@libsql/kysely-libsql

kysely-libsql

A Kysely dialect for libSQL/sqld, using the Hrana protocol over a WebSocket.

Installation

npm install @libsql/kysely-libsql

Usage

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

import { Kysely } from "kysely";
import { LibsqlDialect } from "@libsql/kysely-libsql";

interface Database {
    ...
}

const db = new Kysely<Database>({
    dialect: new LibsqlDialect({
        url: "libsql://localhost:8080?tls=0",
        authToken: "<token>", // optional
    }),
});

Instead of a url, you can also pass an instance of Client from @libsql/hrana-client as client:

import * as hrana from "@libsql/hrana-client";
// Alternatively, the `kysely-libsql` package reexports the `hrana-client`
//import { hrana } from "@libsql/kysely-libsql";

const client = hrana.open("ws://localhost:2023");

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

// after you are done with the `db`, you must close the `client`:
client.close();

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.
