mysql-no-query
A middleware tool to use mysql databases' tables as JavaScript objects without writing any queries
Installation
$ npm install mysql-no-query
Quick Example
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
// Including 'mysql-no-query' package.
var mysqlNoQuery = require('mysql-no-query')
// Connecting to database.
var db = new mysqlNoQuery();
db.connect({
host: 'localhost',
user: '<username>',
password: '<password>',
database: '<database>'
})
// Specify app port as you like.
app.listen(8888);
app.get('/api/comments', (req, res) => {
// This code line replaces 'SELECT * FROM comments' query, It gets all rows of 'comments' table.
db.schema.comments.get({}, (error, results, fields) => {
res.end(JSON.stringify(results))
})
})
Usage
schema.<table>
All tables in the database can be accessed like this database.schema.<table>
, names of the objects will be the same as the names of the tables in the database's schema.
So, if we want to access users
table, we access it in the code like this database.schema.users
schema.<table>.get(options, callback)
Retrieves data from <table>
depending on specific options and triggers a callback when it ends.
options
is required, if you don't need it set it to {}
options
Option | Type | Required | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
select |Array<string>
| No | list of columns that will be selected by the query. defaults to *
where |Object
or string
| No | adds custom WHERE
to SELECT
statement
sort |string
| No | adds custom SORT BY
to SELECT
statement
limit |string
| No | adds custom LIMIT
to SELECT
statement
offset |string
| No | adds custom OFFSET
to SELECT
statement
join |Array<Join>
or string
| No | adds JOIN
to SELECT
statement. Assign 'all'
to it instead of object to join all foreign keys of the table with its references
Example
/*
This will select first 3 comments' `text`s and their writer's `first_name`s of a post which has id = 5
Equivalent to
SELECT comments.text, writer.first_name FROM comments JOIN users AS writer ON writer.id = comments.user_id WHERE comments.post_id = 5 LIMIT 3;
*/
db.schema.comments.get({
select: ['text'],
where: {
post_id: 5
} // You also can use it like this: (where: 'post_id = 5')
limit: 3,
join: [{
with: 'users',
as: 'writer',
on: 'writer.id = comments.user_id',
select: ['first_name']
}]
}, (error, results, fields) => {
res.end(JSON.stringify(results))
})
schema.<table>.insert(row, callback)

schema.<table>.edit(options, callback)

is required
options
Option | Type | Required | Description

object with it
Prototypes

Prototype
property | Type | Required | Description

on |string
| Yes | Condition to which columns the join will be applied

. defaults to FULL OUTER
Row
Prototype
Each schema.<table>.row()
returns a different object depends on the table, but in general each one has a list of properties represents COLUMNS_NAME
s of the table and each property equals to the default value for its column in the database.
console.log(db.schema.comments.row())
/* Outputs
{ id: null,
user_id: null,
post_id: null,
text: null,
date_added: null,
update: [Function],
delete: [Function] }
*/
insert(callback)
Inserts this record in the database
// Creates a new row initialized with `text`, `user_id`, `post_id`.
var newRow = db.schema.comments.row({ text: 'Hello from Row.insert()', user_id: 29, post_id: 72 });
// Inserts the row in the database.
newRow.insert((error, results, fields) => {
console.log(results.insertId);
})
update(callback)
Updates this record in the database using the primary keys of the table
// Gets comment with id = 5.
db.schema.comments.get({ where: 'id = 5' }, (error, results, fields) => {
// Creates a Row object and initializing it with the data of the retrieved record
var record = db.schema.comments.row(results[0])
// Let's change its text
record.text = 'New Text!'
// this commits the record in the database
record.update();
})
delete(callback)
Deletes this record from the database using the primary keys of the table
// Gets comment with id = 5.
db.schema.comments.get({ where: 'id = 5' }, (error, results, fields) => {
// Creates a Row object and initializing it with the data of the retrieved record
var record = db.schema.comments.row(results[0])
// this deletes the record from the database
record.delete();
})
callback
A function to be triggered when main function is finished processing. It passes 3 parameters:
- error: will be an
Error
if one occurred during the query - results: will contain the results of the query
- fields: will contain information about the returned results fields (if any)
What's new
v1.0.7: Now you can assign an object to
options.where
, properties of the object will be treated as a column name and its value. All conditions are connected byAND
. You still can useoptions.where
as a string to provide a customizedWHERE
to the query.v1.1.2: Using
SQL Functions
inSELECT
is available now by starting the string with a space character, for exampleselect: [' COUNT(*)', 'Name']
.
