Slonik setup

Required type parsers

If you are using no-orm, there is some additional setup you must provide in your Slonik client configuration.

import { requiredTypeParsers } from "@no-orm/slonik/type-parsers";
import {
  createPool,
  createTypeParserPreset,
} from "slonik";

const pool = await createPool("database url", {
  // Copied from: https://github.com/gajus/slonik?tab=readme-ov-file#result-parser-interceptor
  interceptors: [createResultParserInterceptor()],
  typeParsers: [...createTypeParserPreset(), ...requiredTypeParsers],
});

The requiredTypeParsers ensure that certain Postgres types are mapped to Typescript objects that no-orm expects. Some of these decisions are opinionated. Read more here.
