getDatabaseInfo

Retrieve information about the SQLite database file.

Usage

Access or destructure getDatabaseInfo from the SQLocal client.

import { SQLocal } from 'sqlocal';

const { getDatabaseInfo } = 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 getDatabaseInfo method takes no arguments. It will return a Promise for an object that contains information about the database file being used by the SQLocal instance.

const databaseInfo = await getDatabaseInfo();

The returned object contains the following properties:

• databasePath (string) - The name of the database file. This will be identical to the value passed to the SQLocal constructor at initialization.
• databaseSizeBytes (number) - An integer representing the current file size of the database in bytes.
• storageType ('memory' | 'opfs') - A string indicating whether the database is saved in the origin private file system or in memory. The database only falls back to being saved in memory if the OPFS cannot be used, such as when the browser does not support it.
• persisted (boolean) - This is true if the database is saved in the origin private file system and the application has used navigator.storage.persist() to instruct the browser not to automatically evict the site's storage.

If the SQLocal instance failed to initialize a database connection, these properties may be undefined.
