## What it is
An npm package that wraps the official SQLite WebAssembly (Wasm) build as a convenient ES Module with added TypeScript types. It enables running SQLite in the browser, including persistent storage via the Origin Private File System (OPFS) when used in a worker.

## Use cases
- run sqlite in the browser
- client-side persistent database with opfs
- use sqlite as an es module in javascript
- offline-first web app with local sql storage
- query data in a web worker with sqlite wasm
- in-memory sqlite database in node.js

## When to choose
- you need a full SQL database running entirely client-side in the browser
- you want persistent browser storage via OPFS backed by SQLite
- you want the official SQLite Wasm build with TypeScript types and easy ESM import

## When to avoid
- you need file-persisted SQLite in Node.js (only in-memory is supported there)
- you need server-side SQLite with native performance
- you cannot set COOP/COEP headers required for OPFS in a worker

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, database-driver, wasm
- domain: databases, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, wasm
- tags: sqlite, esm, opfs, webassembly, client-side-database, typescript-types, nodejs, javascript
