deno_sqlite

Fastest & correct JavaScript bindings to SQLite3 C API, using Deno FFI.

Example

import { Database } from "https://deno.land/x/sqlite3@0.6.0/mod.ts";

const db = new Database("test.db");

const [version] = db.prepare("select sqlite_version()").value<[string]>()!;
console.log(version);

db.close();

Usage

Since this library depends on the unstable FFI API, you must pass --allow-env, --allow-ffi and --unstable flags. Network and FS permissions are also needed on macOS and Linux to download and cache prebuilt library. It’s recommended to just use --allow-all/-A flag since FFI basically gives full access.

deno run -A --unstable <file>

Native Library

On Linux and macOS, it will download and cache a prebuilt shared library from GitHub releases. For which it will also need net and read/write permission.

On Winows, it will look for existing SQLite3 dynamic library on your path, which is sqlite3.dll. You might have to install SQLite3 library separately if it’s not already installed, since it is not bundled with this module.

If the library you want to use is not on path, then you can set the DENO_SQLITE_PATH environment variable, containing full path to the SQLite3 shared library.

Contributing

Code is formatted using deno fmt and linted using deno lint. Please make sure to run these commands before committing.

On Linux and macOS, you need to build sqlite3 from source. Make sure that you have the submodule (git submodule update --init --recursive).

mkdir -p build/
make

When running tests and benchmarks, you need to use the DENO_SQLITE_PATH env variable otherwise it won’t use to local compiled shared library.
