FoxHound

The FoxHound javascript query generator, for node.js and the browser.

Getting Started

$ npm install foxhound --save

Then...

var foxhound = require('foxhound');
var my_awesome_query = foxhound.scope('Users').cap(20).generate().query.body;
console.log(my_awesome_query);

The default query dialect is english, so, node should output:

Please give me 20 of your Users.  Thank you!

This is not very useful for anything other than testing, so, we might want to change the dialect and try again:

var foxhound = require('foxhound');
var my_awesome_query = foxhound.scope('Users').cap(20).setDialect('MySQL').generate().query.body;
console.log(my_awesome_query);

Which now will output:

SELECT * FROM Users LIMIT 20;

Testing

$ npm test
$ npm run coverage

Docker Development Environment

1. Run this command to build this image:

docker build ./ -t retold/foxhound:local

alternatively you can use npm to run this

npm run docker-dev-build-image

2. Run this command to build the local container:

docker run -it --name foxhound-dev -p 127.0.0.1:12346:8080 -v "$PWD/.config:/home/coder/.config"  -v "$PWD:/home/coder/foxhound" -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" -e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" retold/foxhound:local

alternatively you can use npm to run this

npm run docker-dev-run

3. Go to http://localhost:12346/ in a web browser

4. The password is "retold"

5. Right now you (may) need to delete the node_modules folders and regenerate it for Linux.
