LOKE DB Kit

A lib for use with database libraries

const dbKit = require("@loke/db-kit");

Knex

createConfig(options)

const knex = require("knex");
const dbUri = "postgres://localhost/test-db";

const dbClient = knex(dbKit.knex.createConfig({ connection: dbUri }));

or if you're using a knexfile.js

module.exports = dbKit.knex.createConfig({
  connection: process.env.DATABASE_URL || { database: "test-link" }
});

The options are as follows

connection

Gets passed directly to knex

client

The sql client to use, defaults to "pg".

migrationsDirectory

Where to place the db migrations, defaults to "./lib/postgres/migrations".

async setup(dbClient, logger, options)

const knex = require("knex");

const dbClient = knex(/* ... */);

dbKit.knex.setup(dbClient, console);

Options are:

slowQueryThreshold

Threshold for logging slow queries in ms, defaults to 200

migrateUp

weather or not setup should migrate the db to the latest schema. Defaults to true.

registerMetrics(registry)

Regester metrics with prom-client

const { register } = require("prom-client");

dbKit.knex.registerMetrics(register);

formatConnection(connection)

Formats a connection object/string that is valid in knex(), redacts the password.

console.log("Using database", dbKit.knex.formatConnection(uri));

Best Practice

Bringing this all together you should probably have something like...

knexfile.js

const { knex } = require("@loke/db-kit");

module.exports = knex.createConfig({
  connection: process.env.DATABASE_URL || { database: "service-name" }
});

server.js

const dbKit = require("@loke/db-kit");
const lokeLogger = require("@loke/logger");
const promClient = require("prom-client");

const dbConfig = require("./knexfile");


dbKit.knex.registerMetrics(promClient.register);


function main() {
  const logger = lokeLogger.create({ metricsRegistry: promClient.register });
  
  logger.info("Using database", dbKit.knex.formatConnection(dbConfig.connection));
  const dbClient = knex(dbConfig, logger.withPrefix("db"));
  
  await dbKit.knex.setup(dbClient, dbLogger);
  
  // ...
}
