ES6 template strings help make your queries more legible when they become long.

'SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT gitterhandle FROM users WHERE gitterhandle = $1) THEN CAST (true AS BOOLEAN) ELSE CAST (false AS BOOLEAN) END'

`
SELECT 
  CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT gitterhandle FROM users WHERE gitterhandle = $1) 
    THEN CAST (true AS BOOLEAN) 
    ELSE CAST (false AS BOOLEAN) 
  END
`

Though remember not to be tempted to use template substitution instead of parameterised queries 😉
