Node-less version

I know it’s not Kysely goal to be multi-platform aka universal, still, I believe it would be a very nice addition with relatively minimal effort. With the advent of local-first software, especially awesome SQLite, it would be nice to be able to use Kysely in browsers or React Native without hacks.

I’m opening an issue because this can be helpful for someone else. Maybe it should be mentioned in the readme.

webpack: (config) => {
  // Remove kysely server deps.
  config.resolve.fallback = {
    ...config.resolve.fallback,
    mysql2: false,
    pg: false,
    crypto: false,
    path: false,
    fs: false,
  };
  return config;
},

From the architectural point of view, I don’t see a reason why a typed string builder should depend on Node.js at all. The single-responsibility principle FTW.

Let’s go with the separate Migrator class anyway. It’s the best solution. The reason for the coupling is easily solvable otherwise.

I would love to get this working in the Deno runtime. I’ve tried this using their node compatibility mode and using esbuilder tools like https://www.skypack.dev/view/kysely but could not get it to work.

You are right. However, Kysely is not just a typed string builder.

I get this, but maybe to some that’s all they need. I would like to use Kysely for string building and plug the strings into a database client that Deno supports.

Would be amazing to maybe split the package in two? one for typed string building, another for the rest?
