Connect Nodejs to PostGres SQL
Mar 22, 2023
To connect to a PostgreSQL database using Node.js, you can use the pg
module, which is a PostgreSQL client for Node.js.
Here’s an example code snippet to connect to a PostgreSQL database using Node.js:
const { Client } = require('pg');
const client = new Client({
user: 'your_database_user',
host: 'your_database_host',
database: 'your_database_name',
password: 'your_database_password',
port: your_database_port,
});
client.connect();
// Example query
client.query('SELECT NOW()', (err, res) => {
console.log(err ? err.stack : res.rows[0].now);
client.end();
});
In this example, you create a new Client
object and pass in the database credentials, then call the connect()
method to connect to the database. You can then use the query()
method to execute SQL queries on the database.
You can find more information and examples on how to use the pg
module in the official documentation: https://node-postgres.com/
