Asynchronous, non-blocking SQLite3 bindings for Node.js.
Binaries for most Node versions and platforms are provided by default via node-pre-gyp.
Also works with node-webkit and sqlcipher.
Note: the module must be installed before use.
var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();
var db = new sqlite3.Database(':memory:');
db.serialize(function() {
db.run("CREATE TABLE lorem (info TEXT)");
var stmt = db.prepare("INSERT INTO lorem VALUES (?)");
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
stmt.run("Ipsum " + i);
}
stmt.finalize();
db.each("SELECT rowid AS id, info FROM lorem", function(err, row) {
console.log(row.id + ": " + row.info);
});
});
db.close();
See the API documentation in the wiki.
You can use npm
to download and install:
The latest sqlite3
package: npm install sqlite3
GitHub's master
branch: npm install https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/tarball/master
In both cases the module is automatically built with npm's internal version of node-gyp
,
and thus your system must meet node-gyp's requirements.
It is also possible to make your own build of sqlite3
from its source instead of its npm package (see below).
It is possible to use the installed package in node-webkit instead of the vanilla Node.js. See Building for node-webkit for details.
Unless building via npm install
(which uses its own node-gyp
) you will need node-gyp
installed globally:
npm install node-gyp -g
The sqlite3 module depends only on libsqlite3. However, by default, an internal/bundled copy of sqlite will be built and statically linked, so an externally installed sqlite3 is not required.
If you wish to install against an external sqlite then you need to pass the --sqlite
argument to node-gyp
, npm install
or the configure
wrapper.
./configure --sqlite=/usr/local
make
Or, using the node-gyp directly:
node-gyp --sqlite=/usr/local
make
Or, using npm:
npm install --sqlite=/usr/local
If building against an external sqlite3 make sure to have the development headers available. Mac OS X ships with these by default. If you don't have them installed, install the -dev
package with your package manager, e.g. apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
for Debian/Ubuntu. Make sure that you have at least libsqlite3
>= 3.6.
Note, if building against homebrew-installed sqlite on OS X you can do:
./configure --sqlite=/usr/local/opt/sqlite/
make
Because of ABI differences, sqlite3
must be built in a custom to be used with node-webkit.
To build node-sqlite3 for node-webkit:
Install nw-gyp
globally: npm install nw-gyp -g
(unless already installed)
Build the module with the custom flags of --runtime
, --target_arch
, and --target
:
NODE_WEBKIT_VERSION="0.8.4" # see latest version at https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit#downloads
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --runtime=node-webkit --target_arch=ia32 --target=$(NODE_WEBKIT_VERSION)
This command internally calls out to node-pre-gyp
which itself calls out to nw-gyp
when the --runtime=node-webkit
option is passed.
You can also run this command from within a node-sqlite3
checkout:
npm install --build-from-source --runtime=node-webkit --target_arch=ia32 --target=$(NODE_WEBKIT_VERSION)
Remember the following:
You must provide the right --target_arch
flag. ia32
is needed to target 32bit node-webkit builds, while x64
will target 64bit node-webkit builds (if available for your platform).
After the sqlite3
package is built for node-webkit it cannot run in the vanilla Node.js (and vice versa).
npm test
of the node-webkit's package would fail.Visit the “Using Node modules” article in the node-webkit's wiki for more details.
To run node-sqlite3 against sqlcipher you need to compile from source by passing build options like:
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --sqlite_libname=sqlcipher --sqlite=/usr/
If your sqlcipher is installed in a custom location, say if you installed it with homebrew on OS X you also need to do:
export LDFLAGS="-L`brew --prefix`/opt/sqlcipher/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/`brew --prefix`opt/sqlcipher/include"
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --sqlite_libname=sqlcipher --sqlite=`brew --prefix`
mocha is required to run unit tests.
In sqlite3's directory (where its package.json
resides) run the following:
npm install mocha
npm test
