monologue

Monologue - Streamlined query building

Breaking Changes for v0.3.0

Monologue now defaults to sanitizing strings inline as opposed to creating bound parameters. This option can be changed by passing { escape: false } into monologue().

The join function now defaults to INNER JOIN for parity with MYSQLs defaults

Install

npm install monologue

API

A new method has been introduced to deal with situations where backquoting is required. An experimental approach was tested in previous versions where backquoting could be done inline, but this proved to be buggy and impossible to perform accurately. However, you can now do it manually with monologue.backquote(). The method accepts 3 types of data: an array of column names, an object, or a string. An array will result in each element being backquoted. An object will return an array of backquoted keys. A string will be returned backquoted.

Example:

// result: [ '`email`', '`password`', '`type`' ]
monologue().backquote(['email', 'password', 'type']);

// result: [ '`pizza`', '`drink`', '`dessert`' ]
monologue().backquote({
    pizza: "hawaiin bbq chicken",
    drink: "chocolate milk",
    dessert: "german chocolate cake"
});

// result: '`cupcake`'
monologue().backquote('cupcake');

Usage

var monologue = require('monologue');

// Less than basic SELECT statement


// call the SQL wrappers in any order, see below: where, group, where, order
var mono = monologue()
    .select( "*", "users")
    .where( { "id": [1,2,3,4,5,6] } ) // alternative to where("id").in([...])
    .where( 'date_time' ).between( '2012-09-12', '2013-01-20')
    .group( ['type', 'hamster' ] )
    .where( "name", "OR" ).like("ro%en") // out of order, also passing "OR" as separator
    .order( "id" )
    .limit( '300', 1000 )
    .query();

console.log( mono.sql );
// output: SELECT * FROM users WHERE id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6) AND date_time BETWEEN '2012-09-12' AND '2013-01-20' OR name LIKE 'ro%en' GROUP BY type, hamster ASC ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1000, 300


// JOIN (default is inner):
// SELECT * FROM users u INNER JOIN posts p ON p.user_id = u.id WHERE category = '67'

monologue()
    .select( "*", "users u" )
    .join( "posts p", "p.user_id = u.id" )
    .where( { "category": "67" } )
    .query().sql;


// JOIN (LEFT, as argument):
// SELECT * FROM users u LEFT JOIN posts p ON p.user_id = u.id WHERE category = '67'

monologue()
    .select( "*", "users u" )
    .join( "LEFT", "posts p", { "p.user_id": "u.id" } )
    .where( { "category": "67" } )
    .query().sql;


// SELECT into outfile: the third param (OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY) is, as stated, optional. Just pass in the line ending and leave the 4th param out, the rest will be taken care of
// output: SELECT * FROM users WHERE company = 'general motors' INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/datafile' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'


monologue()
    .select( "*", "users" )
    .where( { "company": "general motors" } )
    .file( "/tmp/datafile", ",", '"', "\\n" )
    .query().sql;


// SELECT into outfile: without third param
// output: SELECT * FROM users WHERE company = 'general motors' INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/datafile' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','  LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

monologue()
    .select( "*", "users")
    .where( { "company": "general motors" } )
    .file( "/tmp/datafile", ",", "\\n" )
    .query().sql;


// INSERT, passing an array of objects
// output: INSERT INTO users (first_name, password, username) VALUES ('me','1234','test'),('pasta','abcd','example')

monologue()
    .insert( 'users', [
        { username: 'test', password: '1234', first_name: 'me' },
        { username: 'example', password: 'abcd', first_name: "pasta" }
    ] )
    .query().sql;


// INSERT, passing a single object
// output: INSERT INTO users (first_name, password, username) VALUES ('cubert','abcd','me')

monologue()
    .insert( 'users', {
        username: 'me', password: 'abcd', first_name: "cubert"
    } )
    .query().sql;


// UPDATE
// output: UPDATE users SET email = '[e-mail]', password = 'abcdefg', username = 'yoyo' WHERE id = 23

monologue()
    .update( "users", {username: "yoyo", email: '[e-mail]', password: "abcdefg"} )
    .where( {id: 23} )
    .query().sql;


// DELETE
// output: DELETE FROM users WHERE first_name = 'me' AND password = '1234' AND username = 'test'

monologue()
    .delete( 'users', { username: 'test', password: '1234', first_name: "me" } )
    .query().sql;


// UNION
// Wrappers can be out of order BEFORE the UNION statement,
// wrappers after will be applied to the secondary statment
// output: SELECT username, email FROM users WHERE company_id = '1234' UNION SELECT screename, email_address FROM app_users WHERE company = 'coName'

monologue()
    .select('username, email', 'users')
    .where({"company_id": "1234"})
    .union('screename, email_address', 'app_users')
    .where({"company":"coName"})
    .query().sql
