Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

squel - SQL query string builder

Build Status NPM module

A flexible and powerful SQL query string builder for Javascript.

Full documentation (guide and API) at http://squeljs.org/.

Features

  • Works in node.js and in the browser.
  • Supports the standard SQL queries: SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE.
  • Supports non-standard commands for popular DB engines such as MySQL.
  • Can be customized to build any query or command of your choosing.
  • Uses method chaining for ease of use.
  • Small: ~5 KB minified and gzipped
  • And much more, see the guide..

Installation

node.js

Install using npm:

$ npm install squel

Browser

Use bower if you like:

$ bower install squel

WARNING: Do not ever pass queries generated on the client side to your web server for execution. Such a configuration would make it trivial for a casual attacker to execute arbitrary queries—as with an SQL-injection vector, but much easier to exploit and practically impossible to protect against.

Available files

  • squel.js - unminified version of Squel with the standard commands and all available non-standard commands added
  • squel.min.js - minified version of squel.js
  • squel-basic.js - unminified version of Squel with only the standard SQL commands
  • squel-basic.min.js - minified version of squel-basic.js

Examples

Before running the examples ensure you have squel installed and enabled at the top of your script:

var squel = require("squel");

SELECT

// SELECT * FROM table
squel.select()
    .from("table")
    .toString()

// SELECT `t1`.`id`, `t1`.`name` as "My name", `t1`.`started` as "Date" FROM table `t1` ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 20
squel.select({ autoQuoteFieldNames: true })
    .from("table", "t1")
    .field("t1.id")
    .field("t1.name", "My name")
    .field("t1.started", "Date")
    .order("id")
    .limit(20)
    .toString()

// SELECT t1.id, t2.name FROM table `t1` LEFT JOIN table2 `t2` ON (t1.id = t2.id) WHERE (t2.name <> 'Mark') AND (t2.name <> 'John') GROUP BY t1.id
squel.select()
    .from("table", "t1")
    .field("t1.id")
    .field("t2.name")
    .left_join("table2", "t2", "t1.id = t2.id")
    .group("t1.id")
    .where("t2.name <> 'Mark'")
    .where("t2.name <> 'John'")
    .toString()

You can use nested queries too:

// SELECT s.id FROM (SELECT * FROM students) `s` INNER JOIN (SELECT id FROM marks) `m` ON (m.id = s.id)
squel.select()
    .from( squel.select().from('students'), 's' )
    .field('id')
    .join( squel.select().from('marks').field('id'), 'm', 'm.id = s.id' )
    .toString()

UPDATE

// UPDATE test SET f1 = 1
squel.update()
    .table("test")
    .set("f1", 1)
    .toString()

// UPDATE test, test2, test3 AS `a` SET test.id = 1, test2.val = 1.2, a.name = "Ram", a.email = NULL, a.count = a.count + 1
squel.update()
    .table("test")
    .set("test.id", 1)
    .table("test2")
    .set("test2.val", 1.2)
    .table("test3","a")
    .setFields({
        "a.name": "Ram",
        "a.email": null,
        "a.count = a.count + 1": undefined
    })
    .toString()

INSERT

// INSERT INTO test (f1) VALUES (1)
squel.insert()
    .into("test")
    .set("f1", 1)
    .toString()

// INSERT INTO test (name, age) VALUES ('Thomas', 29), ('Jane', 31)
squel.insert()
    .into("test")
    .setFieldsRows([
        { name: "Thomas", age: 29 },
        { name: "Jane", age: 31 }    
    ])
    .toString()

DELETE

// DELETE FROM test
squel.delete()
    .from("test")
    .toString()

// DELETE FROM table1 WHERE (table1.id = 2) ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2
squel.delete()
    .from("table1")
    .where("table1.id = ?", 2)
    .order("id", false)
    .limit(2)

Paramterized queries

Use the useParam() method to obtain a parameterized query with a separate list of formatted parameter values:

// { text: "INSERT INTO test (f1, f2, f3, f4, f5) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)", values: [1, 1.2, "TRUE", "blah", "NULL"] }
squel.insert()
    .into("test")
    .set("f1", 1)
    .set("f2", 1.2)
    .set("f3", true)
    .set("f4", "blah")
    .set("f5", null)
    .toParam()

