kysely-libsql

A Kysely dialect for libsql, using the libsql-client-ts, that supports embedded replicas.

Installation

pnpm install @coji/kysely-libsql

Usage

Initializing

Pass a LibsqlDialect instance as the dialect when creating the Kysely object:

import { createClient } from '@libsql/client/web'
import { Kysely } from "kysely"
import { LibsqlDialect } from "@coji/kysely-libsql"

interface Database {
    ...
}

const client = createClient({
    url: 'libsql://[databaseName]-[organizationName].turso.io',
    authToken: "...",
})

const db = new Kysely<Database>({
    dialect: new LibsqlDialect({ client }),
})

Embedded Replicas

You can work with embedded replicas by passing your Turso Database URL to syncUrl:

import { createClient } from '@libsql/client/web'
import { Kysely } from 'kysely'
import { LibsqlDialect } from '@coji/kysely-libsql'

const client = createClient({
  url: 'file:path/to/db-file.db',
  syncUrl: 'libsql://[databaseName]-[organizationName].turso.io',
  authToken: '...',
})

[!WARNING] Embedded Replicas only works where you have access to the file system.

As described in the turso sdk documentation, options can be set when creating the libsql client to manually synchronize the local and remote databases, automatically synchronize them at regular intervals, and enable encryption of SQLite files.

Supported URLs

The library accepts the same URL schemas as @libsql/client except file::

• http:// and https:// connect to a libsql server over HTTP,
• ws:// and wss:// connect to the server over WebSockets,
• libsql:// connects to the server using the default protocol (which is now HTTP). libsql:// URLs use TLS by default, but you can use ?tls=0 to disable TLS (e.g. when you run your own instance of the server locally).

Connecting to a local SQLite file using file: URL is not supported; we suggest that you use the native Kysely dialect for SQLite.

[!Caution] At this time, there is a known bug where the transaction does not end if :memory: is specified.
