@ttoss/postgresdb

This package uses Sequelize to provide a simple framework for working with PostgreSQL databases.

Installation

pnpm add @ttoss/postgresdb
pnpm add -D @ttoss/postgresdb-cli

ESM only

This package is ESM only. Make sure to use it in an ESM environment.

{
  "type": "module"
}

Usage

Setup the database

If you already have a database, you can skip this step. If you don't, you can use the following Docker command to create a new PostgreSQL database on port 5432 using Docker:

docker run --name postgres-test -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d -p 5432:5432 postgres

Create a model

Create a folder called models and add a new file called User.ts with the following content:

import { Table, Column, Model } from '@ttoss/postgresdb';

@Table
export class User extends Model<User> {
  @Column
  declare name: string;

  @Column
  declare email: string;
}

_This packages exports all decorators from [sequelize-typescript](https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize-typescript), so you can use them to define your models._

Export the model in the models/index.ts file:

export { User } from './User';

Create a new instance of the database

Create a new file called src/db.ts with the following content:

import { initialize } from '@ttoss/postgresdb';
import * as models from './models';

export const db = initialize({ models });

Environment variables

You can set the database connection parameters in two ways:

  1. Defining them in the src/db.ts file using the initialize function.

    export const db = initialize({
      database: '', // database name
      username: '', // database username
      password: '', // database password
      host: '', // database host
      port: 5432, // database port. Default: 5432
      models,
    });
  2. Using environment variables:

    • DB_NAME: database name
    • DB_USERNAME: database username
    • DB_PASSWORD: database password
    • DB_HOST: database host
    • DB_PORT: database port. Default: 5432

    @ttoss/postgresdb will use them automatically if they are defined.

Sync the database schema

To sync the database schema with the models, use the sync command:

pnpm dlx @ttoss/postgresdb-cli sync

By now, you should have a working database with a User table.

CRUD operations

You can now use the db object to interact with the database. Check the Sequelize documentation for more information.

import { db } from './db';

const user = await db.User.create({
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'johndoe@email.com',
});

All models are available in the db object.

Using in a monorepo

If you want to use in a monorepo by sharing the models between packages, you need to create some configurations to make it work.

On the postgresdb package

  1. Create your postgresdb package following the steps above.

  2. Exports your main file in the package.json file:

    {
      "type": "module",
      "exports": "./src/index.ts"
    }
  3. Create a new file called src/index.ts with the following content to exports the models you've created:

    export * as models from './models';

    We recommend to not export the db object in this file because you may want to use different configurations in different packages.

On the other packages

  1. Install @ttoss/postgresdb package:

    pnpm add @ttoss/postgresdb
  2. Add your postgresdb package as a dependency. In the case you're using PNPM, you can use the workspace protocol:

    {
      "dependencies": {
        "@yourproject/postgresdb": "workspace:^"
      }
    }
  3. Include the postgresdb package in the include field of the tsconfig.json file:

    {
      "include": ["src", "../postgresdb/src"]
    }

    This way, you can import the models using the @yourproject/postgresdb package.

  4. Create a new file called src/db.ts with the following content:

    import { initialize } from '@ttoss/postgresdb';
    import { models } from '@yourproject/postgresdb';
    
    export const db = initialize({
      models,
      // other configurations
    });
  5. Use the db object to interact with the database.

API

initialize(options: InitializeOptions): db

Initialize the database connection and load the models.

Options

All Sequelize options are available, expect models.

  • models: An object with all models to be loaded. The keys are the model names, and the values are the model classes. This way, you can access the models using the db object.

Sequelize decorators

This package exports all decorators from sequelize-typescript, i.e., @Table, @Column, @ForeignKey, etc.

Types

ModelColumns<T>

A type that represents the columns of a model.

import { Column, Model, type ModelColumns, Table } from '@ttoss/postgresdb';

@Table
class User extends Model<User> {
  @Column
  declare name?: string;

  @Column
  declare email: string;
}

/**
 * UserColumns = {
 *  name?: string;
 *  email: string;
 * }
 */
type UserColumns = ModelColumns<User>;
