What is this?

The package supports a custom relational system.

Where can I get this?

Initialization

init(connectionParams, dbSchema)

• connectionParams is an object containing the host, port, user, password and name of the database
• dbSchema is the object containing the schema to be created by the package, see the Schema header for more information

Example

const db = require('mysql_interface');
const fs = require("fs");
db.init({host: "127.0.0.1", port: 3306, user: "myUser", password: "myPassword", database: "myDatabase"}, JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('schema.json', 'UTF-8')));

Database Schema

{
    "tableName": {
        "fields": {
            "column":{
                "type": "columnType",
                "flags": "column flags",
                "default": "'default value'",
                "transform": null
            }
        },
        "pk": "column"
    }
}

Descriptions:

• tableName is the name of the table to be created, must be single words
• column is the name of the column
• type is the type of column (bigint, varchar, etc)
• flags are the flags attached to this column (unsigned, NOT NULL, AUTO_INCREMENT) should be space seperated.
• default is the default value for that column, strings should be enclosed in single quotes
• pk is an optional property that just states which column is the primary key.

Select data

db.tableName.get(query)

• tableName is the name of the table
• query is the object containing what is being searched (see example)

Example:

db.users.get({
    username: "myUsername"
})

Update data

db.tableName.update(fields, where)

• tableName is the name of the table
• fields is the object containing what fields are being updated (see example)
• where is the object containing the search method (see example)

Example:

db.users.update({
    fields: {
        age: 18,
    },
    where: {
        field: "username",
        value: "myUsername",
        operator: "="
    }
})

Insert data

db.tableName.create(data)

• tableName is the name of the table
• data is the object containing the fields

Example:

db.users.create({
    username: "myUsername",
    password: "myPassword",
    age: 20
})

Delete data

db.tableName.delete(query)

• tableName is the name of the table
• query is the object containing what is being searched (see example)

Example:

db.users.delete({
    username: "myUsername"
})

Relations

Single Relationship Example

"car": {
    "type": "bigint",
    "flags": "unsigned",
    "default": null,
    "transform": null,
    "related": {
        "table": "users",
        "field": "id"
    },
    "relation": "single"
}

In the return for a get statment, there will be the data from the linked row.

Multiple Relationship Example

"keys": {
    "type": "string",
    "flags": "",
    "default": null,
    "transform": null,
    "related": {
        "table": "keys",
        "field": "id"
    },
    "relation": "multiple"
}

The data for this column should be stored in a stringified array: "[keyID1,keyID2,keyID3]" In a get statment the returned data will be in an array for each item. If the package fails to find a refrenced row, it will return null in its place.
