boco-knex-rdb

Installation

Installation is available via npm or github.

$ npm install boco-knex-rdb
$ git clone https://github.com/bocodigitalmedia/boco-knex-rdb

Usage

BocoKnexRDB = require "boco-knex-rdb"
knex = require("knex") client: "sqlite3", connection: "test.db"

Let's create a "users" table to use for our examples:

defineUsersTable = (table) ->
  table.uuid("id").primary()
  table.string("username")
  table.string("full_name")
  table.json("serialized_data")
  table.boolean("active").defaultTo(true)
 
createUsersTable = ->
  knex.schema.createTableIfNotExists("users", defineUsersTable)
 
createUsersPromise = createUsersTable()

We'll also hold on to a "user" record for later use.

record =
  id: "aaeab0c8-201f-4a1b-85bd-f925a01d551c"
  username: "[e-mail]"
  full_name: null
  serialized_data: JSON.stringify(foo: "bar")
  active: false

Make sure the table was created before continuing...

createUsersPromise.asCallback (error, result) ->
  expect(error?).toBe false
  ok()

Table Gateway

gateway = new BocoKnexRDB.TableGateway knex: knex, table: "users"

Modifying record construction

Since knex returns 1 or 0 for booleans, let's override the constructRecord method to return true and false on our active property:

gateway.constructRecord = (record) ->
  record.active = Boolean(record.active)
  record

Inserting a record

Insert a new record by passing in the record data.

gateway.insert record, (error, incrementId) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(incrementId).toBe 1
  ok()

Updating a record

Update a record by passing in the identifier, followed by a set of update parameters.

parameters =
  username: "[e-mail]"
  full_name: "John Doe"
  active: true
 
gateway.update record.id, parameters, (error, updateCount) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(updateCount).toEqual 1
  ok()

Reading a record

Read a record by passing in the identifier.

gateway.read record.id, (error, result) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(result.id).toEqual record.id
  expect(result.username).toEqual "[e-mail]"
  expect(result.full_name).toEqual "John Doe"
  expect(result.serialized_data).toEqual '{"foo":"bar"}'
  expect(result.active).toEqual 1
  ok()

Reading all records

Just call all to get a Cursor for all records

cursor = gateway.all()
cursor.toArray (error, records) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(records.length).toEqual(1)
  expect(records[0].id).toEqual record.id
  ok()

Finding records with scopes

Define named scopes for your gateway, with each scope receiving a query pre-bound to select full records from the table.

The second argument of your scope method will be the value passed to the scope via the find method.

gateway.defineScope "isActive", (query, activeState) ->
  query.where active: activeState
 
gateway.defineScope "withLastName", (query, last) ->
  query.where "full_name", "like", "% #{last}"

Call find with scopes and their parameters to get a cursor.

cursor = gateway.find isActive: true, withLastName: "Doe"
 
cursor.toArray (error, results) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(results.length).toBe 1
  ok()

Transactions

Pass a knex transaction as an option into any method as the last parameter before the callback to run that method within the transaction:

• gateway.insert record, {transaction}, done
• gateway.update id, parameters, {transaction}, done
• gateway.read id, transaction: {transaction}, done
• gateway.remove id, {transaction}, done
• gateway.all {transaction}

DataMapper

The DataMapper acts as a layer over a TableGateway.

usersGateway = new BocoKnexRDB.TableGateway knex: knex, table: "users"
mapper = new BocoKnexRDB.DataMapper tableGateway: usersGateway

Define the object source map for your records and the objects they represent. See boco-object-source-map for more information on object source maps.

Note that there are default resolvers on both the recordSourceMap and objectSourceMap for translating snakeCase record keys to camelCase object keys, and vice-versa.

mapper.defineObjectSourceMap
  id: null
  username: null
  firstName: (record) -> record.full_name.split(" ")[0]
  lastName: (record) -> record.full_name.split(" ")[1]
  data: ["serialized_data", JSON.parse]
  active: null
 
mapper.defineRecordSourceMap
  id: null
  username: null
  full_name: (user) -> [user.firstName, user.lastName].join(" ")
  serialized_data: ["data", JSON.stringify]
  active: null

Using the DataMapper

The methods of the DataMapper mimic the underlying TableGateway interface. The only difference being that your model objects are converted to and from records.

userId = record.id
 
mapper.read userId, (error, user) ->
  throw error if error?
  expect(user.id).toEqual record.id
  expect(user.username).toEqual "[e-mail]"
  expect(user.firstName).toEqual "John"
  expect(user.lastName).toEqual "Doe"
  expect(user.data.foo).toEqual "bar"
  ok()
