destroy
Disconnect a SQLocal client from the database and terminate its worker thread.
Usage
Access or destructure destroy
from the SQLocal
client.
import { SQLocal } from 'sqlocal';
const { destroy } = new SQLocal('database.sqlite3');
NOTE
If you are using the Kysely Query Builder or Drizzle ORM for type-safe queries, you will initialize the client with a child class of SQLocal
. See the corresponding setup page. Usage is the same otherwise.
The destroy
method takes no arguments. It will return a Promise
to close the connection to the SQLite database file and then terminate the Web Worker that the SQLocal
client uses internally to run queries.
It will also execute PRAGMA optimize
on the database before closing the connection.
Call destroy
if you want to clean up an SQLocal
instance because you are finished querying its associated database for the remainder of the session. Avoid calling destroy
after each query and then initializing a new SQLocal
instance for the next query.
await destroy();
WARNING
Once the destroy
method is called on an SQLocal
instance, any subsequent attempts to make queries through that instance will throw an error. You will need to initialize a new instance of SQLocal
to make new queries.
