This connector can also be used as a standalone component from node.js to connect to postgres' notification mechanism. To do this, install the connector via
npm install deepstream.io-storage-postgres
and instantiate it directly
const PostgresConnector = require( 'deepstream.io-storage-postgres' );
const settings = {
user: process.env.PG_USER,
database: process.env.PG_DB,
password: process.env.PG_PASSWORD,
host: process.env.PG_HOST,
port: parseInt( process.env.PG_PORT, 10 )
}
const connector = new PostgresConnector( settings )
connector.on( 'ready', ()=>{
connector.subscribe( event =>{
//event will be a map of event and table for CREATE_TABLE and DESTROY_TABLE
// { event: 'CREATE_TABLE', table: 'some-table' })
// or of event, table and key for INSERT, UPDATE AND DELETE, e.g.
// { event: 'INSERT', table: 'some-table', key: 'some-key' }
}, err => { if( err ) throw err; })
//subscriptions can be removed
connector.unsubscribe(( err )=>{ /* done */ })
// the connector also comes with a facility to get a map of all tables and the numbers of items within
connector.getSchemaOverview(( err, result ) => {
/* result will be e.g.
{
'some-table': 2,
'some-other-table': 1,
'new-table': 1,
'table-a': 2,
'table-b': 2
}

})
