About Kysely
A type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript.
Kysely lets developers write SQL queries in TypeScript with full type safety, catching errors at compile time rather than runtime. It is aimed at TypeScript developers who want direct control over SQL without sacrificing type checking — sitting between raw SQL and a full ORM.
Where to start
Install Kysely along with the dialect package for your database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite), then define your database schema as TypeScript types to enable autocomplete and type checking across all queries.
