Reshuffle MySQL Connector

This package contains a Reshuffle connector to MySQL databases.

The connector uses Node MySQL 2 Client package.

The following example lists all information from the "users" table:

const { Reshuffle } = require('reshuffle')
const { MySQLConnector } = require('reshuffle-mysql-connector')

  const app = new Reshuffle()
  const mysql = new MySQLConnector(app, {
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    user: process.env.DB_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
    database: process.env.DB_NAME
  })

  const result = await mysql.query("SELECT * FROM Users where firstName = 'John'")
  console.log('rows: ',result.rows)
  console.log('fields: ',result.fields)

Configuration Configuration options

Connector actions:

close Close all active connections

query Run a single query on the database

sequence Run a series of queries on the databse

transaction Run a transaction on the databae

sdk Retrieve the client sdk object with support of Promise API

Configuration options

const app = new Reshuffle();
const mysql = new MySQLConnector(app, {
  host: process.env.DB_HOST,
  user: process.env.DB_USERNAME,
  password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
  database: process.env.DB_NAME 
})

For more information about connection attributes check the mysql2 and Node.js mysql Connection Options documentation.

Connector actions

Close action

await mysql.close()

Close all connections to the database. If an application terminates without calling close, it might hang for a few seconds until active connections time out.

Query action

await mysql.query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('John', 'Coltrane', 42)")

const family = await mysql.query(
  "SELECT firstName, lastName, age FROM users WHERE lastName='Coltrane'"
)

const avgResponse = await mysql.query(
  "SELECT average(age) AS avg FROM users WHERE lastName='Coltrane'"
)
const averageAge = avgResponse.rows[0].avg

The query action can be used to run any SQL command on the connected database (not just SELECT). The query is defined in the sql string. The optional params can be used to generate parameterized queries, as shown in the following example:

const age = await mysql.query(
  "SELECT age FROM users WHERE firstName = ? and lastName = ?",
  ['John', 'Smith']
)

This action returns an object with the results of the query, where fields is an array of all field names, as returned by the query. Field names in a SELECT query are column names, or are specified with an AS clause. Every element of rows uses the names in fields as its object keys.

Note that every call to query may use a different database connection. You can use the sequence or transaction actions if such a guarantee is required.

Sequence action

const res = await mysql.sequence(async (query) => {
  await query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('Miles', 'Davis', 43)")
  return query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
})
const userCount = res.rows[0].count

Use sequence to perform multiple queries on the same database connection. This action receives a seq function that may issue queries to the database, all of which are guaranteed to run through the same connection. seq gets one argument, which is a query function that can be used the same way as the query action. seq may, of course, use any JavaScript code to implement its logic, log to the console etc.

Note that while sequence uses the same connection to run all queries, it does not offer the transactional guarantees offered by transaction. You can use it for weak isolation models, or construct transactions directly without using transaction.

Transaction action

await mysql.transaction(async (query) => {
  const res = await query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
  const userCount = res.rows[0].count
  if (100 <= userCount) {
    throw new Error('Too many users:', userCount)
  }
  return query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('Charlie', 'Parker', 49)")
})

Use transaction to run multiple queries as an atomic SQL transaction. The interface is identical to the sequence action, but all the queries issued seq either success or fail together. If any of the queries fail, all queries are rolled back and an error is thrown.

Consider, for example, the following code for updating a bank account balance:

  const accountId = 289
  const change = 1000
  mysql.transaction(async (query) => {
    await query(`
      UPDATE accounts
        SET balance = balance + ?
        WHERE account_id = ?
      `,
      [change, accountId],
    )
    await query(`
      INSERT INTO accounts_log(account_id, change, time)
        VALUES (?, ?, current_timestamp)
      `,
      [change, accountId],
    )
  })

Full access to the MySQL Client SDK with support of Promise API

const sdk = mysql.sdk()

const connection = await mysql.sdk().createConnection({
  host: process.env.DB_HOST,
  user: process.env.DB_USERNAME,
  password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
  database: process.env.DB_NAME 
})

const [rows, fields] = await connection.execute('SELECT * FROM Users')
console.log('rows: ',rows)
console.log('fields: ',fields)