Expression builder

There is also an expression builder which allows you to build complex expressions for WHERE and ON clauses:

// test = 3 OR test = 4
squel.expr()
    .or("test = 3")
    .or("test = 4")
    .toString()

// test = 3 AND (inner = 1 OR inner = 2) OR (inner = 3 AND inner = 4 OR (inner IN ('str1, 'str2', NULL)))
squel.expr()
    .and("test = 3")
    .and_begin()
        .or("inner = 1")
        .or("inner = 2")
    .end()
    .or_begin()
        .and("inner = ?", 3)
        .and("inner = ?", 4)
        .or_begin()
            .and("inner IN ?", ['str1', 'str2', null])
        .end()
    .end()
    .toString()

// SELECT * FROM test INNER JOIN test2 ON (test.id = test2.id) WHERE (test = 3 OR test = 4)
squel.select()
    .join( "test2", null, squel.expr().and("test.id = test2.id") )
    .where( squel.expr().or("test = 3").or("test = 4") )

Custom value types

By default Squel does not support the use of object instances as field values. Instead it lets you tell it how you want specific object types to be handled:

// handler for objects of type Date
squel.registerValueHandler(Date, function(date) {
  return date.getFullYear() + '/' + date.getMonth() + '/' + date.getDate();
});

squel.update().
  .table('students')
  .set('start_date', new Date(2013, 5, 1))
  .toString()

// UPDATE students SET start_date = '2013/5/1'

Note that custom value handlers can be overridden on a per-instance basis (see the docs)

Custom queries

Squel allows you to override the built-in query builders with your own as well as create your own types of queries:

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Setup the PRAGMA query builder
// ------------------------------------------------------
var util = require('util');   // to use util.inherits() from node.js

var CommandBlock = function() {};
util.inherits(CommandBlock, squel.cls.Block);

// private method - will not get exposed within the query builder
CommandBlock.prototype._command = function(_command) {
  this._command = _command;
}

// public method - will get exposed within the query builder
CommandBlock.prototype.compress = function() {
  this._command('compress');
};

CommandBlock.prototype.buildStr = function() {
  return this._command.toUpperCase();
};


// generic parameter block
var ParamBlock = function() {};
util.inherits(ParamBlock, squel.cls.Block);

ParamBlock.prototype.param = function(p) {
  this._p = p;
};

ParamBlock.prototype.buildStr = function() {
  return this._p;
};


// pragma query builder
var PragmaQuery = function(options) {
  squel.cls.QueryBuilder.call(this, options, [
      new squel.cls.StringBlock(options, 'PRAGMA'),
      new CommandBlock(),
      new ParamBlock()
  ]);
};
util.inherits(PragmaQuery, squel.cls.QueryBuilder);


// convenience method (we can override built-in squel methods this way too)
squel.pragma = function(options) {
  return new PragmaQuery(options)
};


// ------------------------------------------------------
// Build a PRAGMA query
// ------------------------------------------------------

squel.pragma()
  .compress()
  .param('test')
  .toString();

// 'PRAGMA COMPRESS test'

Non-standard SQL

Squel supports the standard SQL commands and reserved words. However a number of database engines provide their own non-standard commands. To make things easy Squel allows for different 'flavours' of SQL to be loaded and used.

At the moment Squel provides mysql, mssql and postgres flavours which augment query builders with additional commands (e.g. INSERT ... RETURNING for use with Postgres).

To use this in node.js:

var squel = require('squel').useFlavour('postgres');

For the browser:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://rawgithub.com/hiddentao/squel/master/squel.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  squel = squel.useFlavour('postgres');
</script>

(Internally the flavour setup method simply utilizes the custom query mechanism to effect changes).

Read the the API docs to find out available commands. Flavours of SQL which get added to Squel in the future will be usable in the above manner.

Building it

To build the code and run the tests:

$ npm install -g grunt-cli
$ npm install
$ grunt <-- this will build the code and run the tests
