Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Safe SQL Template Tag

Build Status Dependencies Status npm Coverage Status Install Size Known Vulnerabilities

Provides a string template tag that makes it easy to compose MySQL and PostgreSQL query strings from untrusted inputs by escaping dynamic values based on the context in which they appear.

Installation

$ npm install safesql

Supported Databases

MySQL via

const { mysql } = require('safesql');

PostgreSQL via

const { pg } = require('safesql');

Usage By Example

const { mysql, SqlId } = require('safesql');

const table = 'table';
const ids = [ 'x', 'y', 'z' ];
const str = 'foo\'"bar';

const query = mysql`SELECT * FROM \`${ table }\` WHERE id IN (${ ids }) AND s=${ str }`;

console.log(query);
// SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE id IN ('x', 'y', 'z') AND s='foo''"bar'

mysql functions as a template tag.

Commas separate elements of arrays in the output.

mysql treats a ${...} between backticks (\`) as a SQL identifier.

A ${...} outside any quotes will be escaped and wrapped in appropriate quotes if necessary.


PostgreSQL differs from MySQL in important ways. Use pg for Postgres.

const { pg, SqlId } = require('safesql');

const table = 'table';
const ids = [ 'x', 'y', 'z' ];
const str = 'foo\'"bar';

const query = pg`SELECT * FROM "${ table }" WHERE id IN (${ ids }) AND s=${ str }`;

console.log(query);
// SELECT * FROM "table" WHERE id IN ('x', 'y', 'z') AND s=e'foo''\"bar'

You can pass in an object to relate columns to values as in a SET clause above.

The output of mysql`...` has type SqlFragment so the NOW() function call is not re-escaped when used in ${data}.

const { mysql } = require('safesql');

const column  = 'users';
const userId  = 1;
const data    = {
  email:    '[email protected]',
  modified: mysql`NOW()`
};
const query = mysql`UPDATE \`${column}\` SET ${data} WHERE \`id\` = ${userId}`;

console.log(query);
// UPDATE `users` SET `email` = '[email protected]', `modified` = NOW() WHERE `id` = 1

mysql returns a SqlFragment

Since mysql returns a SqlFragment you can chain uses:

const { mysql } = require('safesql');

const data = { a: 1 };
const whereClause = mysql`WHERE ${data}`;
console.log(mysql`SELECT * FROM TABLE ${whereClause}`);
// SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE `a` = 1

No excess quotes

An interpolation in a quoted string will not insert excess quotes:

const { mysql } = require('safesql')

console.log(mysql`SELECT '${ 'foo' }' `)
// SELECT 'foo'
console.log(mysql`SELECT ${ 'foo' } `)
// SELECT 'foo'

Escaped backticks delimit SQL identifiers

Backticks end a template tag, so you need to escape backticks.

const { mysql } = require('safesql')

console.log(mysql`SELECT \`${ 'id' }\` FROM \`TABLE\``)
// SELECT `id` FROM `TABLE`

Escape Sequences are Raw

Other escape sequences are raw.

const { mysql } = require('safesql')

console.log(mysql`SELECT "\n"`)
// SELECT "\n"

API

Assuming

const { mysql, pg, SqlFragment, SqlId } = require('safesql')

mysql(options)

pgsql(options)

When called with an options bundle instead of as a template tag, mysql and pg return a template tag that uses those options.

The options object can contain any of { stringifyObjects, timeZone, forbidQualified } which have the same meaning as when used with sqlstring.

const timeZone = 'GMT'
const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2000, 0, 1))

console.log(mysql({ timeZone })`SELECT ${date}`)
// SELECT '2000-01-01 00:00:00.000'

mysql`...`

When used as a template tag, chooses an appropriate escaping convention for each ${...} based on the context in which it appears.

mysql handles ${...} inside quoted strings as if the template matched the following grammar:

pg`...`

When used as a template tag, chooses an appropriate escaping convention for each ${...} based on the context in which it appears.

pg handles ${...} inside quoted strings as if the template matched the following grammar:

SqlFragment

SqlFragment is a Mintable class that represents fragments of SQL that are safe to send to a database.

See minting for example on how to create instances, and why this is a tad more involved than just using new.

SqlId

SqlId is a Mintable class that represents a SQL identifier.

See minting for example on how to create instances, and why this is a tad more involved than just using new.

A SqlId's content must be the raw text of a SQL identifier and creators should not rely on case folding by the database client.
