This is a plugin to expose a shared PostgreSQL connection pool across the whole Hapi server and each request.

It helps developers to concentrate on query() operation, reducing the burden to control connect() and end() operations before and after each query().

• settings: Optional. Provide settings to the connection. If you not configure it, most of settings will be initialized from your environment variables in default, See all supported at https://node-postgres.com/apis/client#new-client and https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#new-pool.
• decorate: Optional. Rather have exposed objects accessible through server and request decorations. You cannot mix different types of decorations.
  • If true, server.pg or request.pg
  • If it's a string, server.<string> or request.<string>

Several objects are exposed by this plugin:

• client: The single client of postgresql, an instance of pg.Client
• pool: The connection of pool of postgresql, an instance of pg.Pool
• lib: node-postgre library
