Drizzle <> Turso

This guide assumes familiarity with:

Database connection basics with Drizzle
Turso Database - website
LibSQL driver - website & GitHub

According to the official website, Turso is a libSQL powered edge SQLite database as a service.

Drizzle ORM natively supports libSQL driver, we embrace SQL dialects and dialect specific drivers and syntax and 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 @libsql/client
npm i -D drizzle-kit

yarn add drizzle-orm @libsql/client
yarn add -D drizzle-kit

pnpm add drizzle-orm @libsql/client
pnpm add -D drizzle-kit

bun add drizzle-orm @libsql/client
bun add -D drizzle-kit

Step 2 - Initialize the driver

Drizzle has native support for all @libsql/client driver variations:


`@libsql/client`	defaults to `node` import, automatically changes to `web` if `target` or `platofrm` is set for bundler, e.g. `esbuild --platform=browser`
`@libsql/client/node`	`node` compatible module, supports `:memory:`, `file`, `wss`, `http` and `turso` conneciton protocols
`@libsql/client/web`	module for fullstack web frameworks like `next`, `nuxt`, `astro`, etc.
`@libsql/client/http`	module for `http` and `https` connection protocols
`@libsql/client/ws`	module for `ws` and `wss` conneciton protocols
`@libsql/client/sqlite3`	module for `:memory:` and `file` conneciton protocols
`@libsql/client-wasm`	Separate experimental package for WASM

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql';

  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

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

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql/web';

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql/http';

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql/ws';

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql/wasm';

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

If you need to provide your existing driver:

default

web

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql';
import { createClient } from '@libsql/client';

const client = createClient({ 
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN
});

const db = drizzle({ client });

const result = await db.select().from(users).all()

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql/web';
import { createClient } from '@libsql/client/web';

const client = createClient({ 
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN
});

const db = drizzle({ client });

const result = await db.select().from(users).all()

Step 3 - make a query

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/libsql';
import * as s from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core';

const db = drizzle({ connection: {
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, 
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN 
}});

const users = s.sqliteTable("users", {
  id: s.integer(),
  name: s.text(),
})

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