Usage Examples

Cloudflare D1

import { D1QB } from 'workers-qb'

export interface Env {
  DB: D1Database
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<Response> {
    const qb = new D1QB(env.DB)

    type Employee = {
      name: string
      role: string
      level: number
    }

    // Using object syntax
    const employeeList = await qb
      .fetchAll<Employee>({
        tableName: 'employees',
        where: {
          conditions: 'active = ?1',
          params: [true],
        },
      })
      .execute()

    // Using method chaining
    const employeeListModular = await qb
      .select<Employee>('employees')
      .where('active = ?', true)
      .execute()

    return Response.json({
      activeEmployees: employeeList.results?.length || 0,
    })
  },
}

Cloudflare Durable Objects

import { DOQB } from 'workers-qb'

export class DOSRS extends DurableObject {
  getEmployees() {
    const qb = new DOQB(this.ctx.storage.sql)
    
    return qb
      .fetchAll({
        tableName: 'employees',
      })
      .execute()
      .results
  }
}

PostgreSQL Integration

First, install the required PostgreSQL client:

npm install pg --save

Enable Node compatibility in wrangler.toml:

node_compat = true

Example usage:

import { PGQB } from 'workers-qb'
import { Client } from 'pg'

export interface Env {
  DB_URL: string
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<Response> {
    const qb = new PGQB(new Client(env.DB_URL))
    await qb.connect()

    const fetched = await qb
      .fetchOne({
        tableName: 'employees',
        fields: 'count(*) as count',
        where: {
          conditions: 'active = ?1',
          params: [true],
        },
      })
      .execute()

    // Important: Close the connection
    ctx.waitUntil(qb.close())
    
    return Response.json({
      activeEmployees: fetched.results?.count || 0,
    })
  },
}
