rockset-node-client v2

Official Rockset Javascript/Typescript SDK.

npm i rockset

What's new

Supports ES6 promises and Typescript out of the box.

Requirements

At least Node v4.3.2

If you are using Webpack, you should have ES6 support.

Optionally use Typescript for type checking.

Documentation

Further documentation of the Javascript SDK can be found in the Rockset Docs.

Usage

Import Using Require

const rockset = require("rockset").default(
  apikey,
  "https://api.rs2.usw2.rockset.com"
);

await rockset.queries.query({
  sql: { query: "Select count(*) from _events" },
});

Import Using ES6 Syntax

import rocksetConfigure from "rockset";
const rockset = rocksetConfigure(apikey, "https://api.rs2.usw2.rockset.com");

await rockset.queries.query({
  sql: { query: "Select count(*) from _events" },
});

Query Lambdas

// Create a Query Lambda
rockset.queryLambdas
  .createQueryLambda("commons", {
    name: "myQuery",
    sql: {
      query: "SELECT :param as echo",
      default_parameters: [
        {
          name: "param",
          type: "string",
          value: "Hello world!",
        },
      ],
    },
  })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

// Execute a Query Lambda with default parameters (or no parameters)
rockset.queryLambdas
  .executeQueryLambda(
    /* workspace */ "commons",
    /* queryName */ "myQuery",
    /* version */ 1
  )
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

// Execute a Query Lambda with, and specify parameters
rockset.queryLambdas
  .executeQueryLambda("commons", "myQuery", 1, {
    parameters: [
      {
        name: "param",
        value: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy",
        type: "string",
      },
    ],
  })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

Custom Fetch Function

By default, the rockset-node-client is a thin wrapper that sends REST calls to Rockset using node-fetch. Many applications may require more complex behavior. If additional functionality is required, rockset-node-client can be configured to generate the parameters for a REST call, and pass them to a custom fetch function to be handled accordingly.

Here is an example that shows how to support cancelling API calls using a custom fetch function with Axios. To supply a custom fetch function, we pass it in as the last parameter to rocksetConfigure.

Note this does not cancel the API request on Rockset's servers

import axios from "axios";
import rocksetConfigure from "rockset";

// Super simple fetch with axios: axios docs show how to check for errors, cancel requests etc.
const customFetchAxios = async (
  url: string,
  { headers, method, body: data, queryParams: params, cancelToken }: any
) => {
  const res = await axios.request({
    url,
    headers,
    method,
    data,
    params,
    cancelToken,
  });

  return res.data;
};

// Configure
const basePath = "https://api.rs2.usw2.rockset.com";
const apikey = "<your apikey>";

const rockset = rocksetConfigure(apikey, basePath, customFetchAxios);
const cancelSource = axios.CancelToken.source();

// To execute a query
rockset.queries
  .query(
    { sql: { query: "Select count(*) from _events" } },
    { cancelToken: cancelSource.token }
  )
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

// To cancel the request through axios
// *** THIS DOES NOT CANCEL THE QUERY ON OUR SERVERS ***
cancelSource.cancel();

You can see a few more sample examples of how to create a collection, how to put documents in a collection and how to use SQL to query your collections.

Testing
