What are you?

I am an overly simple library to make it a bit easier to build simple SQL statements for node-postgres (affectionaly known as pg). I generate the { text: '...', values: [] } objects that you typically pass to client.query(...).

It gets tedious matching up $1, $2 etc. and building the right kind of values array. My functions help you do this and get the place-holder numbers right, even for UPDATE/SET/WHERE and for WHERE IN clauses and Postgres ARRAY[] values which require a flattened array of arguments.

I have some tests written in Mocha. Of course I could use more!

No really. Overly simple. You probably want node-sql, which is under active development.

Like what?

SQL = require('bloom-sql'),
INSERT = SQL.INSERT,
SELECT = SQL.SELECT,
UPDATE = SQL.UPDATE,
DELETE = SQL.DELETE;

Selecting stuff:

LECT().FROM('foo').WHERE({ a: [1,2,3], b: 4 });
xt: 'SELECT * FROM foo WHERE a IN ($1, $2, $3) AND b = $4',
lues: [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] }

Deleting stuff:

LETE('foo').WHERE({ a: 1, b: 2 });
xt: 'DELETE FROM foo WHERE a = $1 AND b = $2',
lues: [ 1, 2 ] }

Inserting stuff:

SERT('foo').VALUES({ a: null, b: null, c: null });
xt: 'INSERT INTO foo(a, b, c) VALUES($1, $2, $3)',
lues: [ null, null, null ] }

Updating stuff:

DATE('foo').SET({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }).WHERE({ d: 4, e: 5 }).RETURNING('*');
xt: 'UPDATE foo SET a = $1, b = $2, c = $3 WHERE d = $4 AND e = $5 RETURNING *',
lues: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] }

This code does not talk to the database. Connect to pg as normal as pass one of the resulting query objects to the db to run it:

pg = require('pg'),
SELECT = require('bloom-sql').SELECT;

db = new pg.Client('YOUR_DB_URL');
onnect();

query = SELECT('*').FROM('users').WHERE({id:1}).LIMIT(1);
uery(query, function(err,results){
 ensure !err
 check results.rowCount === 1 
 do stuff with results.rows[0]
