Utilities for working with the Cumulus database.

Versioning

Cumulus uses a modified semantic versioning scheme and minor releases likely include breaking changes.

Before upgrade, please read the Cumulus release notes before upgraded.

It is strongly recommended you do not use ^ in your package.json to automatically update to new minor versions. Instead, pin the version or use ~ to automatically update to new patch versions.

Installation

  npm install @cumulus/db

Contents

Types

TypeScript interfaces describing the data types stored in the Cumulus database are found in the /types directory.

Typically, there are two TypeScript interfaces describing each Cumulus data type. For example:

• PostgresProvider: Describes the data structure ready for insertion into the Cumulus Postgres database
• PostgresProviderRecord: Describes the data structure after retrieval from the Cumulus database. This data type usually includes extra required properties (such as the auto-incremented primary key field), since those properties will exist once a record has been created.

BigInt cumulus_id columns

For the BigInt columns, knex returns postgres as "string" type. In order to use cumulus_id as a number, knex hook postProcessResponse is configured to convert the return string from columns ending with "cumulus_id" to number.
