Typed Mysql
A very thin layer on top of the mysql2 library that also provides types and helpful crud operations
Design Principles:
- Avoid using heavyweight ORMs or complex query builders
- Let typescript help you auto-complete and verify your queries
- Be as lightweight as possible, no Code inspection is required
- Provide basic crud commands out of the box, handroll more complex queries with a couple of small helper functions
The idea behind the library
The general idea behind the library is to combine the power of schemats to describe your database types and then use those to help developers do simple database commands.
This library isn't meant to compete with any ORM, and can't even be seen as a diet version of slonik. This library is more of just a way for developers who like using queries directly, but to continue doing so with some typescript support.
Example code helps best tho:
Setting up requires:
- A mysql (or mariadb) database
- Schemats
- This library
Given the following SQL:
CREATE TYPE "pet_store"."animal" AS enum (
'cat',
'dog'
);
CREATE TABLE "pet_store"."user" (
"id" uuid PRIMARY KEY default gen_random_uuid(),
"name" text NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE "pet_store"."pet" (
"id" uuid PRIMARY KEY default gen_random_uuid(),
"owner" uuid REFERENCES "pet_store"."user",
"type" pet_store.animal NOT NULL,
"name" text NOT NULL,
"birthdate" date,
"last_seen_location" point,
"random_facts" jsonb,
"more_random_facts" jsonb
);
COMMENT ON COLUMN pet_store.pet.random_facts is '@type {RandomPetFacts}';
Which schemats will produce the following types from:
import { RandomPetFacts } from './db-custom-types'
export enum Animal {
Cat = 'cat',
Dog = 'dog'
}
export interface User {
id: string
name: string
}
export interface Pet {
id: string
owner?: string | null
type: Animal
name: string
birthdate?: Date | null
lastSeenLocation?: { x: number, y: number } | null
randomFacts?: RandomPetFacts | null
moreRandomFacts?: unknown | null
}
export interface Tables {
user: User,
pet: Pet
}
export type CustomTypes = RandomPetFacts
And then just pass those types to the postgres driver:
import pino from 'pino'
import pg from 'pg'
// This file is automatically generated using schemats
import { Tables, CustomTypes, Animal } from './db-types'
import { TypedPostgresPool, TypedPostgresClient } from '../src'
const main = async () => {
const logger = pino()
// This creates
const connectionParams: pg.PoolConfig = {}
const pool = new TypedPostgresPool<Tables, CustomTypes>(connectionParams, logger)
const database = new TypedPostgresClient(pool, logger)
// This is the pet uuid
const id = 'uuid'
// SELECT
{
// This returns an object of type Pick<DB.Pet, 'owner' | 'birthdate'>
const { owner, birthdate } = await database.crudGet(
'pet',
['owner', 'birthdate'],
{ id },
new Error('Pet Not Found')
)
console.log(owner, birthdate)
}
{
// This returns an array of type Pick<DB.Pet, 'owner' | 'birthdate'>[]
const results = await database.crudGet(
'pet',
['owner', 'birthdate'],
{ id }
)
console.log(results)
}
{
// This returns an array of type DB.Pet
const { owner, birthdate } = await database.crudGetAll(
'pet',
{ id },
new Error('Pet Not Found')
)
console.log(owner, birthdate)
}
{
// This returns an array of type DB.Pet[]
const results = await database.crudGetAll(
'pet',
{ id }
)
console.log(results)
}
// UPDATE
// This updates the pet
await database.crudUpdate('pet', {
lastSeenLocation: { x: 50, y: 20 }
}, { id })
// This updates the pet but throws an error if it isn't exactly
// one pet that was updated
await database.crudUpdate('pet', {
lastSeenLocation: { x: 50, y: 20 }
}, { id }, new Error('Pet not updated'))
// INSERT
// This inserts the pet and returns the id
{
const { id: petId } = await database.crudInsert('pet', {
name: 'Bob',
type: Animal.Dog
}, ['id'])
console.log(petId)
}
// DELETE
// This delets the pet and returns whatever values
await database.crudDelete('pet', { id }, ['id'], new Error('Pet not Found'))
// Basic Query Helpers
// Currently we just provide createFields and selectField methods
await database.query<any>(
({ cf, sf }) => `
SELECT
${sf('pet', ['id', 'name'], 'p')},
json_build_object(
'pet': json_build_object(${cf('pet', ['id', 'name'], 'p')}),
'owner': json_build_object(${cf('user', ['id', 'name'])})
)
FROM pet_store.pet as p
JOIN pet_store.user on user.id = pet.owner
WHERE name = $1
`,
['bob']
)
// But you can also use the normal pg-node query
await database.query(`SELECT * FROM pet_store`)
// With .one and .many as utils
await database.one(`SELECT * FROM pet_store`, ['name'], new Error('Not Found'))
// With .one and .many as utils
await database.many(`SELECT * FROM pet_store`, ['name'])
}
main()
API Docs
Coming soon, still improving on library APIs
To Run:
You can run the example code by:
- first creating the schema in mysql
- yarn run example:schema
and then playing around with the example/example.ts file
Tests
I haven't yet written tests specifically for this libray, to be honest it's currently just forked off typed-postgres with mysql adaptions.
Extra functionality
Theres actually some further functionality such as:
- all operations are in a transaction, which is required to rollback if more than one thing is updated
- transactions sets a user sessions variables which is used for audit logs
- you can write generic filters which gets transformed into SQL queries. This isn't exposed since the aim of the library is to stick to SQL as much as possible, but to be honest the code becomes repetitive and having a simple query builder helps alot.
- pools also have crudGet / crudGetAll / query API since you don't need a specific client nor transaction
Thanks!
