⚡ Quick Example

import {
  Transactional,
  runOnTransactionCommit,
  initializeDrizzleTransactionalContext,
  addTransactionalDrizzleDatabase,
} from "drizzle-transactional";
import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/node-postgres";
import { Pool } from "pg";

// Initialize the library
const pool = new Pool({
  connectionString: "postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/mydb",
});
const db = drizzle(pool);

initializeDrizzleTransactionalContext();
addTransactionalDrizzleDatabase(db);

class UserService {
  @Transactional()
  async createUser(name: string, email: string) {
    const user = await db.insert(users).values({ name, email }).returning();

    runOnTransactionCommit(() => {
