description

I/O platform functions for the East language on Node.js. Use when writing East programs that need SQL databases (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL), NoSQL databases (Redis, MongoDB), S3 storage, file transfers (FTP, SFTP), file format parsing (XLSX, XML), or compression (Gzip, Zip, Tar). Triggers for: (1) Writing East programs with @elaraai/east-node-io, (2) Database operations with SQL.SQLite, SQL.Postgres, SQL.MySQL, NoSQL.Redis, NoSQL.MongoDB, (3) Cloud storage with Storage.S3, (4) File transfers with Transfer.FTP, Transfer.SFTP, (5) Format parsing with Format.XLSX, Format.XML, (6) Compression with Compression.Gzip, Compression.Zip, Compression.Tar.

East Node IO

I/O platform functions for the East language on Node.js. Enables East programs to interact with databases, cloud storage, file transfers, and data formats.

Quick Start

import { East, StringType, NullType } from "@elaraai/east";
import { SQL, Storage } from "@elaraai/east-node-io";

const queryDatabase = East.function([StringType], NullType, ($, userId) => {
    const config = $.let({
        host: "localhost",
        port: 5432n,
        database: "myapp",
        user: "postgres",
        password: "secret",
        ssl: East.variant('none', null),
        maxConnections: East.variant('none', null),
    });

    const conn = $.let(SQL.Postgres.connect(config));
    $(SQL.Postgres.query(conn, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", [East.variant("Integer", 42n)]));
    $(SQL.Postgres.close(conn));
});

// Compile with specific module Implementation
const compiled = East.compileAsync(queryDatabase.toIR(), SQL.Postgres.Implementation);
await compiled("user123");

Compiling East Programs

Use specific module implementations:

// Single module
const compiled = East.compileAsync(myFunction.toIR(), SQL.Postgres.Implementation);

// Multiple modules
const compiled = East.compileAsync(
    myFunction.toIR(),
    [...SQL.Postgres.Implementation, ...Storage.S3.Implementation]
);

Accessing Types

import { SQL, Storage, NoSQL, Format } from "@elaraai/east-node-io";

// Access types via Module.SubModule.Types.TypeName
const postgresConfig = SQL.Postgres.Types.Config;
const sqlResult = SQL.Postgres.Types.Result;
const s3Config = Storage.S3.Types.Config;
const redisConfig = NoSQL.Redis.Types.Config;
const xlsxSheet = Format.XLSX.Types.Sheet;

Connection Pattern

All connection-based modules follow the same pattern:

// 1. Create config
const config = $.let({ /* connection options */ });

// 2. Connect
const conn = $.let(Module.connect(config));

// 3. Perform operations
$(Module.operation(conn, ...args));

// 4. Close connection
$(Module.close(conn));
