Database · Fewer

Databases are responsible for performing queries against the underlying data store. They use a generalized Adapter interface to allow a multitude of database engines to be used.

`createDatabase(config): Database`

Creates and returns a new database instance. Once the application is ready, you can connect to the database using the connect() method on the database instance.

Arguments

config.adapter (Adapter): An instance of an Adapter to use to query and connect to the database.

Fewer currently provides the following adapters:

MySQL
Postgres

Database Methods

`connect(): Promise`

Attempts to establish a connection to the underlying database via the provided adapter. It returns a promise that is resolved once the connection is established. If the adapter is unable to successfully connect to the database, then the promise will be rejected.

Example

import { createDatabase } from 'fewer';

const database = createDatabase({
  adapter: myAdapter,
});

// Start the connection to the database.
database.connect();
