My journey to upgrade pgsql-parser to TypeScript led to an exciting discovery in the pganalyze/libpg_query repository: protobuf files defining PostgreSQL's AST. This discovery inspired me to create a proto-to-TypeScript transpiler, streamlining the process of typing the pgsql-parser and unlocking other cool new features :)

The transpiler not only allowed me to add typing for pgsql-parser but also spawned a suite of TypeScript utilities that are invaluable for PostgreSQL development.

Explore the tools:

Additionally, we now have new utilities generated by the proto parser, make sure to checkout the @pgsql/utils! That has some cool features in it:

@pgsql/enums: https://github.com/launchql/pgsql-parser/tree/main/packages/... @pgsql/types: https://github.com/launchql/pgsql-parser/tree/main/packages/... @pgsql/utils: https://github.com/launchql/pgsql-parser/tree/main/packages/...

Hope you enjoy! Please let me know anything you'd like to see!
