SQLite Wasm

SQLite Wasm conveniently wrapped as an ES Module.

Warning

This project wraps the code of SQLite Wasm with no changes, apart from added TypeScript types. Please do not file issues or feature requests regarding the underlying SQLite Wasm code here. Instead, please follow the SQLite bug filing instructions. Filing TypeScript type related issues and feature requests is fine.

Installation

npm install @sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm

Usage

There are three ways to use SQLite Wasm:

• in the main thread with a wrapped worker (🏆 preferred option)
• in a worker
• in the main thread

Only the worker versions allow you to use the origin private file system (OPFS) storage back-end.

In a wrapped worker (with OPFS if available):

Warning

For this to work, you need to set the following headers on your server:

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp

import{sqlite3Worker1Promiser}from'@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm';constlog=(...args)=>console.log(...args);consterror=(...args)=>console.error(...args);(async()=>{try{log('Loading and initializing SQLite3 module...');constpromiser=awaitnewPromise((resolve)=>{const_promiser=sqlite3Worker1Promiser({onready: ()=>{resolve(_promiser);},});});log('Done initializing. Running demo...');letresponse;response=awaitpromiser('config-get',{});log('Running SQLite3 version',response.result.version.libVersion);response=awaitpromiser('open',{filename: 'file:mydb.sqlite3?vfs=opfs',});const{ dbId }=response;log('OPFS is available, created persisted database at',response.result.filename.replace(/^file:(.*?)\?vfs=opfs$/,'$1'),);// Your SQLite code here.}catch(err){if(!(errinstanceofError)){err=newError(err.result.message);}error(err.name,err.message);}})();

The promiser object above implements the Worker1 API.

In a worker (with OPFS if available):

Warning

For this to work, you need to set the following headers on your server:

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin

// In `main.js`.constworker=newWorker('worker.js',{type: 'module'});

// In `worker.js`.importsqlite3InitModulefrom'@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm';constlog=(...args)=>console.log(...args);consterror=(...args)=>console.error(...args);conststart=function(sqlite3){log('Running SQLite3 version',sqlite3.version.libVersion);letdb;if('opfs'insqlite3){db=newsqlite3.oo1.OpfsDb('/mydb.sqlite3');log('OPFS is available, created persisted database at',db.filename);}else{db=newsqlite3.oo1.DB('/mydb.sqlite3','ct');log('OPFS is not available, created transient database',db.filename);}// Your SQLite code here.};log('Loading and initializing SQLite3 module...');sqlite3InitModule({print: log,printErr: error,}).then((sqlite3)=>{log('Done initializing. Running demo...');try{start(sqlite3);}catch(err){error(err.name,err.message);}});

The db object above implements the Object Oriented API #1.

In the main thread (without OPFS):

importsqlite3InitModulefrom'@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm';constlog=(...args)=>console.log(...args);consterror=(...args)=>console.error(...args);conststart=function(sqlite3){log('Running SQLite3 version',sqlite3.version.libVersion);constdb=newsqlite3.oo1.DB('/mydb.sqlite3','ct');// Your SQLite code here.};log('Loading and initializing SQLite3 module...');sqlite3InitModule({print: log,printErr: error,}).then((sqlite3)=>{try{log('Done initializing. Running demo...');start(sqlite3);}catch(err){error(err.name,err.message);}});

The db object above implements the Object Oriented API #1.

Usage with vite

If you are using vite, you need to add the following config option in vite.config.js:

import{defineConfig}from'vite';exportdefaultdefineConfig({server: {headers: {'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy': 'same-origin','Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy': 'require-corp',},},optimizeDeps: {exclude: ['@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm'],},});

Check out a sample project that shows this in action.

Demo

See the demo folder for examples of how to use this in the main thread and in a worker. (Note that the worker variant requires special HTTP headers, so it can't be hosted on GitHub Pages.) An example that shows how to use this with vite is available on StackBlitz.

See the list of npm dependents for this package.

Deploying a new version

(These steps can only be executed by maintainers.)

1. Update the version number in package.json reflecting the current SQLite version number and add a build identifier suffix like -build1. The complete version number should read something like 3.41.2-build1.
2. Run npm run build to build the ES Module. This downloads the latest SQLite Wasm binary and builds the ES Module.
3. Run npm run deploy to commit the changes, push to GitHub, and publish the new version to npm.
