Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this documentation will help you get started with easy-psql and leverage its capabilities to interact with your PostgreSQL databases efficiently.

Note: This package is intended for personal usage, and no tests have been written for it. Therefore, it is recommended to use it with caution and at your own responsibility. Like any software, there may be unforeseen bugs or issues that could affect your application. It is advisable to thoroughly review the package's functionality and integrate it into your projects with careful consideration of potential risks. (This package was developed using nodejs 16)

Installation

To install easy-psql, you can use npm:

npm install easy-psql

Establishing Connection with PostgreSQL Database

const { DB } = require("easy-psql");

DB.registerConnectionConfig({
  user: "postgres",
  database: "postgres",
  schema: "public",
  password: "postgres",
  port: 5432,
  host: "localhost",
});

Defining Models and Relations for PostgreSQL Database

const { Model, Column } = require("easy-psql");

class Role extends Model {
  constructor(connection) {
    super("roles", connection);
  }

  columns = {
    id: new Column({
      name: "id",
      type: "uuid",
      primary: true,
      defaultValue: "gen_random_uuid()",
    }),
    name: new Column({
      name: "name",
      type: "text",
      nullable: false,
    }),
  };
}

class User extends Model {
  constructor(connection) {
    super("users", connection);
  }

  columns = {
    id: new Column({
      name: "id",
      type: "uuid",
      primary: true,
      defaultValue: "gen_random_uuid()",
    }),
    role_id: new Column({
      name: "role_id",
      type: "uuid",
    }),
    email: new Column({
      name: "email",
      type: "text",
      unique: true,
    }),
    password: new Column({
      name: "password",
      type: "text",
      nullable: false,
    }),
    grid_order: new Column({
      name: "grid_order",
      type: "int",
      nullable: false,
      defaultValue: 1,
    }),
  };

  relations = {
    role: new Relation({
      from_table: "users",
      from_column: "role_id",
      to_table: "roles",
      to_column: "id",
      alias: "object", // object or array
    }),
  };
}

// Register the models in order to be able to use relations
DB.register(User);
DB.regitser(Role);

Basic examples

const model = new User();
const data = await model.find() // multiple rows
const data = await model.findOne() // single row
const data = await model.create({email:'[email protected]',password:'12345678'});
const data = await model.createMany([{email:'[email protected]',password:'12345678'},{email:'[email protected]',password:'12345678'}])
const data = await model.update({where:{...},update:{email:'[email protected]'}});
const data = await model.delete({where: {...}});
const {count,max} = await model.aggregate({_count:true,max:{email:true},where:{...}}) // _count,max,min,sum,avg

Use Relations

const model = new User();
const usersWithRoles = await model.find({ include: { role: true } });

Use Relations With Filters

const model = new User();
const usersWithRoles = await model.find({ include: { role: {where:{...}} } });

Basic Filtering Example

const model = new User();
const data = await model.find({
  where: { email: { _eq: "[email protected]" } },
});

Basic Filtering Operators

const model = new User();
const data = await model.find({
  where: {
    password: { _in: ["12345678", "123456789"] },
    email: { _eq: "[email protected]" },
    _or: [{ password: { _is_not: null } }, { password: { _is: null } }],
    _and: [
      { grid_order: { _lte: 200 } },
      { grid_order: { _lt: 201 } },
      { grid_order: { _gte: 1 } },
      { grid_order: { _gt: 0 } },
      { password: { _nin: ["12345678", "123456789"] } },
      { email: { _ilike: "test" } },
      { email: { _neq: "[email protected]" } },
      {
        _or: [
          { password: { _is_not: null } },
          { password: { _is: null } },
          {
            _and: [
              { email: { _neq: "[email protected]" } },
              {
                _or: [
                  { password: { _is_not: null } },
                  { password: { _is: null } },
                ],
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
});

Basic Filtering Operators Are Applied to Relations too

const model = new User();
const data = await model.find({
  where: {
    password: { _eq_: "12345678" },
    email: { _eq: "[email protected]" },
    // this is the role related entity
    role: {
      name: { _eq: "admin" },
    },
  },
});

