Previously, if you attempted to pass an array of `Uint8Array` objects to
a prepared statement, it would render each literal numeric value of that
array.
Since `Uint8Array` (and `TypedArray` types) represent views over raw
bytes, ensure these are serialized to Postgres as a byte representation.
* Document client.escapeIdentifier and client.escapeLiteral
Per #1978 it seems that these client APIs are undocumented. Added documentation for these functions along with some examples and relevant links.
* Fix typos in new docs
* Migrate escapeIdentifier and escapeLiteral from Client to PG
These are standalone utility functions, they do not need a client instance to function.
Changes made:
- Refactored escapeIdentifer and escapeLiteral from client class to functions in utils
- Update PG to export escapeIdentifier and escapeLiteral
- Migrated tests for Client.escapeIdentifier and Client.escapeLiteral to tests for utils
- Updated documentation, added a "utilities" page where these helpers are discussed
**note** this is a breaking change. Users who used these functions (previously undocumented) on instances of Client, or via Client.prototype.
* Export escapeIdentifier and escapeLiteral from PG
These are standalone utility functions, they should not depend on a client instance.
Changes made:
- Refactored escapeIdentifer and escapeLiteral from client class to functions in utils
- Re-exported functions on client for backwards compatibility
- Update PG to export escapeIdentifier and escapeLiteral
- Updated tests to validate the newly exported functions from both entry points
- Updated documentation, added a "utilities" page where these helpers are discussed
* Ensure escape functions work via Client.prototype
Updated changes such that escapeIdentifier and escapeLiteral are usable via the client prototype
Updated tests to check for both entry points in client
Move from 3 loops (prepareValue, check for buffers, write param types, write param values) to a single loop. This speeds up the insert benchmark by around 100 queries per second. Performance improvement depends on number of parameters being bound.
