Murmuration for MariaDB

Statements, transactions and migrations for MariaDB.

This package is based largely on the following parent one:

• Murmuration

This readme file contains a small amount of information specific to this package, however the parent package's readme file is the place to look for how to make use of this package's functionality.

Installation

You can install Murmuration for MariaDB with npm:

npm install murmuration-mariadb

You can also clone the repository with Git...

git clone https://github.com/djalbat/murmuration-mariadb.git

...and then install the dependencies with npm from within the project's root directory:

npm install

Usage

General usage instructions are given in the aforementioned parent package's readme file.

const murmuration = require("murmuration-mariadb"); ///

const { database, migrate, transaction, Connection } = murmuration,
      { query, execute } = database;

...

This package leverages the mysql package and uses its parameterised queries. This guard against SQL injection without further ado.

Configuration

The configuration argument should be a plain old JavaScript object with at least the following properties:

{
  host,
  user,
  password,
  database
}

The full list of options can be found in the mysql package documentation here.

As mentioned in the parent package's readme file, if a log property is provided on the configuration object then the log.error() function will be called with a message containing a reasonable stab at the cause of the error. Specifically, the following error codes are mapped to the following messages:

• ECONNREFUSED - 'The database isn\'t running, probably.'

• ENOTFOUND - 'The host is wrong, probably.'

• ER_BAD_DB_ERROR - 'The database name is wrong, probably.'

• ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR - 'The username or the password are wrong, probably.'

• ETIMEOUT or PROTOCOL_SEQUENCE_TIMEOUT - 'The database server is down, probably.'

Placeholders

A variable length list of parameters can be passed between the sql and callback arguments of both the query() and execute() functions. These replace the ? placeholders in the SQL you provide. For example, if the SQL passed to the query() function is the following...

  SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE `username`=? and `password`=MD5(?);

...then you would call the query() function thus:

const username = ... ,
      password = ... ;

query(connection, sql, username, password, (error, rows) => {

  ...

});

The execute() function is treated entirely similarly.

For more information on placeholders and performing queries in general, see the mysql package documentation here.
