mysql-events

A node.js package that watches a MySQL database and runs callbacks on matched events.

This package is based on the original ZongJi and the original mysql-events modules. Please make sure that you meet the requirements described at ZongJi, like MySQL binlog etc.

Check @kuroski's mysql-events-ui for a mysql-events UI implementation.

Install

npm install @firanorg/non-praesentium-sint

Quick Start

const mysql = require('mysql');
const MySQLEvents = require('@firanorg/non-praesentium-sint');

const program = async () => {
  const connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: 'root',
  });

  const instance = new MySQLEvents(connection, {
    startAtEnd: true,
    excludedSchemas: {
      mysql: true,
    },
  });

  await instance.start();

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'TEST',
    expression: '*',
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.ALL,
    onEvent: (event) => { // You will receive the events here
      console.log(event);
    },
  });
  
  instance.on(MySQLEvents.EVENTS.CONNECTION_ERROR, console.error);
  instance.on(MySQLEvents.EVENTS.ZONGJI_ERROR, console.error);
};

program()
  .then(() => console.log('Waiting for database events...'))
  .catch(console.error);

Usage

#constructor(connection, options)

• Instantiate and create a database connection using a DSN

  const dsn = {
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'username',
    password: 'password',
  };
  
  const myInstance = new MySQLEvents(dsn, { /* ZongJi options */ });

• Instantiate and create a database connection using a preexisting connection

  const connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'username',
    password: 'password',
  });
  
  const myInstance = new MySQLEvents(connection, { /* ZongJi options */ });

• Options(the second argument) is for ZongJi options

  const myInstance = new MySQLEvents({ /* connection */ }, {
    serverId: 3,
    startAtEnd: true,
  });

  See more about ZongJi options

  #start()

• start function ensures that MySQL is connected and ZongJi is running before resolving its promise

  myInstance.start()
    .then(() => console.log('I\'m running!'))
    .catch(err => console.error('Something bad happened', err));

  #stop()

• stop function terminates MySQL connection and stops ZongJi before resolving its promise

  myInstance.stop()
    .then(() => console.log('I\'m stopped!'))
    .catch(err => console.error('Something bad happened', err));

  #pause()

• pause function pauses MySQL connection until #resume() is called, this it useful when you're receiving more data than you can handle at the time

  myInstance.pause();

  #resume()

• resume function resumes a paused MySQL connection, so it starts to generate binlog events again

  myInstance.resume();

  #addTrigger({ name, expression, statement, onEvent })

• Adds a trigger for the given expression/statement and calls the onEvent function when the event happens

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'MY_TRIGGER',
    expression: 'MY_SCHEMA.MY_TABLE.MY_COLUMN',
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.INSERT,
    onEvent: async (event) => {
      // Here you will get the events for the given expression/statement.
      // This could be an async function.
      await doSomething(event);
    },
  });

• The name argument must be unique for each expression/statement, it will be user later if you want to remove a trigger

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'MY_TRIGGER',
    expression: 'MY_SCHEMA.*',
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.ALL,
    ...
  });
  
  instance.removeTrigger({
    name: 'MY_TRIGGER',
    expression: 'MY_SCHEMA.*',
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.ALL,
  });

• The expression argument is very dynamic, you can replace any step by * to make it wait for any schema, table or column events

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'Name updates from table USERS at SCHEMA2',
    expression: 'SCHEMA2.USERS.name',
    ...
  });

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'All database events',
    expression: '*',
    ...
  });

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'All events from SCHEMA2',
    expression: 'SCHEMA2.*',
    ...
  });

  instance.addTrigger({
    name: 'All database events for table USERS',
    expression: '*.USERS',
    ...
  });

• The statement argument indicates in which database operation an event should be triggered

  instance.addTrigger({
    ...
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.ALL,
    ...
  });

  Allowed statements
• The onEvent argument is a function where the trigger events should be threated

  instance.addTrigger({
    ...
    onEvent: (event) => {
      console.log(event); // { type, schema, table, affectedRows: [], affectedColumns: [], timestamp, }
    },
    ...
  });

  #removeTrigger({ name, expression, statement })

• Removes a trigger from the current instance

  instance.removeTrigger({
    name: 'My previous created trigger',
    expression: '',
    statement: MySQLEvents.STATEMENTS.INSERT,
  });

  Instance events

• MySQLEvents class emits some events related to its MySQL connection and ZongJi instance

  instance.on(MySQLEvents.EVENTS.CONNECTION_ERROR, (err) => console.log('Connection error', err));
  instance.on(MySQLEvents.EVENTS.ZONGJI_ERROR, (err) => console.log('ZongJi error', err));

  Available events

Tigger event object

It has the following structure:

{
  type: 'INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE',
  schema: 'SCHEMA_NAME',
  table: 'TABLE_NAME',
  affectedRows: [{
    before: {
      column1: 'A',
      column2: 'B',
      column3: 'C',
      ...
    },
    after: {
      column1: 'D',
      column2: 'E',
      column3: 'F',
      ...
    },
  }],
  affectedColumns: [
    'column1',
    'column2',
    'column3',
  ],
  timestamp: 1530645380029,
  nextPosition: 1343,
  binlogName: 'bin.001',
}

Make sure the database user has the privilege to read the binlog on database that you want to watch on.
