Getting started

This tutorial assumes that the latest version of sqlc is installed and ready to use.

We'll generate TypeScript here, but other language plugins are available. You'll need Bun (or Node.js) installed if you want to build and run a program with the code sqlc generates, but sqlc itself has no dependencies.

We'll also rely on sqlc's managed databases, which require a sqlc Cloud project and auth token. You can get those from the sqlc Cloud dashboard. Managed databases are an optional feature that improves sqlc's query analysis in many cases, but you can turn it off simply by removing the cloud and database sections of your configuration.

Setting up

Create a new directory called sqlc-tutorial and open it up.

Initialize a new package.

$ bun init

sqlc looks for either a sqlc.(yaml|yml) or sqlc.json file in the current directory. In our new directory, create a file named sqlc.yaml with the following contents:

version: "2"
cloud:
  # Replace <PROJECT_ID> with your project ID from the sqlc Cloud dashboard
  project: "<PROJECT_ID>"
plugins:
- name: ts
  wasm:
    url: https://downloads.sqlc.dev/plugin/sqlc-gen-typescript_0.1.3.wasm
    sha256: 287df8f6cc06377d67ad5ba02c9e0f00c585509881434d15ea8bd9fc751a9368
sql:
  - engine: "postgresql"
    queries: "query.sql"
    schema: "schema.sql"
    database:
      managed: true
    codegen:
    - out: db
      plugin: ts
      options:
        runtime: node
        driver: pg

Replace <PROJECT_ID> with your project ID from the sqlc Cloud dashboard. It will look something like 01HA8SZH31HKYE9RR3N3N3TSJM.

And finally, set the SQLC_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable:

export SQLC_AUTH_TOKEN="<your sqlc auth token>"

Schema and queries

sqlc needs to know your database schema and queries in order to generate code. In the same directory, create a file named schema.sql with the following content:

CREATE TABLE authors (
  id   BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name text      NOT NULL,
  bio  text
);

Next, create a query.sql file with the following five queries:

-- name: GetAuthor :one
SELECT * FROM authors
WHERE id = $1 LIMIT 1;

-- name: ListAuthors :many
SELECT * FROM authors
ORDER BY name;

-- name: CreateAuthor :one
INSERT INTO authors (
  name, bio
) VALUES (
  $1, $2
)
RETURNING *;

-- name: UpdateAuthor :exec
UPDATE authors
  set name = $2,
  bio = $3
WHERE id = $1;

-- name: DeleteAuthor :exec
DELETE FROM authors
WHERE id = $1;

If you prefer, you can alter the UpdateAuthor query to return the updated record:

-- name: UpdateAuthor :one
UPDATE authors
  set name = $2,
  bio = $3
WHERE id = $1
RETURNING *;

Generating code

You are now ready to generate code. You shouldn't see any output when you run the generate subcommand, unless something goes wrong:

$ sqlc generate

You should now have a tutorial subdirectory with three files containing Go source code. These files comprise a Go package named tutorial:

├── package.json
├── query.sql
├── schema.sql
├── sqlc.yaml
└── db
    ├── query_sql.ts

Using generated code

You can use your newly-generated code package from any TypeScript program. Create a file named index.ts and add the following contents:

import { Pool } from "pg";

import {
  createAuthor,
  deleteAuthor,
  getAuthor,
  listAuthors,
} from "./db/query_sql";

async function main() {
  const client = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env["DATABASE_URL"] });
  await client.connect();

  // list all authors
  const authors = await listAuthors(client);
  console.log(authors);

  // create an author
  const author = await createAuthor(client, {
    name: "Anders Hejlsberg",
	bio: "Original author of Turbo Pascal and co-creator of TypeScript",
  });
  if (author === null) {
    throw new Error("author not created");
  }
  console.log(author);

  // get the author we just created
  const anders = await getAuthor(client, { id: author.id });
  if (anders === null) {
    throw new Error("anders not found");
  }
  console.log(anders);

  // delete the author
  await deleteAuthor(client, { id: anders.id });
}

(async () => {
  await main();
  process.exit()
})();

Before this code will run you'll need to install the pg package:

$ bun install pg

The program should compile without errors. To make that possible, sqlc generates readable, idiomatic TypeScript code that you otherwise would've had to write yourself. Take a look in db/query_sql.ts.

Of course for this program to run successfully you'll need to run after setting the DATABASE_URL environment variable. And your database must have the authors table as defined in schema.sql.

$ DATABASE_URL="$(sqlc createdb)" bun run index.ts

$ bun run index.ts

You should now have a working program using sqlc's generated TypeScript source code, and hopefully can see how you'd use sqlc in your own real-world applications.

Development

If you want to build and test sqlc-gen-typescript locally, follow these steps:

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc-gen-typescript.git
cd sqlc-gen-typescript
npm install

Make your desired changes to the codebase. The main source files are located in the src directory.
If you've made changes that require updating dependencies, run:
```
npm install
```

Build the WASM plugin:
Check the Makefile for details.

make out.js

# Ensure you have Javy installed and available in your PATH
make examples/plugin.wasm

To test your local build, create a test project with a sqlc.yaml file containing:

version: '2'
plugins:
- name: ts
  wasm:
    url: file://{path_to_your_local_wasm_file}
    sha256: {sha256_of_your_wasm_file}
sql:
- schema: "schema.sql"
  queries: "query.sql"
  engine: {your_database_engine}
  codegen:
  - out: db
    plugin: ts
    options:
      runtime: node
      driver: {your_database_driver}

Replace the placeholders with appropriate values for your setup.

Run sqlc in your test project to generate TypeScript code using your local plugin build:
```
sqlc generate
```

For more details on sqlc development, refer to the sqlc core development guide. This guide provides additional information on setting up and working with sqlc in general, which may be useful for contributors to this project.
