PostgreSQL + Meteor (forked from storeness/meteor-postgres)

Adds postgres support to Meteor via SQL.Collection, which is similar to Mongo.Collection and provides the same functionality namely livequery, pub/sub, latency compensation and client side cache.

Still I would not recommend using it in production yet as the ORM layer is open for SQL-injections. You can check out this SQL package blueprint for a possible more sophisticated SQL implementation that could support most popular SQL Databases, Models and Migrations.

Improvements

  • Proper support for IDs (including strings)
  • Cleaner code and API
  • Support of underscores in table and column names
  • Many bug fixes including
    • errors on creating existent tables (convenient for server startup)
    • postgres client event leak
    • alasql column bug
  • Working example

Installation

Run the following from your command line.

    meteor add endykaufman:meteor-postgres

or add this to your package.js

    api.use('endykaufman:meteor-postgres');

Usage

To get started you might want to take a look at the todo-example code. You can run the code by cloning this repo locally and start it by running MP_POSTGRES=postgres://{username}:{password}:{url}:{port}/{database_name} meteor inside the cloned directory.

Implementation

We use Node-Postgres on the server and AlaSQL on the client. Also thanks to Meteor-Postgres as this project is based on their initial work, but which gets not longer maintained.

Change on this fork

In the original version of the project was possible sql injection in the Fork is eliminated. Example of use : https://github.com/EndyKaufman/meteor-postgres/blob/master/simple-todo.js
