nopegres

zero dependency Node/Javascript driver for Postgres

Why is this called nopegres?

• Because the answer to 'does this do x', is likely 'nope'
• Client pooling? Nope.
• SSL? Nope.
• Automatic reconnects? Nope.

Wait, then why did you make this?

• For fun.
• ..But mostly to play with implementing a binary protocol and better understand of the Postgres API specifically

Test

npm test

Use

• Experiment with this library with a temporary postgres instance so any mistakes won't mess up your data

$ cd /tmp
$ initdb pgfiles
$ postgres -D pgfiles -h localhost -p 5433

• In a separate session:

$ cd path/to/nopegres
$ node
> pg = require('./index')
> conf = { port: 5433, user: process.env.USER, database: 'postgres', application_name: 'psql' }
> client = pg.createClient(conf)
Client {...}
> res = client.query('select x from values (1)')
QueryResult {...}
> res.on("row", (row) => console.log(row))
{ x: 1 }
> client.end()
> client.status
'disconnected'

Client (Event Emitter)

• statusChange - emitted every time Client.status changes
• • statuses: connecting | connected | authenticating | readyForQuery | querying | disconnected

QueryResult (Event Emitter)

Events

• row - emits a result row from the query
• complete - query has completed
• done - no more messages will be received on this Emitter, safe to drop all listeners
• error - emitted on server error, emits an error message string
