pogi

What is your dream?

pogi is a wrapper over pg.js to make life easier.

• it is not an over engineered ORM with new syntax to learn and with less functionality,
• it is not a simple prepared statements executor with a lot of boilerplate for queries

it is somewhere in between, around the golden middle ground.

##Some of the features:

• typescript support (async-await!) (also can generate the structure for the db)
• transaction support
• connection pooling
• sql file execution
• BYOL - bring your own logger :) (db/schema/table/query level)
• encourage mixing jsonb and relational columns (arrays, complex types, enums etc) to get the full power!
• named parameters for queries
• stream support

so all the basics that you would expect in 2016.

##Install

npm install pogi --save

##Some examples to get the taste

import {PgDb} from "pogi";

let pgdb = await PgDb.connect({connectionString: "postgres://"});

let table = pgdb['test']['users']; //or pgdb.test.users if you generate the interface

let c1 = await pgdb.query(`SELECT COUNT(*) as c FROM ${table} WHERE active=:active`, {active:true});
let c2 = await table.count({active:true});
c1[0].c == c2; //true

await table.insert({name:'simply', permissions:['p','e','r'], props:{email:'[email protected]'}});

let rows;

//use the same operators as in postgre
rows = await table.find({'i ~':'ke.*', 'a @>':{'d':{'r':'e'}}, 'm @>':['!']});

//will be transformed to "select * from test.users where id in (1,2,3)"
rows = await table.find({id:[1,2,3]});

//easy fallback 
rows = await table.where('"happyWife"="happyLife" and name=:name', {name:'me'});

//convenient functions
let power = await pgdb.queryOneField('SELECT MAX(power) FROM magical.dbhandlers');
power; //>9000

//much more!

##It's not without pitfalls What is? It's just usually not written (definitely not in the front page), but see more in the docs. I wish more project would be honest about it to save a lot of hours for others. If you find more, don't hesitate to tell us!
