Node - pg with native promises (pattern)

Use Promises with PostgreSQL in Node

This pattern is a pattern I use for all my Node projects that need PostgreSQL. I work a lot with Promises, and ended-up designing this db.js file.

Put this file wherever you want in your app directory. Edit the connectionInfo string and voilà!

Call the execute method passing a callback function. Your callback function will be called with a function as first parameter which will allow you to execute SQL queries retourning Promises. Execute as much queries as you want, but don't forget to return a Promise that must be resolved once all your queries are done. After that, the database connection will be properly closed automatically.
