Hey HN! I'm the creator of pg-nano. It's not an ORM, a query builder, or a basic query driver, but it's closest to the last one. The twist is, it's also a migration tool and a code…

Hey HN, I wrote this little library a while back. This may be a bit of a niche thing, since there hasn't been much prior art tackling this problem. Before making json-qs, I was usi…

I think it'd be worth looking at what's already out there before you put a lot of effort into this, unless of course this is merely for fun/learning.

I used this initially in a browser extension I'm building. Ended up migrating to a JSX library instead, because jQuery turns into hard-to-reason-about code pretty quickly once you'…

I just published it now: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@json-qs/json-qs

The most common case is probably complex search queries. It's really nice not having to flatten your data just to get network level caching. In my case, building an RPC library wit…

The home feed is a poor experience, IMO. Adding a tagline to each product would help me know if I want to learn more, without having to decide to click based on a logo and name alo…

I'd love to get everyone's feedback on this library I made. I've found it helps a lot when writing a library that takes advantage of compile-time code generation. In the future, I …

That's not entirely true. Tree-shaking algorithms could have a “noDynamicAccess” option that errors on such use (only viable for applications, not libraries). Alternatively, the al…

TypeBox[1] also supports bi-directional transforms. [1]: https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox

TypeBox[1] differentiates between optional and undefined. [1]: https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox

It requires flow analysis, which is really hard to get right. I don't think there's a tree-shaking library that uses the TypeScript compiler API for static analysis purposes. Maybe…

I'd recommend TypeBox[1] as an alternative, which has a runtime “compiler” for generating optimized JS functions from the type objects. It also produces a JSON schema, which can be…

I'd love to hear more about your experience with web discoverability, as I'm making a product that aims to help with that. Email me at alec.stanford.larson @ gmail I don't know if …

That's not supported yet, but it will involve removing the foreign key constraint from one table (by parsing and rewriting the CREATE statement before running it). Then after the r…

I wouldn't compare the two directly, as they serve different preferences. I would say that using Postgres functions is more powerful, but that may not matter for your app, dependin…

You could use both side-by-side if you prefer query builders for certain tasks, but that means you'll be bundling two Postgres drivers in your application server, which could mean …

> Seems like this tool could essentially pre-create the types for any raw Postgres SQL statement? It's a syntax parser that produces an AST. So only information explicitly defined …

The main reason I didn't contribute my changes via PR is I wanted a package without "deparse" support, which adds considerably to the install size. I also didn't want pre-compiled …
