Drizzle works with OP-SQLite on React Native without Expo

Drizzle has very good documentation for using it with SQLite on React Native. But mainly for Expo users.

In the doc, Drizzle <> OP SQLite, it lists the steps to connect to OP-SQLite on React Native.

But one line in the provided config confused me.

import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';

export default {
	schema: './db/schema.ts',
	out: './drizzle',
  dialect: 'sqlite',
	driver: 'expo', // <--- very important
} satisfies Config;

The driver is expo. But I am not using Expo.

Anyway, I followed the doc and it works without Expo, even though the driver is expo.

Below is how the 2 parts work together.

import {drizzle} from 'drizzle-orm/op-sqlite';
import {open} from '@op-engineering/op-sqlite';
import * as schema from '@/services/db/schema';

// Open the database
const connection = open({
  name: 'dbname.db',
});

// Initialize Drizzle with the connection and schema
export const db = drizzle(connection, {schema});
