Drizzle과 PostgreSQL 시작하기

This guide assumes familiarity with:

Drizzle은 node-postgrespostgres.js 드라이버를 통한 PostgreSQL 연결을 기본적으로 지원합니다.

이 시작 가이드에서는 node-postgres를 사용합니다. PostgreSQL에 연결하는 다양한 방법을 확인하려면 PostgreSQL 연결 페이지를 참조하세요.

Basic file structure

This is the basic file structure of the project. In the src/db directory, we have table definition in schema.ts. In drizzle folder there are sql migration file and snapshots.

📦 <project root>
 ├ 📂 drizzle
 ├ 📂 src
 │   ├ 📂 db
 │   │  └ 📜 schema.ts
 │   └ 📜 index.ts
 ├ 📜 .env
 ├ 📜 drizzle.config.ts
 ├ 📜 package.json
 └ 📜 tsconfig.json

Step 1 - node-postgres 패키지 설치

npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npm i drizzle-orm pg dotenv
npm i -D drizzle-kit tsx @types/pg

Step 2 - 연결 변수 설정

Create a .env file in the root of your project and add your database connection variable:

DATABASE_URL=

아직 PostgreSQL 데이터베이스가 없고 테스트용으로 생성하고 싶다면, Docker에서 PostgreSQL을 설정하는 가이드를 참조하세요.

Docker에서 PostgreSQL 설정 가이드는 여기에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 가이드를 따라 설정하고 데이터베이스 URL을 생성한 후(가이드에 설명되어 있음) 다음 단계로 돌아오세요.

Step 3 - 데이터베이스에 Drizzle ORM 연결

Create a index.ts file in the src directory and initialize the connection:

node-postgres
node-postgres with config
your node-postgres driver
import 'dotenv/config';
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres';

const db = drizzle(process.env.DATABASE_URL!);

Step 4 - 테이블 생성

Create a schema.ts file in the src/db directory and declare your table:

src/db/schema.ts
import { integer, pgTable, varchar } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";

export const usersTable = pgTable("users", {
  id: integer().primaryKey().generatedAlwaysAsIdentity(),
  name: varchar({ length: 255 }).notNull(),
  age: integer().notNull(),
  email: varchar({ length: 255 }).notNull().unique(),
});

Step 5 - Drizzle 설정 파일 설정

Drizzle config - a configuration file that is used by Drizzle Kit and contains all the information about your database connection, migration folder and schema files.

Create a drizzle.config.ts file in the root of your project and add the following content:

drizzle.config.ts
import 'dotenv/config';
import { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default defineConfig({
  out: './drizzle',
  schema: './src/db/schema.ts',
  dialect: 'postgresql',
  dbCredentials: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
});

Step 6 - 데이터베이스에 변경사항 적용

You can directly apply changes to your database using the drizzle-kit push command. This is a convenient method for quickly testing new schema designs or modifications in a local development environment, allowing for rapid iterations without the need to manage migration files:

npx drizzle-kit push

Read more about the push command in documentation.

Tips

Alternatively, you can generate migrations using the drizzle-kit generate command and then apply them using the drizzle-kit migrate command:

Generate migrations:

npx drizzle-kit generate

Apply migrations:

npx drizzle-kit migrate

Read more about migration process in documentation.

Step 7 - 데이터베이스 시딩 및 쿼리

Let’s update the src/index.ts file with queries to create, read, update, and delete users

src/index.ts
import 'dotenv/config';
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres';
import { eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
import { usersTable } from './db/schema';
  
const db = drizzle(process.env.DATABASE_URL!);

async function main() {
  const user: typeof usersTable.$inferInsert = {
    name: 'John',
    age: 30,
    email: 'john@example.com',
  };

  await db.insert(usersTable).values(user);
  console.log('New user created!')

  const users = await db.select().from(usersTable);
  console.log('Getting all users from the database: ', users)
  /*
  const users: {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    age: number;
    email: string;
  }[]
  */

  await db
    .update(usersTable)
    .set({
      age: 31,
    })
    .where(eq(usersTable.email, user.email));
  console.log('User info updated!')

  await db.delete(usersTable).where(eq(usersTable.email, user.email));
  console.log('User deleted!')
}

main();

Step 8 - index.ts 파일 실행

To run any TypeScript files, you have several options, but let’s stick with one: using tsx

You’ve already installed tsx, so we can run our queries now

Run index.ts script

npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npx tsx src/index.ts
tips

We suggest using bun to run TypeScript files. With bun, such scripts can be executed without issues or additional settings, regardless of whether your project is configured with CommonJS (CJS), ECMAScript Modules (ESM), or any other module format. To run a script with bun, use the following command:

bun src/index.ts

If you don’t have bun installed, check the Bun installation docs