Other Operators

const model = new Role();
const data = await model.find({where:{...},distinct:[...],groupBy:[...],limit:100,offset:0,orderBy: {
    name: 'asc',
    users_aggregate:{
        _count:true
    }
}})

Using nested aggregations

const { Model, Column } = require("easy-psql");

class Role extends Model {
  constructor(connection) {
    super("roles", connection);
  }

  columns = {
    id: new Column({
      name: "id",
      type: "uuid",
      primary: true,
      defaultValue: "gen_random_uuid()",
    }),
    name: new Column({
      name: "name",
      type: "text",
      nullable: false,
    }),
  };

  relations = {
    role: new Relation({
      from_table: "roles",
      from_column: "id",
      to_table: "users",
      to_column: "role_id",
      alias: "array", // object or array
    }),
  };
}

class User extends Model {
  constructor(connection) {
    super("users", connection);
  }

  columns = {
    id: new Column({
      name: "id",
      type: "uuid",
      primary: true,
      defaultValue: "gen_random_uuid()",
    }),
    role_id: new Column({
      name: "role_id",
      type: "uuid",
    }),
    email: new Column({
      name: "email",
      type: "text",
      unique: true,
    }),
    password: new Column({
      name: "password",
      type: "text",
      nullable: false,
    }),
    grid_order: new Column({
      name: "grid_order",
      type: "int",
      nullable: false,
      defaultValue: 1,
    }),
  };

  relations = {
    role: new Relation({
      from_table: "users",
      from_column: "role_id",
      to_table: "roles",
      to_column: "id",
      alias: "object", // object or array
    }),
  };
}

// Register the models in order to be able to use relations
DB.register(User);
DB.regitser(Role);

const model = new Role();
const role = await model.findOne({
  where: { name: { _eq: "admin" } },
  include: {
    users_aggregate: {
      // _count,max,min,avg,sum
      _count: true,
      max: { grid_order: true },
      min: { grid_order: true, email: true },
      // you can use where inside here
    },
  },
});

Using multiple nested relations

const model = new User();
const data = await model.find({
  include: {
    role: {
      include: {
        users: {
          include: {
            role: true, // .....
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

Transactions Example 1

const model = new User();

const result = await model.withTransaction(async (tx) => {
  const newUser = await model.create({
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "12345678",
    role_id: "...",
  });
  if (!newUser) {
    throw new Error("User not created");
  }

  return newUser;
});

// Errors inside withTransaction will use rollback; otherwise a commit is performed

// Check the result

if (result instanceof Error) {
  console.error(result);
} else {
  console.log(result);
}

Transactions Example 2

const model = new User();

const result = await model.withTransaction(async (tx) => {
  const newUser = await model.create({
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "12345678",
    role_id: "...",
  });
  if (!newUser) {
    throw new Error("User not created");
  }

  const roleModel = new Role(tx); // pass the tx -> connection to postgres otherwise this operation is not be atomic

  const roleData = await role.create({ name: "testRole" });
  if (!roleData) {
    throw new Error("Role not created");
  }
  return [newUser, roleData];
});

// Errors inside withTransaction will use rollback; otherwise a commit is performed

// Check the result

if (result instanceof Error) {
  console.error(result);
} else {
  console.log(result);
}

Transactions Example 3

const model = new Role();
const inputData = {
  name: "newRole",
  users: [
    { email: "[email protected]", password: "12345678" },
    { email: "[email protected]", password: "12345678" },
  ],
};

// Over here perform the createTX operation

const result = await model.createTX(inputData);

// or for multiple inserts use await model.createManyTX([inputData])   -> use an array of objects

// The roles.id generated from this query will be assigned to each users.role_id field

Register Effects

// The following events will be triggered only by using the model classes

// e.g : find and findOne  on model User -> will trigger onSelectAsync but DB.pool.query('select * from users'); will not!

DB.onSelectAsync("users", async (data, instance) => {
  // ...
});
DB.onInsertAsync("users", async (data, instance) => {
  // ...
});
DB.onUpdateAsync("users", async (data, instance) => {
  // ...
});
DB.onDeleteAsync("users", async (data, instance) => {
  // ...
});
DB.onErrorAsync("users", async (error, instance) => {
  // ...
});
