pg-connection-string
Advanced tools
Package description
The pg-connection-string package is a utility for parsing PostgreSQL connection strings. It can parse a connection string into an object with configuration details, which can then be used to establish a connection to a PostgreSQL database. This is particularly useful when working with environment variables or configuration files that store database connection information in a URI format.
Parsing connection string
This feature allows you to parse a PostgreSQL connection string into a configuration object. The object includes properties such as user, password, host, port, and database, which can be used to establish a connection to a PostgreSQL database.
const { parse } = require('pg-connection-string');
const config = parse('postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/database');
console.log(config);The connection-string package is a more generic parser for connection strings, not limited to PostgreSQL. It can parse various types of connection strings into a structured format. Compared to pg-connection-string, it offers a broader scope of functionality but might not have PostgreSQL-specific optimizations.
pg-parse-connection-string is another package that provides similar functionality to pg-connection-string, focusing specifically on parsing PostgreSQL connection strings. The main difference may lie in the implementation details or additional features provided by one package over the other.
