Pure Node.js implementation of PostgreSQL's createdb and dropdb tools.

Only supports connection options and database name at the moment.

npm install --save -g pgtools

createdbjs my_awesome_db --user=admin --password=admin

const{ createdb, dropdb }=require("pgtools");// This can also be a connection string// (in which case the database part is ignored and replaced with postgres)constconfig={user: "postgres",password: "some pass",port: 5432,host: "localhost",};awaitcreatedb(config,"test-db");awaitdropdb(config,"test-db");

createdb(config: string|pg.ConnectionConfig,dbname: string): Promise<pg.QueryResult<any>>;dropdb(config: string|pg.ConnectionConfig,dbname: string): Promise<pg.QueryResult<any>>;

See ./src/index.d.ts for types.

See pg documentation for ConnectionConfig format.

More usage examples in ./src/test.js.

pgtools installs two useful binaries:

• createdbjs: which emulates pgtools' createdb functionality.
• dropdbjs: which emulates pgtools' dropdb functionality.

We support all LTS versions from 10 and up. We try to keep up with the latest Node.js version.
