libsql-experimental v0.0.39

libSQL API for Node

libSQL is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite. This source repository contains libSQL API bindings for Node, which aims to be compatible with better-sqlite3, but with opt-in promise API.

Features

• In-memory databases and local database files, like SQLite
• Remote database access to libSQL server
• In-app replica that syncs with a libSQL server

Installing

You can install the package with npm:

npm i libsql-experimental

Documentation

• API reference

Getting Started

To try out your first libsql program, type the following in hello.js:

import Database from 'libsql-experimental';

const db = new Database(':memory:');

db.exec("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, email TEXT)");
db.exec("INSERT INTO users (id, name, email) VALUES (1, 'Alice', 'alice@example.org')");

const row = db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?").get(1);

console.log(`Name: ${row.name}, email: ${row.email}`);

and then run:

$ node hello.js

To use the promise API, import libsql-experimental/promise:

import Database from 'libsql-experimental/promise';

const db = new Database(':memory:');

await db.exec("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, email TEXT)");
await db.exec("INSERT INTO users (id, name, email) VALUES (1, 'Alice', 'alice@example.org')");

const stmt = await db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?");
const row = stmt.get(1);

console.log(`Name: ${row.name}, email: ${row.email}`);

Connecting to a local database file

import Database from 'libsql-experimental';

const db = new Database('hello.db');

Connecting to a Remote libSQL server

import Database from 'libsql-experimental';

const url = process.env.LIBSQL_URL;
const authToken = process.env.LIBSQL_AUTH_TOKEN;

const opts = {
  authToken: authToken,
};

const db = new Database(url, opts);

Creating an in-app replica and syncing it

import libsql_experimental as libsql

const opts = { syncUrl: "<url>", authToken: "<optional auth token>" };
const db = new Database('hello.db', opts);
db.sync();

Creating a table

db.exec("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER, email TEXT);")

Inserting rows into a table

db.exec("INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'alice@example.org')")

Querying rows from a table

const row = db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?").get(1);

Developing

To build the libsql package, run:

npm run build

You can then run the integration tests with:

npm link
cd integration-tests
npm link libsql-experimental
npm test
