pg-listen is a Node.js library that simplifies listening to PostgreSQL notifications via the LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism. It enables real-time event handling by subscribing to PostgreSQL channels and reacting to database changes. pg-listen is ideal for applications needing real-time updates or inter-process communication.

Features

  • Connects to PostgreSQL channels using LISTEN/NOTIFY
  • Asynchronous event handling in Node.js
  • Automatic reconnection and error handling
  • Supports multiple listeners on different channels
  • Lightweight with zero external dependencies
  • Built-in logging and lifecycle management
