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

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

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

The resulting config contains a subset of the following properties:

  • host - Postgres server hostname or, for UNIX domain sockets, the socket filename
  • port - port on which to connect
  • user - User with which to authenticate to the server
  • password - Corresponding password
  • 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.

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
  • sslmode=<sslmode>
    • 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
  • 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.
