Postache

Configuration

const postache = require("postache")

// this is a pg config object, check the offical documentation: https://node-postgres.com/features/connecting#programmatic
const pgConfig = {
  connectionString: "postgres://localhost:5432/mydb",
  ssl: {
    ca: fs.readFileSync("ca.pem").toString(),
  }
}

const db = postache(
  postache.loadDir(path.join(__dirname, "queries")), 
  {
    articlesTable: "articles",
  }, 
  pgConfig
)

Note: Older version of this library used custom connection strings which is no longer supported. You can pass a pg config object to the postache function instead.

const postache = require("postache")

const connectionString = "postgres://localhost:5432/mydb"

const pgConfig = {
  ssl: {
    ca: fs.readFileSync("ca.pem").toString(),
  }
}

const db = postache(
  postache.loadDir(path.join(__dirname, "queries")), 
  {
    articlesTable: "articles",
  }, 
  connectionString, 
  pgConfig // <--- this is optional parameter that will override pg config created from connection string
)

Usage

Instead of

db.query("select * from articles offset $1 limit $2",
  [params.offset, params.limit])

and in the queries fold your have a file getArticles.sql:

select * from {{articlesTable}}
{{> _paging}}

and a file _paging.sql which contains:

offset $offset
limit $limit

This is compiled to:

select * from articles
offset $offset
limit $limit

Which you call like this:

db.getArticles({
  offset: 0,
  limit: 10,
})
