Initialization

Utilities can be attached to connection using mix-ins:

// Library dependencies
const mysql = require('mysql');
const mysqlUtilities = require('mysql-utilities');

const connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'userName',
  password: 'secret',
  database: 'databaseName',
});

connection.connect();

// Mix-in for Data Access Methods and SQL Autogenerating Methods
mysqlUtilities.upgrade(connection);

// Mix-in for Introspection Methods
mysqlUtilities.introspection(connection);

// Do something using utilities
connection.queryRow(
  'SELECT * FROM _Language where LanguageId=?',
  [3],
  (err, row) => {
    console.dir({ queryRow: row });
  }
);

// Release connection
connection.end();

Examples

Single row selection: connection.queryRow(sql, values, callback) returns hash as callback second parameter, field names becomes hash keys.

connection.queryRow(
  'SELECT * FROM Language where LanguageId=?',
  [3],
  (err, row) => {
    console.dir({ queryRow: row });
  }
);

Output:

queryRow: {
  LanguageId: 3,
  LanguageName: 'Russian',
  LanguageSign: 'ru',
  LanguageISO: 'ru',
  Caption: 'Русский'
}

Single value selection: connection.queryValue(sql, values, callback) returns single value as callback second parameter (instead of array in array). For example, for Id selection by name with LIMIT 1 or count(*), max(field) etc.

connection.queryValue(
  'SELECT LanguageName FROM Language where LanguageId=?',
  [8],
  (err, name) => {
    console.dir({ queryValue: name });
  }
);

Output:

{
  queryValue: 'Italiano';
}

Single column selection: connection.queryCol(sql, values, callback) returns array as callback second parameter.

connection.queryCol('SELECT LanguageSign FROM Language', [], (err, result) => {
  console.dir({ queryCal: result });
});

Output:

queryArray: ['de', 'en', 'es', 'fr', 'it', 'pl', 'ru', 'ua'];

Hash selection: connection.queryHash(sql, values, callback) returns hash as callback second parameter, hash keyed by first field values from SQL statement.

connection.queryHash(
  'SELECT LanguageSign, LanguageId, LanguageName, Caption, LanguageISO FROM Language',
  [],
  (err, result) => {
    console.dir({ queryHash: result });
  }
);

Output:

queryHash: {
  en: {
    LanguageSign: 'en',
    LanguageId: 2,
    LanguageName: 'English',
    Caption: 'Английский',
    LanguageISO: 'en' },
  ru: {
    LanguageSign: 'ru',
    LanguageId: 3,
    LanguageName: 'Russian',
    Caption: 'Русский',
    LanguageISO: 'ru' },
  de: {
    LanguageSign: 'de',
    LanguageId: 7,
    LanguageName: 'Deutsch',
    Caption: 'Немецкий',
    LanguageISO: 'de' },
  it: {
    LanguageSign: 'it',
    LanguageId: 8,
    LanguageName: 'Italiano',
    Caption: 'Итальянский',
    LanguageISO: 'it'
  }
}

Key/value pair selection: connection.queryKeyValue(sql, values, callback) returns hash as callback second parameter, hash keyed by first field, values filled by second field.

connection.queryKeyValue(
  'SELECT LanguageISO, LanguageName FROM Language',
  [],
  (err, keyValue) => {
    console.dir({ queryKeyValue: keyValue });
  }
);

Output:

keyValue: {
  en: 'English',

Generate MySQL WHERE statement: connection.where(conditions), works synchronously, no callback. Returns WHERE statement for given JSON-style conditions.

const where = connection.where({
  id: 5,
  year: '>2010',
  price: '100..200',
  level: '<=3',
  sn: '*str?',
  label: 'str',
  code: '(1,2,4,10,11)',
});
console.dir(where);
// Output: "id = 5 AND year > '2010' AND (price BETWEEN '100' AND '200') AND
// level <= '3' AND sn LIKE '%str_' AND label = 'str' AND code IN (1,2,4,10,11)"

Generate SELECT statement: connection.select(table, whereFilter, orderBy, callback)

connection.select(
  'Language',
  '*',
  { LanguageId: '1..3' },
  { LanguageId: 'desc' },
  (err, results) => {
    console.dir({ select: results });
  }
);

Generate INSERT statement: connection.insert(table, row, callback)

connection.insert(
  'Language',
  {
    LanguageName: 'Tatar',
    LanguageSign: 'TT',
    LanguageISO: 'TT',
    Caption: 'Tatar',
  },
  (err, recordId) => {
    console.dir({ insert: recordId });
  }
);

Generate UPDATE statement: connection.update(table, row, callback)

connection.update(
  'Language',
  {
    LanguageId: 25,
    LanguageName: 'Tatarca',
    LanguageSign: 'TT',
    LanguageISO: 'TT',
    Caption: 'Tatarca',
  },
  (err, affectedRows) => {
    console.dir({ update: affectedRows });
  }
);

Generate UPDATE statement with "where": connection.update(table, row, where, callback)

connection.update(
  'Language',
  { LanguageSign: 'TT' },
  { LanguageId: 1 },
  (err, affectedRows) => {
    console.dir({ update: affectedRows });
  }
);

Generate INSERT statement if record not exists or UPDATE if it exists: connection.upsert(table, row, callback)

connection.upsert(
  'Language',
  {
    LanguageId: 25,
    LanguageName: 'Tatarca',
    LanguageSign: 'TT',
    LanguageISO: 'TT',
    Caption: 'Tatarca',
  },
  (err, affectedRows) => {
    console.dir({ upsert: affectedRows });
  }
);

Get record count: connection.count(table, whereFilter, callback)

connection.count('Language', { LanguageId: '>3' }, (err, count) => {
  console.dir({ count });
  // count: 9
});

Generate DELETE statement: connection.delete(table, whereFilter, callback)

connection.delete('Language', { LanguageSign: 'TT' }, (err, affectedRows) => {
  console.dir({ delete: affectedRows });
});
