Drizzle <> Node SQLite

This guide assumes familiarity with:

Drizzle ORM natively supports node:sqlite module

We embrace SQL dialects and dialect specific drivers and syntax and unlike any other ORM, for synchronous drivers like node:sqlite we have both async and sync APIs and we mirror most popular SQLite-like all, get, values and run query methods syntax.

Step 1 - Install packages

npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npm i drizzle-orm
npm i -D drizzle-kit

Step 2 - Initialize the driver and make a query

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-sqlite';

const db = drizzle("sqlite.db");

const result = await db.select().from(...);

If you need to provide your existing driver:

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-sqlite';
import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite';

const sqlite = new DatabaseSync('sqlite.db');
const db = drizzle({ client: sqlite });

const result = await db.select().from(...);

If you want to use sync APIs:

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-sqlite';
import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite';

const sqlite = new Database('sqlite.db');
const db = drizzle({ client: sqlite });

const result = db.select().from(users).all();
const result = db.select().from(users).get();
const result = db.select().from(users).values();
const result = db.select().from(users).run();
