database-js
Wrapper for multiple databases with a JDBC-like connection
Database-js implements a common, promise-based interface for SQL database access. Inspired by Java, it uses connection strings to identify the database driver. Wrappers around native database drivers provide a unified interface to handle databases. Thus, you don't need to modify your code (except the connection string) to change your database! 😉
Database-js has built-in prepared statements, even if the underlying driver does not support them. It is built on Promises, so it works well with ES7 async code.

Usage
var Connection = require('database-js').Connection;
// 👉 Change the connection URL according to the database you need to connect
var conn =
new Connection("sqlite:///path/to/test.sqlite"); // SQLite
// new Connection("mysql://user:password@localhost/test"); // MySQL
// new Connection("postgres://user:password@localhost/test"); // PostgreSQL
// new Connection( < ANOTHER URL HERE > ); // see the drivers
var statement = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM states WHERE state = ?");
statement.query("South Dakota")
.then((results) => {
console.log(results); // Display the results
conn.close() // Close the database connection
.then(() => {
process.exit(0); // Success!
}).catch((reason) => {
console.log(reason); // Some problem when closing the connection
process.exit(1);
});
}).catch((reason) => {
console.log(reason); // Some problem while performing the query
conn.close() // Close the connection
.then(() => {
process.exit(0); // Success!
}).catch((reason) => {
console.log(reason); // Some problem when closing the connection
process.exit(1);
});
});
Async / await
Because database-js is built on Promises, it works very well with async/await. Compare the following code to the code from above. They accomplish the same thing.
var Connection = require('database-js').Connection;
(async function() {
let conn, statement, results;
try {
conn = new Connection("sqlite:///path/to/test.sqlite"); // Just change the connection URL for a different database
statement = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM states WHERE state = ?");
results = await statement.query("South Dakota");
console.log(results);
} catch (reason) {
console.log(reason);
} finally {
if (conn) {
await conn.close();
}
process.exit(0);
}
})();
