Transactions
Even though Mammoth does not include a database driver and thus is not responsible to manage transactions, transactions are a key construct in Postgres and it’s important to be able to use them. Luckily, it‘s fairly straightforward to add in your codebase when using Mammoth. The below shows a db instance (as previously constructed through the
defineDb
call) where everything is wrapped in a transaction.await wrapInTransaction((db) => {
// This db instance and everything in this scope
// should be inside a transaction. So the below
// insert statements are all inside a single
// transaction.
await db.insertInto(db.foo).values({ name: `Test` });
await db.insertInto(db.bar).values({ name: `Test` });
});
And the actual implementation to get this working is below.
const wrapInTransaction = (callback: (db: Db) => any) => {
const client = await pool.connect()
try {
await client.query('BEGIN');
const db = defineDb(tables, (query, parameters) => {
const result = client.query(query, parameters);
return {
affectedCount: result.rowCount,
rows: result.rows,
};
});
const result = await callback(db);
await client.query('COMMIT')
return result;
} catch (e) {
await client.query('ROLLBACK')
throw e
} finally {
client.release()
}
}
This is just a quick example to get you started. Of course you can also decide to expose a rollback function to be able to programmatically rollback the transaction without having to rely on exceptions.
