Connecting with Drizzle
Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript ORM for SQL databases designed with maximum type safety in mind. You can use their ORM to connect to your database.
Install
Install Drizzle and related dependencies.
npm i drizzle-orm postgres
npm i -D drizzle-kit
Create your models
Create a schema.ts file and define your models.
import { pgTable, serial, text, varchar } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";
export const users = pgTable('users', {
id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
fullName: text('full_name'),
phone: varchar('phone', { length: 256 }),
});
Connect
Connect to your database using the Connection Pooler.
From the project Connect panel, copy the URI from the "Shared Pooler" option and save it as the DATABASE_URL environment variable. Remember to replace the password placeholder with your actual database password.
In local SUPABASE_DB_URL require to be adapted to work with Docker resolver
import 'dotenv/config'
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js'
import postgres from 'postgres'
const databaseUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL
if (!databaseUrl) throw new Error('DATABASE_URL is not set')
let connectionString = databaseUrl
if (connectionString.includes('postgres:postgres@supabase_db_')) {
const url = new URL(connectionString)
url.hostname = url.hostname.split('_')[1]
connectionString = url.href
}
// Disable prefetch as it is not supported for "Transaction" pool mode
export const client = postgres(connectionString, { prepare: false })
export const db = drizzle(client)
