Breaking change: the HTTP query template function can now only be called as a template function, not as a conventional function. This improves safety from accidental SQL-injection vulnerabilities. For example:
import { neon } from '@neondatabase/serverless';
const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
const id = 1;
// this is safe and convenient, as before
const result = await sql`SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ${id}`;
// this looks very similar and was previously allowed, but was open to SQL
// injection attacks because it uses ordinary string interpolation -- it's now
// both a TypeScript type error and a runtime error
const throws = await sql(`SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ${id}`);
To fill the gap left by this change, the template function has two new properties: a query()
function that allows manually parameterized queries, and an unsafe()
function that lets you interpolate trusted arbitrary string values. For example:
// this was previously allowed, and was safe, but is now also an error so as to
// prevent the vulnerability seen above
const throws = await sql('SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = $1', [id]);
// the `query()` function is the new way to manually specify placeholders and
// values (the same way it's done by `client.query()` and `pool.query()`)
const result = await sql.query('SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = $1', [id]);
// to interpolate strings like column or table names, **only** if you know
// they're safe, use the `unsafe()` function
const table = condition ? 'table1' : 'table2'; // known-safe string values
const result = await sql`SELECT * FROM ${sql.unsafe(table)} WHERE id = ${id}`;
// but in the above case, you might prefer to do this instead
const table = condition ? sql`table1` : sql`table2`;
const result = await sql`SELECT * FROM ${table} WHERE id = ${id}`;
In addition, HTTP template queries are now fully composable, including those with parameters. For example:
const name = 'Olivia';
const limit = 1;
const whereClause = sql`WHERE name = ${name}`;
const limitClause = sql`LIMIT ${limit}`;
// compilation to raw SQL now happens lazily, at query time, so that parameter
// placeholders can be numbered appropriately
const result = await sql`SELECT * FROM table ${whereClause} ${limitClause}`;
The minimum supported version of Node is now v19 (this avoids having to do dynamic crypto
imports, which can cause trouble with bundlers).
Lastly: the repository has been rearranged and refactored, .d.ts
files are now generated automatically, packages are published via npm version
, and comprehensive tests have been put in place. This should ease the way for future enhancements and contributions.
Fixes insert Buffer
/ArrayBuffer
values into BYTEA
fields when using HTTP fetch queries.
Fixes only passing authToken
in the sql
HTTP request and not in the neon
connection setup.
Fixes authToken
overriding in sql
HTTP request.
Expose types
property on public HTTPQueryOptions type
Fix CONFIG.MD
documentation.
Capture stack traces in NeonDbError
, if Error.captureStackTrace
is available.
Allow authentication through JWT
by adding a authToken
property to the neon
HTTP connection options.
Expose all error information fields on NeonDbError
objects thrown when using the http fetch transport.
JSR README updates only.
Pass username (and database name) through URL decoder, so all usernames can successfully authorize.
Deprecate fetchConnectionCache
option, which is now always enabled. For neon
http fetch queries, enable setting options on individual queries within a batch transaction
(but note that the types still do not allow this).
Revert single per-region domain for WebSockets. Fix treatment of -pooler connection hosts.
Use a single (per-region) domain name for all connections to Neon databases. Intended to help with connection caching in V8. Passes the endpoint ID inside connection options for WebSocket connections.
Export a full ESM build to index.mjs -- don't just wrap the CJS code -- since no wrapping method seems reliable across bundlers and platforms. It's now important to only require
or only import
the package: if you mix, you'll get two copies of the code that don't share configuration changes.
Fixed index.d.mts.
Altered ESM re-export technique (in index.mjs) to work around WebPack issues. Added a re-export of TypeScript types (as index.d.mts) to fix the 'Masquerading as CJS' warning from https://arethetypeswrong.github.io/.
WebSocket connection errors are now reported properly via client.on('error', err => { /* ... */ })
