pg-native error

When I run my project where I do import pg from 'pg'; I got the following error:

Cannot find module 'pg-native'
Require stack:

Does anybody know how to fix it? I use the latest version of the node-postgres

I was able to work around this (using pools in my particular case) by using:

import Pool from 'pg-pool';

and installing the types using: npm i @types/pg-pool. Good enough for now, if not ideal.

I was able to work around this (using pools in my particular case) by using:

import Pool from 'pg-pool';

and installing the types using: npm i @types/pg-pool. Good enough for now, if not ideal. This worked for me as a guide. I was using thepg package & Pool, but getting pool.query is not a constructor error. I installed npm i @types/pg & that removed the error, allowing me to receive the request.

My imports are like so:

import pg from "pg";

const pool = new pg.Pool({
  user: "postgres",
  password: process.env.POSTGRES_PSWD,
  host: "localhost",
  database: "pern-todo-app",
  port: 5432,
});

export default pool;

Used it like so:

import pool from "../config/db.js";
...
export const createTodo = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const { description } = req.body;
    const newTodo = await pool.query(
      "INSERT INTO todo (description) VALUES($1) RETURNING *",
      [description]
    );
    res.status(201).json(newTodo.rows[0]);
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(409).json({ message: error.message });
  }
};
