Connect to database

Currently, Cotton supports SQLite3, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. To create a connection, use cotton and pass the connection configurations.

import { connect } from "https://deno.land/x/cotton/mod.ts";

const db = await connect({
  type: "sqlite", // available type: 'mysql', 'postgres', and 'sqlite'
  database: "db.sqlite",
  // other...
});

You can run an SQL statement using the execute method.

await db.execute(`
  CREATE TABLE users (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    email VARCHAR(255),
  );
`);

Cotton provides an easy-to-use query builder which allows you to perform queries without writing raw SQL.

// Execute "SELECT * FROM users;"
const users = await db.table("users").execute();

for (const user in users) {
  console.log(user.email);
}

However, you can still use raw SQL via query method.

const users = await db.query("SELECT * FROM users;");

for (const user in users) {
  console.log(user.email);
}

Once, you’ve finished using the database, disconnect to prevent memory leaks.

await db.disconnect();

Query bulder

Basic query

await db
  .table("users")
  .where("email", "a@b.com")
  .where("name", "john")
  .execute();
// SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = 'a@b.com' AND name = 'john';

Select columns

await db.table("users").select("email").execute();
// SELECT (email) FROM users;

await db.table("users").select("id", "email").execute();
// SELECT (id, email) FROM users;

await db.table("users").select("id").select("email").execute();
// SELECT (id, email) FROM users;

Pagination

await db.table("users").limit(5).offset(5).execute(); // Skip 5 row and take 5
// SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 5 OFFSET 5;
