Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Sneakiest development trap: making easy easier...
And sometimes invest instead in learning a technology rather than hide it: for example slonik encourages you to write normal SQL queries by making SQL templating easier and safer. In turn, your IDE would be able to understand those queries and give you support based on the database schemas you actually have.
-
Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
I'd push you to consider using postgres, slonik or similar for database queries. With these libraries, you just write SQL, but they perform input sanitization for you. So you can safely write:
- Slonik: PostgreSQL client for Node.js with runtime validation
-
PostgresJs: The Fastest full featured PostgreSQL client for Node.js and Deno
You can already use postgres with Slonik.

It is not going to be the default because it is way slower.
https://github.com/gajus/slonik/actions/runs/6616647651
Test node_version:18 test_only:postgres-integration is taking 3 minutes.
Test node_version:18 test_only:pg-integration is taking 38 seconds.

Integrating Slonik with Express.js
For those uninitiated, Slonik is a battle-tested SQL query building and execution library for Node.js. Its primary goal is to allow you to write and compose SQL queries in a safe and convenient way. Now, let's see how it pairs with Express.js.
-
Which Postgres client are you using?
I am the maintainer of Slonik and I am trying to understand what portion of this sub-users are using Slonik vs other libraries, and if they are using anything else – what are their reasons for it.

JEP Draft: String Templates (Final)
It's nice that they implemented string templates essentially exactly the same way Javascript template literals and tag functions work. They even give an example of using it to create a prepared statement (e.g. DB."SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = \{inputParam}") which is exactly what many NodeJS libraries due, e.g. Slonik https://github.com/gajus/slonik, like sql`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = ${inputParam}`;
-
We use TypeScript not based on preference, but because we want to make money
I've found libraries like Zod useful when interacting with external data sources like a database. Slonik[1] uses Zod to define the types expected from a SQL query and then performs runtime validation on the data to ensure that the query is yielding the expected type.
I don't think it's necessary to use Zod/runtime validation everywhere, but it's a nice tool to have on hand.

Is ORM still an anti-pattern?
Demonstrate how easily and accidentally one can make an SQL injection with these:

The Epic Stack by Kent C. Dodds
Have you tried Slonik (https://github.com/gajus/slonik)? It won't generate types from queries automatically, but it encourages writing SQL vs. a query builder and allows type annotations of queries with Zod. Query results are validated at runtime to ensure the queries are typed correctly.

Type-Safe Printf() in TypeScript
There is an implementation of SQL that operates on a table shaped type, entirely at type level. For your amusement: https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql
There are a bunch of more practical takes that codegen types from your database and generate types for your queries, eg: https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped
To me the second approach seems much more pragmatic because you don’t need to run a SQL parser in a fairly potato interpreter on every build
-
ORMs are nice but they are the wrong abstraction
ORMs suck, but raw SQL embedded in your code sucks too.
This might be good time to plug my TypeScript non-ORM: https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/.
I should say I also like what I've seen of https://kysely.dev/ and https://pgtyped.dev/.

An effective way to build a heavy CRUD Rest API?
Thank you for suggestions they helped me finding what I was looking for. I will either pick kysely or https://pgtyped.dev/, but first I will do some tests. Thanks!

compile-time SQL validations and type generation in TypeScript & Node
Cool. How does this compare to SafeQL, PgTyped, and Postgres language server ?

Petrol: embedding a type-safe SQL API in OCaml using GADTs
I would instead rely on code generation like https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped, because the embedded type-safe SQL will never fully cover all the features of vanilla SQL, for example Common Table Expression (CTE), window functions etc.

Deno 1.33: Deno 2 is coming
There's pgtyped, which I believe does almost the same as sqlc

Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
For Postgres there is https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped, sounds pretty much like what you describe?
-
Is postgresql-typed a good starting library for a production application?
Avoiding the cost of learning EDSL that many Haskell DB libraries provide, I found out that only postgresql-typed and postgresql-simple allow to write only raw SQL queries easily. As I extensively use pgtyped for production Node.js application, I am thinking about using postgresql-typed. While I could find many resources for postgresql-simple, the same cannot be said try for postgresql-typed.

This package is so underrated.
I would highly recommend trying out pgTyped if you want typesafe queries with postgres. It's fantastic!
