pg-sql2

Create SQL in a powerful and flexible manner without opening yourself to SQL injection attacks using the power of ES6 tagged template literals.

A key aim of this library is to be very fast, if you think you can improve performance further please open a PR!

t sql = require("pg-sql2");
r import sql from 'pg-sql2';

t tableName = "user";
t fields = ["name", "age", "height"];

ql.join is used to join fragments with a common separator, NOT to join tables!
t sqlFields = sql.join(
 sql.identifier safely escapes arguments and joins them with dots
elds.map(fieldName => sql.identifier(tableName, fieldName)),
 "


ql.value will store the value and instead add a placeholder to the SQL
tatement, to ensure that no SQL injection can occur.
t sqlConditions = sql.query`created_at > NOW() - interval '3 years' and age > ${sql.value(



his could be a full query, but we're going to embed it in another query safely
t innerQuery = sql.query`select ${sqlFields} from ${sql.identifier(
bleName
here ${sqlConditions}`;

ymbols are automatically assigned unique identifiers
t sqlAlias = sql.identifier(Symbol());

t query = sql.query`
 ${sqlAlias} as (${innerQuery})
ct
elect json_agg(row_to_json(${sqlAlias})) from ${sqlAlias}) as all_data,
elect max(age) from ${sqlAlias}) as max_age


ql.compile compiles the query into an SQL statement and a list of values
t { text, values } = sql.compile(query);

ole.log(text);
>
 __local_0__ as (select "user"."name", "user"."age", "user"."height" from "user" where created_at > NOW() - interval '3 years' and age > $1)
ct
elect json_agg(row_to_json(__local_0__)) from __local_0__) as all_data,
elect max(age) from __local_0__) as max_age


ole.log(values); // [ 22 ]

hen to run the query using `pg` module, do something like:
onst { rows } = await pg.query(text, values);

API

sql.query`...`

Builds part of (or the whole of) an SQL query, safely interpretting the embedded expressions. If a non sql.* expression is passed in, e.g.:

query`select ${1}`;

then an error will be thrown.

sql.identifier(ident, ...)

Represents a safely escaped SQL identifier; if multiple arguments are passed then each will be escaped and then they will be joined with dots (e.g. "schema"."table"."column").

sql.value(val)

Represents an SQL value, will be replaced with a placeholder and the value collected up at compile time.

sql.literal(val)

As sql.value, but in the case of very simple values may write them directly to the SQL statement rather than using a placeholder. Should only be used with data that is not sensitive and is trusted (not user-provided data), e.g. for the key arguments to json_build_object(key, val, key, val, ...) which you have produced.

sql.join(arrayOfFragments, delimeter)

Joins an array of sql.query values using the delimeter (which is treated as a raw SQL string); e.g.

t arrayOfSqlFields = ["a", "b", "c", "d"].map(n => sql.identifier(n));
query`select ${sql.join(arrayOfSqlFields, ", ")}`; // -> select "a", "b", "c", "d"

t arrayOfSqlConditions = [
l.query`a = 1`,
l.query`b = 2`,
l.query`c = 3`

query`where (${sql.join(arrayOfSqlConditions, ") and (")})`; // -> where (a = 1) and (b = 2) and (c = 3)

t fragments = [
alias: "name", sqlFragment: sql.identifier("user", "name") },
alias: "age", sqlFragment: sql.identifier("user", "age") }

query`
on_build_object(
${sql.join(
  fragments.map(
    ({ sqlFragment, alias }) =>
      sql.query`${sql.literal(alias)}, ${sqlFragment}`
  ),
  ",\n"
)}
;

t arrayOfSqlInnerJoins = [
l.query`inner join bar on (bar.foo_id = foo.id)`,
l.query`inner join baz on (baz.bar_id = bar.id)`

query`select * from foo ${sql.join(arrayOfSqlInnerJoins, " ")}`;
elect * from foo inner join bar on (bar.foo_id = foo.id) inner join baz on (baz.bar_id = bar.id)

sql.compile(query)

Compiles the query into an SQL statement and a list of values, ready to be executed

t query = sql.query`...`;
t { text, values } = sql.compile(query);

onst { rows } = await pg.query(text, values);

History

This is a replacement for @calebmer's pg-sql, combining the additional work that was done to it in postgraphql and offering the following enhancements:

• Better development experience for people not using Flow/TypeScript (throws errors a lot earlier allowing you to catch issues at the source)
• Slightly more helpful error messages
• Uses a symbol-key on the query nodes to protect against an object accidentally being inserted verbatim and being treated as valid (because every Symbol is unique an attacker would need control of the code to get a reference to the Symbol in order to set it on an object (it cannot be serialised/deserialised via JSON or any other medium), and if the attacker has control of the code then you've already lost)
• Adds sql.literal which is similar to sql.value but when used with simple values can write the valid direct to the SQL statement. USE WITH CAUTION. The purpose for this is if you are using trusted values (e.g. for the keys to json_build_object(...)) then debugging your SQL becomes a lot easier because fewer placeholders are used.
