method

sqlite.DatabaseSync.loadExtension

path: string,

entryPoint?: string

): void;

Loads a shared library into the database connection. This method is a wrapper around sqlite3_load_extension(). It is required to enable the allowExtension option when constructing the DatabaseSync instance.

import { DatabaseSync } from 'node:sqlite';
const database = new DatabaseSync(':memory:', { allowExtension: true });

// Load using the entry point derived from the filename.
database.loadExtension('./decimal.dylib');

// Override the entry point when the derived name does not match.
database.loadExtension('./base64.dylib', 'sqlite3_base64_init');
@since v22.13.0
@param path The path to the shared library to load.
@param entryPoint The name of the extension's entry-point function. When
omitted, SQLite derives the entry point from the shared library's filename;
pass this argument explicitly when the derived name does not match.
