Hi @eager spear. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain information about initializing or connecting a PostgreSQL database with Drizzle ORM in Astro. The official Astro documentation covers using Astro DB (which is based on libSQL), as well as connecting to PostgreSQL databases using other tools like Prisma, Neon, and Supabase, but there are no instructions or examples for using Drizzle ORM specifically with PostgreSQL in Astro.
Astro DB itself uses Drizzle ORM internally for its own SQL interface, but this is for libSQL-compatible databases, not for direct PostgreSQL connections. If you are looking to use PostgreSQL with Astro, the documentation recommends using Prisma ORM, Neon, or Supabase as the integration methods, each with their own setup instructions:
If you need to use Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL in Astro, the knowledge sources do not provide guidance on this setup. You may need to consult the Drizzle ORM documentation or community resources for further information.

@solemn oar what does this do "PUBLIC_POKEAPI=https://pokeapi.co/api/v2 pnpm run dev"
solemn oarBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The command
PUBLIC_POKEAPI=<https://pokeapi.co/api/v2> pnpm run dev
sets the environment variable PUBLIC_POKEAPI to <https://pokeapi.co/api/v2> for the duration of the pnpm run dev process. This means that when you start the Astro development server with this command, your project will have access to the PUBLIC_POKEAPI variable, which can be used in your code (for example, to fetch data from the PokéAPI).
In Astro, environment variables prefixed with PUBLIC_ are available in both server-side and client-side code. You can access this variable in your code using import.meta.env.PUBLIC_POKEAPI Using the CLI.
This is a common way to provide API endpoints or other configuration values to your Astro app during development without hardcoding them in your source files.

@solemn oar so this won't be availble if I use pnpm run build instead?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
If you run
pnpm run build
without setting the PUBLIC_POKEAPI environment variable in the same way, then PUBLIC_POKEAPI will not be available during the build process. Environment variables set inline (like PUBLIC_POKEAPI=<https://pokeapi.co/api/v2> pnpm run dev) are only available to the process they are set for. If you want PUBLIC_POKEAPI to be available during both development and build, you need to set it each time, for example:
PUBLIC_POKEAPI=<https://pokeapi.co/api/v2> pnpm run build
Alternatively, you can define PUBLIC_POKEAPI in a .env file, which will be loaded automatically for both dev and build commands Setting environment variables.
So, to summarize:
- If you only set the variable for
pnpm run dev, it will not be available forpnpm run buildunless you set it again or use a.envfile.
