export PostgresTextEncoder

[schultek]

Can we do this please? I need to use the .convert() method directly in my project.

@schultek: Can you please shed some light on the use case?

[schultek]

Sure. I need to build a rather complex sql query as a string. The generation of the query string is distributed across multiple classes and methods up to a point, where it is simply not feasible anymore to use substitutionValues in the .query call at the very end. So I need a way to properly encode my values in the query.
Currently I have my own text encoding function, but I was realizing that I shouldn't need to do this since it already exists.

Wait I just was totally stupid. I just can directly do import 'package:postgres/src/text_codec.dart'; 🙄

[schultek]

Sorry for bothering you. 😅✌️

No worries, however, this may be still a good idea to export, although not as part of the postgres.dart library, maybe as another query_builder.dart or similar lib. Another thing to consider: this is a single-method class, which could be a top-level method instead.

So, if you are still interested, I'd happily consider it as part of a library as a top-level method (which internally could just create an instance and call convert on it).
