Description

This's a nest-pgpromise module for Nest. This quickstart guide will show you how to install and execute an example nestjs program..

This document assumes that you have a working nodejs setup in place.

Download from NPM

npm install --save nestjs-pgpromise

Initialize

You need five items in order to connect to the PostgreSQL server.

And you can use as well all the other parameters allowed by pg-promise package. See the documentation.

Provide the credentials for pg-promise module by importing it as :

As Connection object

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestPgpromiseClientController } from './nest-pgpromise-client.controller';
import { NestPgpromiseModule } from 'nestjs-pgpromise';

@Module({
  controllers: [NestPgpromiseClientController],
  imports: [
    NestPgpromiseModule.register({
      isGlobal: true,
      connection: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 5432,
        database: 'cmdbbtbi',
        user: 'cmadbbtbi',
        password: 'cghQZynG0whwtGki-ci2bpxV5Jw_5k6z',
      },
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

As Connection string

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestPgpromiseClientController } from './nest-pgpromise-client.controller';
import { NestPgpromiseModule } from 'nestjs-pgpromise';

@Module({
  controllers: [NestPgpromiseClientController],
  imports: [
    NestPgpromiseModule.register(
        isGlobal: true,
      {
      connection: "postgres://YourUserName:YourPassword@YourHost:5432/YourDatabase"
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Then you can use it in the controller or service by injecting it in the controller as:

constructor(@Inject(NEST_PGPROMISE_CONNECTION) private readonly pg: IDatabase<any>) {}

Quick Start Example

This example program connects to postgres on localhost and executes a simple select query from table tasks.

import { Controller, Get, Inject, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NEST_PGPROMISE_CONNECTION } from 'nestjs-pgpromise';
import { IDatabase } from 'pg-promise';

@Controller()
export class NestPgpromiseClientController {
  private logger = new Logger('controller');
  constructor(@Inject(NEST_PGPROMISE_CONNECTION) private readonly pg: IDatabase<any>) {}

  @Get()
  async index() {
    this.pg
      .any('SELECT * FROM task')
      .then(data => {
        // success;
        this.logger.log(data);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        // error;
        this.logger.log(error);
      });
  }
}

As pg-promise methods return promises, the new async/await syntaxis can be used.

import { Controller, Get, Inject, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NEST_PGPROMISE_CONNECTION } from 'nestjs-pgpromise';
import { IDatabase } from 'pg-promise';

@Controller()
export class NestPgpromiseClientController {
  private logger = new Logger('controller');
  constructor(@Inject(NEST_PGPROMISE_CONNECTION) private readonly pg: IDatabase<any>) {}

  @Get()
  async index() {
    try {
      const data = await this.pg.any('SELECT * FROM task');
      // success;
      this.logger.log(data);
    } catch(e) {
      // error;
      this.logger.log(error);
    }
  }
}

You can also pass in initoptions as supported by pg-promise.

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { NestPgpromiseClientController } from './nest-pgpromise-client.controller';
import { NestPgpromiseModule } from 'nestjs-pgpromise';

@Module({
  controllers: [NestPgpromiseClientController],
  imports: [
    NestPgpromiseModule.register(
      isGlobal: true,
      {
      connection: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 5432,
        database: 'cmdbbtbi',
        user: 'cmadbbtbi',
        password: 'cghQZynG0whwtGki-ci2bpxV5Jw_5k6z',
      },
      initOptions:{/* initialization options */};
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Note: You can then access the underlying PGP object through the $config property, for example:

  new this.pg.$config.pgp.helpers.ColumnSet(['col1', 'col2']);

You can find the details about them in the pg-promise documentation
