Motivation

It is hard to create SQL statements programmatically:

• Concatenating strings is ugly and dangerous.
• Traditional SQL builders are not intuitive.
• ORMs are too indirect and have poor performance.

Usage

// INSERT INTO my_table (id, value)
// VALUES (1, 'hello'), (2, 'world');

const cond = true

const result1 = sql(
  INSERT_INTO('my_table', ['id', 'value'])
, VALUES(
    [integer(1), text('hello')],
    cond && [integer(2), text('world')]
  )
)

// or
const result2 = sql(
 'INSERT INTO my_table (id, value)'
, VALUES(
    [integer('1'), text('hello')]
  , cond && [integer('2'), text('world')]
  )
)

// or
const result3 = sql`
  INSERT INTO my_table (id, value)
  VALUES (1, 'hello')
  ${cond && `, (2, 'world')`};
`

// or
const result4 = `
  INSERT INTO my_table (id, value)
  ${VALUES(
    [integer('1'), text('hello')]
  , cond && [integer('2'), text('world')]
  )};
`

// or
const values = VALUES([integer('1'), text('hello')])
if (cond) {
  values.values.push([integer('2'), text('world')])
}

const result5 = `
  INSERT INTO my_table (id, value)
  ${values};
`

API

Examples

Named parameters

const collector = new ParameterCollector('$param')

query(
  sql`
    INSERT INTO table (value)
    VALUES (${collector.add(123)})

  `
  // INSERT INTO table (value)
  // VALUES ($param1)
  //      , ($param2)
, collector.toRecord()
  // {
  //   param1: 123
  // , param2: 456
  // }
)

Indexed parameters

What about SQL injection?

As long as you don't take user input as a parameter, there will be no SQL injection vulnerability.
