nan VS node-sqlite3

TypeScript has gained popularity in recent years, and to put things into perspective, it has over 29 million weekly downloads on npm. According to the Stack Overflow 2021 developer survey, it is ranked as the third most-loved programing language, beating Python, Node.js, and JavaScript itself. To learn how to set up TypeScript with node, see this article.

After sweating blood and tears I've finally managed to set up a Node C++ addon and shove a web-platform standard MediaStream object into one of its C++ methods for good. For compatibility across different V8 and Node.js versions, I'm using Native Abstractions for Node.js (nan):

Probably wrong import: https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3/issues/1532

A good example for showing a solution to those questions is the node-sqlite3 package. It's a native module written in C++ and made available as a Node package: https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3

sqlite3 appears to have this, but there may be some issues as to whether it works. https://github.com/TryGhost/node-sqlite3/issues/419

When I worked as an employee I contributed mostly just with docs fixes or bug reports (and not that often). I think it's mostly a mindset of seeing an issue yourself and noticing that others probably also are confused or misled by something so you go and report it!

Now that I'm working full-time on open-source and my own company I can contribute more easily to projects like upgrading SQLite source in a few bindings libraries [0], [1], [2] when 3.38 came out.

If anyone is interested in contributing to open-source and wants a bit more guidance though I have a number of good "first timer" projects related to data tools. Only expectation is that you have some experience with Go. Join discord.multiprocess.io, go to the #dev channel and say hi!

I have had no problems using SQLite itself in Electron, for a desktop project that runs under both Windows and Linux. See https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3

I like to set up a function in the main process with https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3 handling my queries.

Use SQLite to store the data and retrieve it using sqlite3

Hey I would like to use a nextcloud instance to host a sqlite database file, and connect directly to that file, with javascript/Electron and the sqlite3 library.

This sub is for discordjs, not just general javascript and npm issues. Ask sqlite3 package devs about this. https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3
