Convert to ES6 module

[ghost]

why using module.exports whne you can import/export?

[Minigugus]

Because Node.JS ESM support is still experimental and using import/export means adding a build step, which break the 0 dependencies principle 😉

Actually @Minigugus, if you look back before 1.0 release in the commits I had the source in import/export syntax, and then a small script to convert to commonjs, hehe.. The reason I removed it was because I didn't want to spend more time setting up dual packages (it didn't seem set in stone then), and I also liked being able to just instantly test stuff out..

I think the time is better now, so I'd be fine digging the conversion script back out, convert and also help us in the progress of making Postgres.js deno compatible 😉

Awesome 😄 Maybe this can help https://github.com/Minigugus/postgres-deno 😏 😉

Also, if you are ready for ES6 modules, what about full TypeScript conversion (still Deno compatible 😉)?

Nodejs 14 is LTS NOW, supports import/export and dual package loading. So, it’s time to migrate :)

Any updates?

[porsager]

@maxpain There's a PR now, you're welcome to try out npm install porsager/postgres#esm

I still need to test this for all supported node versions using both cjs and esm before I can merge..

Hello friends I really wish this library supports CommonJS of importing packages using require, many libraries I am using here mainly support that.

[porsager]

It does 😉

[elhananjair]

It does 😉

ow wow, therefore I can use

const postgres = require('postgres')

const sql = postgres({ /* options */ }) // will use psql environment variables
export default SQL

This is very nice, can you please add this as an example to the documentation?
Thanks

Sorry, I was just taking it as a given 😋 Make a PR with a comment in the very first code sample, I think that's good enoughOn 30 Jul 2024, at 14.46, Amanuel Elhanan ***@***.***> wrote: It does 😉 ow wow, therefore I can use const postgres = require('postgres') const sql = postgres({ /* options */ }) // will use psql environment variables export default SQL This is very nice, can you please add this as an example to the documentation?
