The NodeJS driver for EdgeDB

edgedb is the official EdgeDB driver for JavaScript and TypeScript.

The library requires NodeJS 10 or later.

Installation

npm install edgedb --save

or

yarn add edgedb --save

Quick Start

Follow the EdgeDB tutorial to get EdgeDB installed and minimally configured.

Next, create the package.json file:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
npm init

Next, install the "edgedb" library:

npm install edgedb --save

And here's a simple script to connect to an EdgeDB instance and run a simple query:

const edgedb = require("edgedb");

async function main() {
  const conn = await edgedb.connect({
    user: "edgedb",
    host: "127.0.0.1",
  });

  console.log(await conn.fetchOne("SELECT 1 + 1"));

  await conn.close();
}

main();

Development

A local installation of EdgeDB is required to run tests. Download EdgeDB from here or build it manually.

We use TypeScript, yarn, prettier, and tslint to develop edgedb-js. To run the test suite, run yarn test. To lint or format the code, run yarn lint / yarn format.
