pg-typesafe: Strongly Typed PostgreSQL Queries for TypeScript
By
n_e
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
pg-typesafe is a TypeScript library that generates strongly typed queries for PostgreSQL without runtime dependencies or additional verbosity. It creates TypeScript types from PostgreSQL queries, allowing developers to maintain type safety while keeping query syntax identical to standard pg queries. The tool generates type definition files that can be used to cast database pools, enabling proper type checking for database operations.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledpg-typesafe generates TypeScript types for PostgreSQL queries.
pg-typesafe does so with no runtime dependencies, and zero additional verbosity.
This query looks the same as a normal query with pg, but is fully typed.
This will generate the file src/defs.gen.ts that contains the pg-typesafe types.
This will allow pg-typesafe to find you queries, and also type them properly.
