or _raw. You usually use sql.

sql is a simple helper that translates this:

sql`  SELECT *  FROM users  WHERE lower(uname) = lower(${'nisha42'})  AND faveFood = ANY (${['kibble', 'tuna']}) `

into the sql bindings object that node-postgres expects:

{ text: `  SELECT *  FROM users  WHERE lower(uname) = lower($1)  AND faveFood = ANY ($2)  `, values: ['nisha42', ['kibble', 'tuna']] }

_raw is how you opt-in to regular string interpolation, made ugly so that it stands out.

Use .append() to chain on to the query. The argument to .append() must also be tagged with sql or _raw.

sql`${'foo'} ${'bar'}`.append(_raw`${'baz'}`) // '$1 $2 baz' _raw`${'foo'} ${'bar'}`.append(sql`${'baz'}`) // 'foo bar $1'

Setup local postgres database with seeded rows that the tests expect:

• psql -c 'create user lazy_test_user with password '"'lazy_test_pw'"';' -U postgres
• psql -c 'create database lazy_test owner lazy_test_user;' -U postgres
• psql -d lazy_test -c 'create table bars (n int not null);' -U lazy_test_user
• psql -d lazy_test -c 'insert into bars (n) values (1), (2), (3);' -U lazy_test_user

Then run the tests:

`yarn test` or `npm test`
