You can use the [Node.js SDK](https://github.com/firebolt-db/firebolt-node-sdk/) to work with Firebolt Core.

## Prerequisites

* Firebolt Node.js SDK version 1.14.3 or higher
* An endpoint running Firebolt Core

## Installation

```shell theme={null}
npm install firebolt-sdk@^1.14.3
```

## Connection

```javascript theme={null}
const { Firebolt, FireboltCore } = require('firebolt-sdk');

// Initialize the Firebolt client
const firebolt = Firebolt();

// Connect to Firebolt Core
const connection = await firebolt.connect({
  auth: FireboltCore(),
  engineEndpoint: 'http://localhost:3473',
  database: 'firebolt'
});

// Execute a query
const statement = await connection.execute('SELECT 1');
const { data, meta } = await statement.fetchResult();
```
