sql.isSQL(value)

Type guard function that checks whether a value is a valid SQL fragment. Useful for type checking and validation when building dynamic queries.

Syntax​

sql.isSQL(value: unknown): value is SQL

Parameters​

  • value - Any value to check

Return value​

Returns true if the value is a valid SQL fragment, false otherwise.

Example​

import sql from "pg-sql2";

// Valid SQL fragments
console.log(sql.isSQL(sql`SELECT * FROM users`)); // true
console.log(sql.isSQL(sql.value(123))); // true
console.log(sql.isSQL(sql.identifier("table"))); // true
console.log(sql.isSQL(sql.raw("ORDER BY id"))); // true

// Invalid values
console.log(sql.isSQL("plain string")); // false
console.log(sql.isSQL(123)); // false
console.log(sql.isSQL({})); // false
console.log(sql.isSQL(null)); // false

Notes​

This function only checks if the value is structurally a SQL fragment. It doesn't validate that the SQL is syntactically correct.
