🐘 A Node package that spawns PostgresQL clusters programatically.
This package contains the windows-x64 Postgres binaries for use with the embedded-postgres
package. See
embedded-postgres for a more
developer-friendly way of spawning PostgresQL clusters.
Installation
embedded-postgres is available from NPM:
npm i embedded-postgres
Using just the binaries
If you just want to use the binaries, you can also just use this package
directly. It exports the paths to the
pg_ctl,
initdb and
postgres binaries
for windows-x64.
npm i @embedded-postgres/windows-x64
Follow the documentation to discover how to interface with the binaries. Any implementation is going to look something like this:
import { pg_ctl, initdb, postgres } from '@embedded-postgres/windows-x64'
import { execSync, spawn } from 'child_process';
execSync(initdb);
spawn(postgres);
[!IMPORTANT]
A more friendly wrapper for using these binaries is provided as the embedded-postgres package. Please use it if you're confused by the binaries.
