pg-connection-string

Functions for dealing with a PostgresSQL connection string

parse method taken from node-postgres Copyright (c) 2010-2014 Brian Carlson (brian.m.carlson@gmail.com) MIT License

Usage

const parse = require('pg-connection-string').parse;

const config = parse('postgres://someuser:somepassword@somehost:381/somedatabase')

The resulting config contains a subset of the following properties:

• user - User with which to authenticate to the server
• password - Corresponding password
• host - Postgres server hostname or, for UNIX domain sockets, the socket filename
• port - port on which to connect
• database - Database name within the server
• client_encoding - string encoding the client will use
• ssl, either a boolean or an object with properties
  • rejectUnauthorized
  • cert
  • key
  • ca
• any other query parameters (for example, application_name) are preserved intact.

ClientConfig Compatibility for TypeScript

The pg-connection-string ConnectionOptions interface is not compatible with the ClientConfig interface that pg.Client expects. To remedy this, use the parseIntoClientConfig function instead of parse:

import { ClientConfig } from 'pg';
import { parseIntoClientConfig } from 'pg-connection-string';

const config: ClientConfig = parseIntoClientConfig('postgres://someuser:somepassword@somehost:381/somedatabase')

You can also use toClientConfig to convert an existing ConnectionOptions interface into a ClientConfig interface:

import { ClientConfig } from 'pg';
import { parse, toClientConfig } from 'pg-connection-string';

const config = parse('postgres://someuser:somepassword@somehost:381/somedatabase')
const clientConfig: ClientConfig = toClientConfig(config)

Connection Strings

The short summary of acceptable URLs is:

• socket:<path>?<query> - UNIX domain socket
• postgres://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>?<query> - TCP connection

But see below for more details.

UNIX Domain Sockets

When user and password are not given, the socket path follows socket:, as in socket:/var/run/pgsql. This form can be shortened to just a path: /var/run/pgsql.

When user and password are given, they are included in the typical URL positions, with an empty host, as in socket://user:pass@/var/run/pgsql.

Query parameters follow a ? character, including the following special query parameters:

• db=<database> - sets the database name (urlencoded)
• encoding=<encoding> - sets the client_encoding property

TCP Connections

TCP connections to the Postgres server are indicated with pg: or postgres: schemes (in fact, any scheme but socket: is accepted). If username and password are included, they should be urlencoded. The database name, however, should not be urlencoded.

Query parameters follow a ? character, including the following special query parameters:

• host=<host> - sets host property, overriding the URL's host
• encoding=<encoding> - sets the client_encoding property
• ssl=1, ssl=true, ssl=0, ssl=false - sets ssl to true or false, accordingly
• uselibpqcompat=true - use libpq semantics
• sslmode=<sslmode> when uselibpqcompat=true is not set
  • sslmode=disable - sets ssl to false
  • sslmode=no-verify - sets ssl to { rejectUnauthorized: false }
  • sslmode=prefer, sslmode=require, sslmode=verify-ca, sslmode=verify-full - sets ssl to true
• sslmode=<sslmode> when uselibpqcompat=true
  • sslmode=disable - sets ssl to false
  • sslmode=prefer - sets ssl to { rejectUnauthorized: false }
  • sslmode=require - sets ssl to { rejectUnauthorized: false } unless sslrootcert is specified, in which case it behaves like verify-ca
  • sslmode=verify-ca - sets ssl to { checkServerIdentity: no-op } (verify CA, but not server identity). This verifies the presented certificate against the effective CA specified in sslrootcert.
  • sslmode=verify-full - sets ssl to {} (verify CA and server identity)
• sslcert=<filename> - reads data from the given file and includes the result as ssl.cert
• sslkey=<filename> - reads data from the given file and includes the result as ssl.key
• sslrootcert=<filename> - reads data from the given file and includes the result as ssl.ca

A bare relative URL, such as salesdata, will indicate a database name while leaving other properties empty.

Caution

Choosing an sslmode other than verify-full has serious security implications. Please read https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-ssl.html#LIBPQ-SSL-SSLMODE-STATEMENTS to understand the trade-offs.
