How to insert an object into postgreSQL db using knex.raw() method?












0














I am looking for a way to insert an object into postgreSQL db using knex.raw() method.



Here is my try, it works, but I don't know if it is a best way.



  const newLink = {
url: 'http://github.com',
name: 'GitHub',
description: 'GitHub is awesome',
rel: '',
last_update: new Date()
};
const columns = Object.keys(newLink);
const values = Object.values(newLink);
console.log('columns: ', columns);
console.log('values: ', values);
const sql = `
INSERT INTO link (${columns.map(col => col).join(',')})
VALUES (${values.map(() => '?').join(',')})
`;
console.log('sql: ', sql);
try {
const insertObjResp = await knex.raw(sql, values);
console.log('insertObjResp: ', insertObjResp);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}


knex give me debug information like this:



{ method: 'raw',
sql: 'n INSERT INTO link (url,name,description,rel,last_update)n VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)n ',
bindings:
[ 'http://github.com',
'GitHub',
'GitHub is awesome',
'',
2018-11-20T04:47:21.085Z ],
options: {},
__knexQueryUid: '304fb5e5-9864-4ec6-9a63-1051e8e3c9ad' }


Is there an knex.js official way to do this work? thanks.

          Official way is to use knex.insert().



          Your code seems correct and there is no better way. Arrays of values and knex.raw is a bit inconvenient to use. Of course you should wrap that monster inside a helper function at least.

          • In that case it makes not much sense to use knex and re-implement all query building routines by yourself that knex has already implemented. It will be more powerful to use the db driver directly without knex in your case.
