MySQL Elisa Driver

MySQL/MariaDB Elisa driver. This driver complies with Elisa 0.5 spec.

Proudly made with ♥ in Valencia, Spain, EU.

Driver load

The driver must be loaded importing the package and then you can use the Driver class to get the driver:

const Driver = require("elisa-mysql").Driver;
const driver = Driver.getDriver("MySQL");

You can also use the MariaDB alias, instead of the MySQL name.

Connections

The options to create a connection:

• host (string). The DB server name/IP.
• port (number). The DB server port.
• db (string). The database name.
• username (string). The username.
• password (string). The password.

Example:

var cx = driver.createConnection({host: "localhost", port: 3306, db: "mydb", username: "root", password: "pwd"});

Stores

The stores aren't supported by MySQL and MariaDB natively. These are implemented using tables with two text columns: id and value:

--without namespace
CREATE TABLE `bands`(id VARCHAR(256) PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT NOT NULL);

--with namespace
CREATE TABLE `my.bands`(id VARCHAR(256) PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT NOT NULL);

Collections

Right now, the collections are supported by MySQL natively, but MariaDB doesn't. The Elisa driver only supports the MariaDB collections using tables as:

--without namespace
CREATE TABLE `bands`(id VARCHAR(256) PRIMARY KEY, doc BLOB NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE `bands`(id int PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, doc BLOB NOT NULL);

--with namespace
CREATE TABLE `my.bands`(id VARCHAR(256) PRIMARY KEY, doc BLOB NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE `my.bands`(id int PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, doc BLOB NOT NULL);

Notes:

• The boolean values are saved as strings with $ starting the value: $true or $false. The driver converts $true to true and $false to false and vice versa.
• The array and object values are saved as strings using their JSON representation, starting with $. The driver does the transformation bidirectional.
