mysql-query-placeholders

Build prepared statements from named parameters.

Consider the following object:

const user = {
  id: 123,
  status: {
    active: true,
  },
  services: {
    home: {
      route: '/',
    },
    dashboard: {
      route: '/dashboard',
    },
  },
  name: 'John',
  email: '[e-mail]',
};

Then you can easily create a prepared statement for MySQL using the data from the object above.

const mqp = require('mysql-query-placeholders');
const mysql = require('mysql2').createConnection...
 
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id AND name = :name;';
const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user);
console.log(queryData);
// {
//   sql: 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND name = ?;',
//   values: [123, 'John'],
// }
 
// use named parameters
mysql.query(queryData, (err, result) => {...});

ES6 Module

import {queryBuilder} from 'mysql-query-placeholders';
import {createConnection} from 'mysql2/promise';
 
const mysql = createConnection(...);
 
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id AND name = :name;';
const queryData = queryBuilder(query, user);
console.log(queryData);
// {
//   sql: 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND name = ?;',
//   values: [123, 'John'],
// }
 
// use named parameters
await mysql.query(queryData);

Handling missing parameters

MySQL throws an error if a parameter is not given. Passing a configuration object with useNullForMissing set to true (which is true by default), a null value is used instead.

const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id AND last_name = :last_name;';
const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user, {useNullForMissing: true});
console.log(queryData);
// {
//   sql: 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND last_name = ?;',
//   values: [123, null],
// }

If you do not want to use null by default, you can throw an error instead, setting the useNullForMissing configuration option to false.

try {
  const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id AND last_name = :last_name;';
  const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user, {useNullForMissing: false});
} catch (e) {
  errorMessage = e.message;
  console.log(errorMessage);
  // Missing value for statement.
  //   last_name not provided for statement:
  //   ...
}

Support for multiple level object property values

mqp is capable to get a object property value from a key.name.property.value syntax. This is useful when you do not want to reassign the property value to another variable or you want to use the original object instead of creating a new one.

const query = 'SELECT * FROM services WHERE route IN (:services.dashboard.route, :services.home.route);';
const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user);
console.log(queryData);
// {
//   sql: 'SELECT * FROM services WHERE route IN (?, ?);',
//   values: [ '/dashboard', '/' ]
// }

Missing property:

const query = 'INSERT INTO services (name, route) VALUES (\'cpanel\', :services.cpanel.route);';
const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user);
console.log(queryData);
// {
//   sql: "INSERT INTO services (name, route) VALUES ('cpanel', ?);",
//   values: [ null ]
// }

Or using {useNullForMissing: false} config:

try {
  const query = 'SELECT * FROM services WHERE route = :services.cpanel.route;';
  const queryData = mqp.queryBuilder(query, user, {useNullForMissing: false});
} catch (e) {
  errorMessage = e.message;
  console.log(errorMessage);
  //  Missing value for statement.
  //    services.cpanel.route not provided for statement:
  //    ...
}
