ectypes-postgres

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

An ectypes strategy for node-postgres, version 1.0.0 (latest). Provides a PGStrategy class that wraps node-postgres with ectypes schema validation. Minimal release history, no recent updates. Key differentiator: integrates ectypes data validation into PostgreSQL queries, but dependency on ectypes and node-postgres makes it niche. Requires ectypes as peer dependency.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

PGStrategy

✓ const { PGStrategy } = require('ectypes-postgres')

✗ import { PGStrategy } from 'ectypes-postgres'

Package is older and uses CommonJS; ESM import may fail in Node <14 or without transpilation

default

✓ const PGStrategy = require('ectypes-postgres').PGStrategy

✗ const PGStrategy = require('ectypes-postgres')

Package does not export default; must destructure or use .PGStrategy

Creates a PGStrategy instance with a PostgreSQL connection string for use with ectypes schema validation.

const { PGStrategy } = require('ectypes-postgres'); const connectionString = process.env.DBCONN ?? 'postgres://user:pass@localhost/mydb'; const strategy = new PGStrategy(connectionString); // The strategy can then be used with ectypes schema validation console.log('PGStrategy created');

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPGStrategy constructor requires a connectionString; if missing or undefined, will throw or fail silently

fix

Ensure process.env.DBCONN or a valid connection string is passed to the constructor

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedPackage last published in 2012; no updates for over a decade; may have unpatched vulnerabilities in dependencies

fix

Consider migrating to a maintained alternative like knex or node-postgres with manual validation

affects: 1.0.0

gotchaectypes is a peer dependency and must be manually installed; running tests requires 'npm install ectypes'

fix

Run 'npm install ectypes' alongside ectypes-postgres

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'ectypes'

ectypes is a peer dependency not automatically installed

fix

Run 'npm install ectypes' to install peer dependency

TypeError: PGStrategy is not a constructor

Incorrect import; probably using default import instead of named import

fix

Use const { PGStrategy } = require('ectypes-postgres') or const PGStrategy = require('ectypes-postgres').PGStrategy
