Small wrapper for mysql and mysql2 that use promises.
This module is installed via npm:
$ npm install mysql-promise
var db = require('mysql-promise')();
db.configure({
"host": "localhost",
"user": "foo",
"password": "bar",
"database": "db"
});
db.query('UPDATE foo SET key = ?', ['value']).then(function () {
return db.query('SELECT * FROM foo');
}).spread(function (rows) {
console.log('Loook at all the foo', rows);
});
//using multiple databases, giving it a name 'second-db' so it can be retrieved inside other modules/files.
var db2 = require('mysql-promise')('second-db');
//check if has already been configured
if (!db2.isConfigured()) {
db2.configure({
"host": "localhost",
"user": "foo",
"password": "bar",
"database": "another-db"
});
}
db2.query('SELECT * FROM users').spread(function (users) {
console.log('Hello users', users);
});
Using mysql2
var mysql2 = require('mysql2');
var db = require('mysql-promise')();
var opts = {
"host": "localhost",
"user": "foo",
"password": "bar",
"database": "db"
};
db.configure(opts, require('mysql2'));
Use different promise implementation
var db = require('mysql-promise')();
db.configure(dbOpts, null, PromiseImpl);
