Sequelize

Register the type

const { Sequelize } = require('sequelize-typescript');
const pgvector = require('pgvector-ts/sequelize');

pgvector.registerType(Sequelize);

Add a vector field

Item.init({
  embedding: {
    type: DataTypes.VECTOR(3)
  }
}, ...);

Insert a vector

await Item.create({embedding: [1, 2, 3]});

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

const items = await Item.findAll({
  order: [sequelize.literal(`embedding <-> '[1, 2, 3]'`)],
  limit: 5
});

node-postgres

Register the type

const pgvector = require('pgvector-ts/pg');

await pgvector.registerType(client);

Insert a vector

const embedding = [1, 2, 3];
await client.query('INSERT INTO items (embedding) VALUES ($1)', [pgvector.toSql(embedding)]);

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

const result = await client.query('SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY embedding <-> $1 LIMIT 5', [pgvector.toSql(embedding)]);

pg-promise

Register the type

const pgvector = require('pgvector/pg');

const initOptions = {
  async connect(client, dc, useCount) {
    await pgvector.registerType(client);
  }
};
const pgp = require('pg-promise')(initOptions);

Insert a vector

const embedding = [1, 2, 3];
await db.none('INSERT INTO items (embedding) VALUES ($1)', [pgvector.toSql(embedding)]);

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

const result = await db.any('SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY embedding <-> $1 LIMIT 5', [pgvector.toSql(embedding)]);
