Connecting directly to Postgres

Supabase Edge Functions allow you to go beyond HTTP and can connect to your Postgres Database directly!

index.ts

import * as postgres from 'https://deno.land/x/postgres@v0.14.2/mod.ts'
import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.177.0/http/server.ts'
// Get the connection string from the environment variable "SUPABASE_DB_URL"
const databaseUrl = Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_DB_URL')!
// Create a database pool with three connections that are lazily established
const pool = new postgres.Pool(databaseUrl, 3, true)
serve(async (_req) => {
  try {
    // Grab a connection from the pool
    const connection = await pool.connect()
    try {
      // Run a query
      const result = await connection.queryObject`SELECT * FROM animals`
      const animals = result.rows // [{ id: 1, name: "Lion" }, ...]
      console.log(animals)
      // Encode the result as pretty printed JSON
      const body = JSON.stringify(
        animals,
        (key, value) => (typeof value === 'bigint' ? value.toString() : value),
        2
      )
      // Return the response with the correct content type header
      return new Response(body, {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        },
      })
    } finally {
      // Release the connection back into the pool
      connection.release()
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err)
    return new Response(String(err?.message ?? err), { status: 500 })
  }
})
