promise-mysql-native v3.3.2

Promise-mysql

Promise-mysql is a wrapper for mysqljs/mysql that wraps function calls with Bluebird promises. Usually this would be done with Bluebird's .promisifyAll() method, but mysqljs/mysql's footprint is different to that of what Bluebird expects.

To install promise-mysql, use npm:

$ npm install promise-mysql

Please refer to mysqljs/mysql for documentation on how to use the mysql functions and refer to Bluebird for documentation on Bluebird's promises

At the minute only the standard connection (using .createConnection()) and the pool (using .createPool()) is supported. createPoolCluster is not implemented yet.

Examples

Connection

Important note: don't forget to call connection.end() when you're finished otherwise the Node process won't finish

To connect, you simply call .createConnection() like you would on mysqljs/mysql:

var mysql = require('promise-mysql');

mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'sauron',
    password: 'theonetruering',
    database: 'mordor'
}).then(function(conn){
    // do stuff with conn
    conn.end();
});

To use the promise, you call the methods as you would if you were just using mysqljs/mysql, minus the callback. You then add a .then() with your function in:

var mysql = require('promise-mysql');

mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'sauron',
    password: 'theonetruering',
    database: 'mordor'
}).then(function(conn){
    var result = conn.query('select `name` from hobbits');
    conn.end();
    return result;
}).then(function(rows){
    // Logs out a list of hobbits
    console.log(rows);
});

You can even chain the promises, using a return within the .then():

var mysql = require('promise-mysql');
var connection;

mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'sauron',
    password: 'theonetruering',
    database: 'mordor'
}).then(function(conn){
    connection = conn;
    return connection.query('select `id` from hobbits where `name`="frodo"');
}).then(function(rows){
    // Query the items for a ring that Frodo owns.
    var result = connection.query('select * from items where `owner`="' + rows[0].id + '" and `name`="ring"');
    connection.end();
    return result;
}).then(function(rows){
    // Logs out a ring that Frodo owns
    console.log(rows);
});

You can catch errors using the .catch() method. You can still add .then() clauses, they'll just get skipped if there's an error

var mysql = require('promise-mysql');
var connection;

mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'sauron',
    password: 'theonetruering',
    database: 'mordor'
}).then(function(conn){
    connection = conn;
    return connection.query('select * from tablethatdoesnotexist');
}).then(function(){
    var result = connection.query('select * from hobbits');
    connection.end();
    return result;
}).catch(function(error){
    if (connection && connection.end) connection.end();
    //logs out the error
    console.log(error);
});

Pool

Use pool directly:

pool = mysql.createPool({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'sauron',
  password: 'theonetruering',
  database: 'mordor',
  connectionLimit: 10
});

pool.query('select `name` from hobbits').then(function(rows){
    // Logs out a list of hobbits
    console.log(rows);
});

Get a connection from the pool:

pool.getConnection().then(function(connection) {
    connection.query('select `name` from hobbits').then(...)
}).catch(function(err) {
    done(err);
});

Using/Disposer Pattern with Pool

Example implementing a using/disposer pattern using Bluebird's built-in using and disposer functions.

databaseConnection.js:

var mysql = require('promise-mysql');

pool = mysql.createPool({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'sauron',
  password: 'theonetruering',
  database: 'mordor',
  connectionLimit: 10
});

function getSqlConnection() {
  return pool.getConnection().disposer(function(connection) {
    pool.releaseConnection(connection);
  });
}

module.exports = getSqlConnection;

sqlQuery.js:

var Promise = require("bluebird");
var getSqlConnection = require('./databaseConnection');
Promise.using(getSqlConnection(), function(connection) {
    return connection.query('select `name` from hobbits').then(function(rows) {
      return console.log(rows);
    }).catch(function(error) {
      console.log(error);
    });
})

Tests

At the moment only simple basics tests are implemented using Mocha. To run the tests, you need to connect to a running MySQL server. A database or write permissions are not required.

If you have docker, you can run a docker container bound to the mysql port with the command:

docker run -p 3306:3306 --name mysql_container -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql

Start the test suite with

DB_HOST=localhost DB_USER=user DB_PWD=pwd npm test
