Waddler <> Gel

This guide assumes familiarity with:

Database connection basics with Waddler
gel-js basics

Waddler has native support for Gel connections with the gel-js client.

Step 1 - Install packages

npm

yarn

pnpm

bun

npm i waddler gel

yarn add waddler gel

pnpm add waddler gel

bun add waddler gel

Step 2 - Initialize the driver and make a query

gel

gel with config

// Make sure to install the 'gel' package 
import { waddler } from 'waddler/gel';

const sql = waddler(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
 
const result = await sql`select 1;`;

// Make sure to install the 'gel' package
import { waddler } from "waddler/gel";

// You can specify any property from the gel connection options
const sql = waddler({
  connection: {
    dsn: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
    tlsSecurity: "default",
  },
});

const result = await sql`select 1;`;

If you need to provide your existing driver:

// Make sure to install the 'gel' package 
import { waddler } from "waddler/gel";
import { createClient } from "gel";

const gelClient = createClient();
const sql = waddler({ client: gelClient });

const result = await sql`select 1;`;
