MySQL On The Rocks

A dead-simple Node.js module designed for handling storage / retrieval of Javascript objects to MySQL.

The underlying layer uses Q for Promises and node-mysql as adapter.

Quick example

"use strict";


var mysql = require("mysql-on-the-rocks");


// First you need to create a connection to the db
mysql.create({
  host: "localhost",
  port: 3306,
  user: "admin", 
  password: "abcdefgh"
}).then(function (db) {

  // Retrieve an object
  return db.findObject("wallets", { 
    id: 123 
  }).then(function (obj) {

    // Update it
    obj.dollars += 100;
    
    // Save to the db
    return db.save(obj);
  });

}).fail(function (error) {
  // ...
}).done();

API Reference

mysql.findObjects(tableName, query, [order, count, offset])

Finds an object in the database.

Argument	Type	Description
tableName	String	Name of the table to query on
query	Object	An object describing the query
order	Object	An object with fields as keys and order direction as values.
count	Number	The max amount of objects to return
offset	Number	The starting offset of the result set

---

mysql.findObject(tableName, query, [order, offset])

Alias of mysql.findObjects with count set at 1.

---

mysql.save(tableName, obj)

Argument	Type	Description
tableName	String	Name of the table to query on
obj	Object	The object to save

Returns Promise<Object>

If the object has an id already, it will be updated, otherwise it will be inserted and the id will be appended.

---

mysql.insertObject(tableName, obj)

and

mysql.updateObject(tableName, obj)

See mysql.save()

---

mysql.deleteObject(tableName, object)

Argument	Type	Description
tableName	String	Name of the table to query on
obj	Object	The object to delete (id must be defined)

Returns Promise<Object>

Deletes the object from the table.

---

mysql.findObjectsWithQuery(queryString)

Argument	Type	Description
queryString	String	The MySQL query

Returns Promise<Object>

Use this method if you want to retrieve objects and not use the internal query builder.

---

mysql.query(queryString)

Argument	Type	Description
queryString	String	The MySQL query

Returns Promise<Object>

You probably won't use this method that much, but it allows you to call manually the internal query() method of the MySQL driver.

Examples

Save and update an object

mysql.save("users", {
  email: "[email protected]"
}).then(function (user) {
  // .. user.id is now defined!
  
  // Let's update the email now
  user.email = "[email protected]";
  return mysql.save("users", user);
}).fail(function (error) {
  // ...
}).done();

Retrieve a set of objects

var tableName = "users";

var query = { 
  planCode: "pro"
};

var order = {
  created: "desc"
};


mysql.findObjects(
  tableName, query, order, 100
).then(function (users) {
  // .. do something with the received users  
}).fail(function (error) {
  // .. handle the error
}).done();
