Regarding the code here: https://github.com/radify/collimator/blob/develop/src/util/fileQuery.js

see Query Files

Thanks Vitaly, looks like a very useful feature, and less code to maintain in this library itself. One of the goals for collimator is that it does not list pg-promise as a dependency itself, and instead accepts user-provided Database instance.

So, would it be possible for you to make the QueryFile API available on Database instances too?

[vitaly-t]

Within pg-promise, Database is one level below, whereas QueryFile is on the root level, and strictly speaking, they are not related.

In fact, there is so much on the root level, I don't know how you can get away from using it :)

One of the most important: pgp.as.format that formats queries. All the custom error types are also on the root level.

None of that is related to Database directly, so no, it is not possible.

I understand that - what I meant is that an alias on Database would be helpful.

I appreciate you wanting to avoid mixing tiers like that, so I'll have a think about making pg-promise a dependency on collimator in order to access the top-level QueryFile API that you've provided.

@warrenseymour this has changed in pg-promise v.4.4.7.

You now have hidden property $config in your db object, with all kinds of useful information that's not even fully available from the library's root, like the promise interface that's being used, for example.

To access type QueryFile you can do:

var QueryFile = db.$config.pgp.QueryFile;
