npm-test-sqlite3-trunk

2.2.2 • Public • Published
This is a trunk version of sqlite3 working with Node 0.11.4+ (pre-0.12).

Use the sqlite3 package if you're uncomfortable living on the edge.

Thanks to @kkoopa for his work to incorporate @rvagg's NAN!

NAME

node-sqlite3 - Asynchronous, non-blocking SQLite3 bindings for Node.js 0.2-0.4 (versions 2.0.x), 0.6.13+, 0.8.x, and 0.10.x (versions 2.1.x).

(Can also run in node-webkit if it uses a supported version of Node's engine.)

USAGE

Note: the module must be installed before use.

var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();
var db = new sqlite3.Database(':memory:');
 
db.serialize(function() {
  db.run("CREATE TABLE lorem (info TEXT)");
 
  var stmt = db.prepare("INSERT INTO lorem VALUES (?)");
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      stmt.run("Ipsum " + i);
  }
  stmt.finalize();
 
  db.each("SELECT rowid AS id, info FROM lorem", function(err, row) {
      console.log(row.id + "" + row.info);
  });
});
 
db.close();

FEATURES

API

See the API documentation in the wiki.

INSTALLING

You can use npm to download and install:

  • The latest sqlite3 package: npm install sqlite3

  • GitHub's master branch: npm install https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/tarball/master

In both cases the module is automatically built with npm's internal version of node-gyp, and thus your system must meet node-gyp's requirements.

It is also possible to make your own build of sqlite3 from its source instead of its npm package (see below).

It is possible to use the installed package in node-webkit instead of the vanilla Node.js, but a rebuild is required before use (see the next section).

REBUILDING FOR NODE-WEBKIT

Because of ABI differences, only a rebuilt version of sqlite3 can be used in node-webkit.

After the sqlite3 module is installed (according to the previous section), do the following:

  1. Install nw-gyp globally: npm install nw-gyp -g (unless already installed)

  2. Use nw-gyp to rebuild the module:

NODE_WEBKIT_VERSION="0.8.4" # see latest version at https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit#downloads
nw-gyp rebuild --target=${NODE_WEBKIT_VERSION}

Remember the following:

  • In the nw-gyp rebuild command, specify the actual target version of your node-webkit. The command must be run in sqlite3's directory (where its package.json resides).

  • After the sqlite3 package is rebuilt for node-webkit it cannot run in the vanilla Node.js (and vice versa).

    • For example, npm test of the node-webkit's package would fail.
    • If you need sqlite3 package both for Node.js and node-webkit, then you should make two separate installations of sqlite3 (in different directories) and rebuild only one of them for node-webkit.

Visit the “Using Node modules” article in the node-webkit's wiki for more details.

BUILDING FROM THE SOURCE

Unless building via npm install (which uses its own node-gyp) you will need node-gyp installed globally:

npm install node-gyp -g

The sqlite3 module depends only on libsqlite3. However, by default, an internal/bundled copy of sqlite will be built and statically linked, so an externally installed sqlite3 is not required.

If you wish to install against an external sqlite then you need to pass the --sqlite argument to node-gyp, npm install or the configure wrapper.

./configure --sqlite=/usr/local
make

Or, using the node-gyp directly:

 node-gyp --sqlite=/usr/local
 make

Or, using npm:

 npm install --sqlite=/usr/local

If building against an external sqlite3 make sure to have the development headers available. Mac OS X ships with these by default. If you don't have them installed, install the -dev package with your package manager, e.g. apt-get install libsqlite3-dev for Debian/Ubuntu. Make sure that you have at least libsqlite3 >= 3.6.

Note, if building against homebrew-installed sqlite on OS X you can do:

./configure --sqlite=/usr/local/opt/sqlite/
make

TESTING

mocha is required to run unit tests.

In sqlite3's directory (where its package.json resides) run the following:

npm install mocha
npm test
