Introduction

HarperDB is a SQL/NoSQL data management platform. It is fully indexed, doesn't duplicate data, and runs on any device- from the edge to the cloud.

It is built natively as a set of micro-services, making development and integration easy and seamless. HarperDB utilizes a single-endpoint for all operations. HarperDB’s RESTful nature makes it stateless, stable, and scalable.

Harperive is a node.js driver for HarperDb.

It is written in JavaScript, it natively supports promises and functions can be executed with callbacks. Each HarperDb operation is exposed as a function on the client object. All functions take query options and an optional callback function.

Harperive is available as an npm package.

# installs the package for your project

npm install harperive --save

Connection

You need to create a DB Client with following parameters passing the appropriate values and then you can perform any db operation.

DB_CONFIG

• harperHost - host name of the harperdb server, example: https://harper-test-dev.harperdbcloud.com
• username - username of your db user
• password - password of the user
• token (optional) - jwt authentication token, pass either username/password or token for authorised database operation.
• schema (optional) - schema name, if not passed while creating client then need to be passed while calling operations. (Passing schema lets you perform CRUD operations on that schema)

Example

const harperive = require('harperive');

const DB_CONFIG = {
  harperHost: process.env.DB_HOST,
  username: process.env.DB_USER,
  password: process.env.DB_PASS,
  token: process.env.OPERATION_TOKEN, // pass either username/password or token
  schema: process.env.SCHEMA, // optional params
  
  /* Alternatively schema can be passed in the options while quering for any operations on specific schema. 
  *  Refer bewlow on how to execute operation for more clarification.
  */
}

const Client = harperive.Client;
const client = new Client(DB_CONFIG);

// function call with callback
client.dbOperation(options, (err, res) => {
  if(err) console.log(err);
  else console.log(res);
});

// function call expecting promise
client.dbOperation(options)
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

// function call as async/await expecting promise
async function executeQuery() {
  try {
    const res = await client.dbOperation(options)
    console.log(res);
  } catch(err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

executeQuery();

Response Format

// success response (recieved in 2nd arg of the callback / resolved when called as promise)
{ 
  statusCode: 200,
  status: 'SUCCESS',
  operation: 'search_by_value',
  data: 
  [ 
    {
