MySQL Async/Await Wrapper v2.1.1

Simple wrapper for MySQL async/await functionality. Intended for functionality to mimic the popular mysql Node.js callback-based package, but with additional methods for awaiting execution. Goal is for normal methods to be unaffected and only additional await methods added, though accomplished through intermediary class objects.

Installation

npm i mysql-await

Provided Async/Await Methods

The methods below have been added as async/await wrappers to existing MySQL methods of similar name. In order to use them, simply "await" their execution rather than passing a callback for the last argument of the function call. For original methods for which "await" methods may have been added, as needed, see the mysql library.

Connections from mysql.createConnection()

• Connection.awaitBeginTransaction()
• Connection.awaitChangeUser(params)
• Connection.awaitCommit()
• Connection.awaitConnect()
• Connection.awaitDestroy()
• Connection.awaitEnd()
• Connection.awaitQuery(query[, params])
• Connection.awaitRollback()

Connection Pool's from mysql.createPool()

• Pool.awaitEnd()
• Pool.awaitGetConnection()
• Pool.awaitQuery(query[, params])

Connections from pool.getConnection()

• Connection.awaitBeginTransaction()
• Connection.awaitChangeUser(params)
• Connection.awaitCommit()
• Connection.awaitQuery(query[, params])
• Connection.awaitRollback()

Configuration:

Example JSON configuration

{
  "connectionLimit" : 10,
  "host"            : "example.org",
  "user"            : "bob",
  "password"        : "secret",
  "database"        : "my_db"
}

Example Using Single Connection

const fs = require(`fs`);
const mysql = require(`mysql-await`);

/** Self-executing asynchronous function so we can await results in this example */
(async () => {
  /** Create connection pool using loaded config */
  const connection = mysql.createConnection(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`mysql-config.json`)));

  connection.on(`error`, (err) => {
    console.error(`Connection error ${err.code}`);
  });

  /** Perform query on connection */
  let result = await connection.awaitQuery(`SELECT * FROM people WHERE lastName = ?`, [`Doe`]);
  
  /** Log output */
  console.log(result);
    
  /** Begin a new transaction */
  await connection.awaitBeginTransaction();
  
  /** Perform query for max id number in users table */
  result = await connection.awaitQuery(`SELECT MAX(id) maxId FROM people`);
  
  /** Add one to max id to get new id number */
  const newId = result[0].maxId + 1;
  
  /** Insert new test user with new id number */
  await connection.awaitQuery(`INSERT INTO people (id, firstName, lastName, age) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)`, [newId, `Ebenezer`, `Scrooge`, 142]);
  
  /** Commit transaction */
  await connection.awaitCommit();
  
  /** End the connection */
  connection.awaitEnd();
})();

Example Output

[
  RowDataPacket { id: 3, firstName: 'Jane', lastName: 'Doe', age: 45 }
]

Example Using Connection Pool

const fs = require(`fs`);
const mysql = require(`mysql-await`);

/** Self-executing asynchronous function so we can await results in this example */
(async () => {
  /** Create connection pool using loaded config */
  const pool = mysql.createPool(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`mysql-config.json`)));

  pool.on(`acquire`, (connection) => {
    console.log(`Connection %d acquired`, connection.threadId);
  });
  
  pool.on(`connection`, (connection) => {
    console.log(`Connection %d connected`, connection.threadId);
  });

  pool.on(`enqueue`, () => {
    console.log(`Waiting for available connection slot`);
  });

  pool.on(`release`, function (connection) {
    console.log(`Connection %d released`, connection.threadId);
  });

  const connection = await pool.awaitGetConnection();
  
  connection.on(`error`, (err) => {
    console.error(`Connection error ${err.code}`);
  });

  /** Perform query on connection */
  let result = await connection.awaitQuery(`SELECT * FROM people WHERE lastName = ?`, [`Smith`]);
  
  /** Log output */
  console.log(result);
  
  /** Release connection */
  connection.release();
    
  /** Perform query on pool (opens a connection, runs query, releases connection) */
  result = await pool.awaitQuery(`SELECT * FROM people WHERE age = ?`, [45]);
  
  /** Log output */
  console.log(result);
  
  /** Get a new connection from the pool */
  const connection2 = await pool.awaitGetConnection();
  
  /** Begin a new transaction */
  await connection2.awaitBeginTransaction();
  
  /** Perform query for max id number in users table */
  result = await connection2.awaitQuery(`SELECT MAX(id) maxId FROM people`);
  
  /** Add one to max id to get new id number */
  const newId = result[0].maxId + 1;
  
  /** Insert new test user with new id number */
  await connection2.awaitQuery(`INSERT INTO people (id, firstName, lastName, age) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)`, [newId, `Jacob`, `Marley`, 147]);
  
  /** Commit transaction */
  await connection2.awaitCommit();
  
  /** Release connection */
  connection2.release();
  
  /** Close connection pool */
  await pool.awaitEnd();
})();

Example Output

Connection 16 connected
Connection 16 acquired
[
  RowDataPacket {
    id: 2,
    firstName: 'John',
    lastName: 'Smith',
    age: 37
  }
]
Connection 16 released
Connection 16 acquired
Connection 16 released
[
  RowDataPacket { id: 3, firstName: 'Jane', lastName: 'Doe', age: 45 }
]
Connection 16 acquired
Connection 16 released
