EdgeDB Deno driver

deno land Build Status Join GitHub discussions

edgedb-deno is the official EdgeDB driver for Deno. 🦕

This repo is automatically generated from the source of the edgedb-js driver. For documentation, issues, or details about the development of edgedb-deno, please refer to the edgedb-js repo.

Import

import * as edgedb from "https://deno.land/x/edgedb/mod.ts";

Following Deno convention it is recommended to always import a specific tagged version of edgedb-deno, and to not import from the underscored /_src path (all of edgedb-deno’s public API is exported from the /mod.ts file).

The main branch of this repo mirrors the latest commits to the master branch of edgedb-js, though it not recommended to import from this branch directly, as it may contain breaking changes.

Quick start

First install EdgeDB, then create and start an EdgeDB instance. The quickstart guide in the EdgeDB docs is a good place to get started: https://www.edgedb.com/docs/guides/quickstart

Now you’re ready to import edgedb-deno and start querying your database:

import * as edgedb from "https://deno.land/x/edgedb/mod.ts";

const client = edgedb.createClient();

console.log(await client.querySingle("SELECT 1 + <int64>$num", { num: 2 }));

await client.close();

For the full documentation see the edgedb-js docs.
