Using `createConnection` with an object?

[joereynolds]

I can see that in the docs it states that you don't have to pass a URL into anyDB.createConnection but that this can actually be an object so long as it follows a certain interface.

I can't find the allowed keys anywhere, I found one place where it mentioned adapter as the key but if that's the case, how do I specify 'host', 'user', 'password' etc...?

Is there a concrete implementation we can see somewhere?

I'm using Typescript if that affects anything so could it be a case of the types not being up to date?

The supported keys are adapter-specific. So in Typescript you'd probably want something like:

type UrlString = string
type ConnectionConfig =
  | UrlString
  | { adapter: 'mysql', host?: string, ... }
  | { adapter: 'postgres', host?: string, ... }
  | // etc. etc.

You'd need to gather the different shapes from the documentation (if any...) of the individual adapters.
