East Node IO

East Node IO

I/​O platform functions for the East language on Node.js. Enables East programs to interact with databases, cloud storage, file transfers, and data formats.

Quick Start

import { East, StringType, NullType } from "@elaraai/​east";
import { SQL, Storage } from "@elaraai/​east-node-io";

const queryDatabase = East.function([StringType], NullType, ($, userId) => {
    const config = $.let({
        host: "localhost",
        port: 5432n,
        database: "myapp",
        user: "postgres",
        password: "secret",
        ssl: East.variant('none', null),
        maxConnections: East.variant('none', null),
    });

    const conn = $.let(SQL.Postgres.connect(config));
    $(SQL.Postgres.query(conn, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", [East.variant("Integer", 42n)]));
    $(SQL.Postgres.close(conn));
});

// Compile with specific module Implementation
const compiled = East.compileAsync(queryDatabase.toIR(), SQL.Postgres.Implementation);
await compiled("user123");

Compiling East Programs

Use specific module implementations:

// Single module
const compiled = East.compileAsync(myFunction.toIR(), SQL.Postgres.Implementation);

// Multiple modules
const compiled = East.compileAsync(
    myFunction.toIR(),
    [...SQL.Postgres.Implementation, ...Storage.S3.Implementation]
);

Available Modules

Accessing Types

import { SQL, Storage, NoSQL, Format } from "@elaraai/​east-node-io";

// Access types via Module.SubModule.Types.TypeName
const postgresConfig = SQL.Postgres.Types.Config;
const sqlResult = SQL.Postgres.Types.Result;
const s3Config = Storage.S3.Types.Config;
const redisConfig = NoSQL.Redis.Types.Config;
const xlsxSheet = Format.XLSX.Types.Sheet;

Connection Pattern

All connection-based modules follow the same pattern:

// 1. Create config
const config = $.let({ /​* connection options */ });

// 2. Connect
const conn = $.let(Module.connect(config));

// 3. Perform operations
$(Module.operation(conn, ...args));

// 4. Close connection
$(Module.close(conn));
