SQL Query & Schema Builder for Node.js
A straightforward api for SQL query & schema generation.
Overview
This npm package provides a versatile SQL query & schema builder for Node.js applications. It supports the creation of SQL queries for common operations like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and a schema builder api making it easy to create & interact with relational databases.
Built with Typescript, but can be used in pure JavaScript as well.
Installation
Install the package using npm:
npm install ts-sql-builder
Usage
Building Queries
Create a new instance of QueryBuilder
:
import { createQueryBuilder } from 'ts-sql-builder';
const qb = createQueryBuilder();
Build a SELECT query:
const selectQuery = qb.select('*').from('logs').limit(5).build().getSql();
SELECT * FROM "logs" logs LIMIT 5
Build an INSERT query:
const insertQuery = qb
.clear() // Clear the query builder for reuse (or create a new one)
.insertInto('items')
.columns('title', 'price', 'isActive')
.values(['headset', 359.99, true], ['camera', 1999, true])
.build()
.format({ tabWidth: 4 }) // Format the generated query if needed
.getSql();
INSERT INTO
items ("title", "price", "isActive")
VALUES
('headset', 359.99, true),
('camera', 1999, true)
Build an UPDATE query:
const updateQuery = createQueryBuilder()
.update('user')
.set({ employed: false, profession: 'student' })
.where('user.age <= 16')
.build()
.format()
.getSql();
UPDATE user
SET
"employed" = false,
"profession" = 'student'
WHERE
user.age <= 16
Perform a join operation:
const userWithPosts = createQueryBuilder()
.select('user.*')
.addSelect({ 'JSON_AGG(post.*)': 'posts' })
.from('user')
.innerJoin({
name: 'post',
condition: 'user.id = post."userId"',
})
.groupBy('user.id')
.build()
.format({ tabWidth: 4 })
.getSql();
SELECT
user.*,
JSON_AGG(post.*) AS posts
FROM
"user" user
INNER JOIN "post" post ON (user.id = post."userId")
GROUP BY
user.id
And more usage features like sub-queries, a handful of operations (IN, ALL, ANY, CONCAT, AND, OR), complex joins, sorting, you name it..
Schema Generation
Important note:
- For using schema builder api, you have to enable experimental support for decorators:
- using command line:
tsc --experimentalDecorators
- or using compiler options inside
tsconfig.json
:{ "compilerOptions": { "experimentalDecorators": true } }
- using command line:
Api usage:
import {
Column,
ForeignKey,
Index,
PrimaryKey,
Table,
buildSchema,
tableSchema,
} from 'ts-sql-builder';
@Table()
export class Address {
@PrimaryKey()
@Column({ type: 'SERIAL' })
id!: number;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR', unique: true })
rawAddress!: string;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR' })
city!: string;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR' })
street!: string;
@Column({ type: 'INTEGER' })
zip!: number;
}
@Index({ name: 'idx_user_email', columns: ['email'], unique: true })
@Index({ name: 'idx_user_username', columns: ['username'], unique: true })
@Table('users')
class User {
@PrimaryKey()
@Column({ type: 'SERIAL' })
id!: number;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR(255)', nullable: false })
name!: string;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR(65)', nullable: false, unique: true })
username!: string;
@Column({ type: 'INTEGER', check: 'age >= 18' })
age!: number;
@Column({ type: 'VARCHAR(255)', unique: true })
email!: string;
@Column({
name: 'created_at',
type: 'TIMESTAMP',
default: () => 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP',
})
createdAt!: Date;
@Column({ type: 'BOOLEAN', default: true })
activated!: boolean;
@ForeignKey({ reference: 'address(id)', onDelete: 'NO ACTION' })
@Column({ type: 'INTEGER' })
addressId!: number;
}
To generate schemas in strings:
const addressSchema = tableSchema(Address);
const userSchema = tableSchema(User);
console.log(addressSchema);
console.log(userSchema);
Generates:
CREATE TABLE address (
id SERIAL,
rawAddress VARCHAR UNIQUE,
city VARCHAR,
street VARCHAR,
zip INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
CREATE TABLE users (
id SERIAL,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
age INTEGER CHECK (age >= 18),
email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
activated BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
addressId INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (addressId) REFERENCES address (id) ON DELETE NO ACTION
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_user_username ON users (username);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_user_email ON users (email);
To generate each table schema in a separate file:
// simply call buildSchema and provide the base directory:
buildSchema({ dirname: './db/tables/' });
Generates these files:
./db
└── tables
├── address.schema.sql
└── users.schema.sql
To generate the whole database schema in a single file:
// call buildSchema with the path:
buildSchema({ path: './db/schema/db.sql' });
Generates a single file:
./db
└── schema
└── db.sql
