Deno support - Uncaught Error: Could not locate the bindings file.

[quantuminformation]

Tried to use with deno

import { sqliteTable, text, integer } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core';
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/better-sqlite3';
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';

const users = sqliteTable('users', {
  id: integer('id').primaryKey(), // 'id' is the column name
  fullName: text('full_name'),
});

const sqlite = new Database('sqlite.db');
const db = drizzle(sqlite);

const allUsers = db.select().from(users).all();

backend git:(master) ✗ deno task dev

Even if deno would run npm packages, like bindings, correctly, I doubt that it can load native modules compiled for NodeJS.

I doubt that it can load native modules compiled for NodeJS.

Apparently it can denoland/deno#18444 denoland/deno#15717

But this is not a better-sqlite3 issue, it's on Deno to make it compatible if they want that.

It doesn't work win Bun 1.0 either. Same error here:

[neoxpert]

Which prebuilt binary did you download? Also note that Bun still does not support the full Node API which may lead to issues anyway support overview.

[quantuminformation]

We are moving to bun 1.0, it appears to work

It doesn't work win Bun 1.0 either.

bun has a native sqlite adapter. this project is cited as it’s inspiration

[CM-IV]

You can use .node (Node-API modules) in both Deno and Bun, but you cannot do bun build --compile or deno compile with them. So that just means not building or compiling your code and just running the .ts file in production.

I have tried this on both Deno and Bun with my napi-rs created npm library that exports typed functions from a .node file.

if i try to put the .node dynamic lib from:
https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/releases/download/v9.4.3/better-sqlite3-v9.4.3-node-v108-win32-x64.tar.gz
in:
\AppData\Local\deno\npm\registry.npmjs.org\bindings\1.5.0\lib\binding\node-v108-win32-x64\better_sqlite3.node
i get this error:
TypeError: LoadLibraryExW failed

Dependency walker on better_sqlite3.node shows an unresolved dependency "node.exe"
Could be related to not loading node-api at runtime in better_sqlite3.node?
something like said here: neon-bindings/neon#584
which will also avoid to have separate better_sqlite3.node binary releases for electron and node?

Or for some reason node-gyp win_delay_load_hook Is disabled?

I solved it by installing better-sqlite3 in Dockerfile instead of package.json & using pnpm's supportedArchitectures feature.
