pg-parse-float

Restore 'parseFloat' functionailty to node-postgres. Allowing it to return float column types as JavaScript floats.

install

npm install pg-parse-float

use

var pg = require('pg');
require('pg-parse-float')(pg);
 
//now all your floats (float4, float8, numeric) will come back out
//as floats in JavaScript

notes

This can be used as an example of how to extend or override the built in type parsers for other types as well.
