Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

MySQL REST API Server

支持MySQL、TiDB、达梦数据库的REST API服务器,提供完整的数据库操作接口。

数据库配置

本项目支持多种数据库,并提供丰富的命令行参数配置:

支持的数据库

  • MySQL: 原生MySQL数据库
  • TiDB: 分布式NewSQL数据库
  • 达梦: 国产数据库

配置文档

快速开始

MySQL数据库

# 基本连接
xmysql --dialect mysql -h localhost -u root -p password

# 高并发配置
xmysql --dialect mysql -h localhost -u root -p password \
  --mysqlConnectionLimit 100 --mysqlMaxIdle 50 \
  --mysqlQueueLimit 500 --mysqlIdleTimeout 30000

达梦数据库

# 基本连接
xmysql --dialect dameng -h localhost -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p SYSDBA

# 高并发配置(5000+并发)
xmysql --dialect dameng -h localhost -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p SYSDBA \
  --dmPoolMax 250 --dmPoolMin 50 --dmPoolTimeout 90 \
  --dmQueueMax 15000 --dmQueueTimeout 90000 --dmTestOnBorrow

# 生产环境配置(关闭HTTP访问日志和SQL查询日志)
xmysql --dialect dameng -h localhost -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p SYSDBA \
  --dmPoolMax 250 --dmPoolMin 50 --disableAccessLog

构建和打包

本项目提供完整的构建工具链,支持生成自包含的单文件可执行程序,无需在目标系统安装Node.js环境。

构建自包含可执行文件

使用 pkg.sh 脚本可以构建自包含的可执行文件:

# 自动检测当前架构并构建
./pkg.sh

# 交叉编译:在x86_64上构建ARM64版本
TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 ./pkg.sh

# 交叉编译:在ARM64上构建x86_64版本  
TARGET_ARCH=x86_64 ./pkg.sh

# 指定Node.js版本(默认为v22.17.0)
NODE_VERSION=v20.11.1 ./pkg.sh

# 组合使用:交叉编译并指定Node.js版本
TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 NODE_VERSION=v20.11.1 ./pkg.sh

构建结果

构建完成后,在 bin/ 目录下会生成对应架构的可执行文件:

  • bin/mysql-rest-x86_64 - x86_64架构可执行文件
  • bin/mysql-rest-aarch64 - ARM64架构可执行文件

特性说明

  • 真正的自包含:包含完整的Node.js运行时,无需目标系统安装Node.js
  • 原生模块支持:完全支持dmdb、mysql2、snappy等原生模块
  • 交叉编译:支持在x86_64和ARM64之间交叉编译
  • 智能缓存:自动缓存Node.js二进制文件,加速后续构建
  • 自动清理:运行时自动清理临时文件,防止磁盘空间浪费
  • 构建后清理:每次构建完成后自动清理所有遗留的临时目录

使用构建的可执行文件

生成的可执行文件与原Node.js版本具有相同的命令行接口:

# MySQL数据库
./bin/mysql-rest-x86_64 --dialect mysql -h localhost -u root -p password

# 达梦数据库
./bin/mysql-rest-aarch64 --dialect dameng -h localhost -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p SYSDBA

新增功能

  1. _refby说明:表table_a中的id字段是否被table_b中的a_id字段所引用,ref_by_model为输出结果key字段名称,结果为true/false
    示例:
    GET http://localhost:15000/api/dbname.table_a?_refby=id,dbname.table_b,a_id,ref_by_model

  2. _include说明:表table_a中的b_idc_id为其它表的外键,将其展开为具体表内容。
    示例:
    GET http://localhost:15000/api/dbname.table_a?_include=b_id,dbname.table_b,id;c_id,dbname.table_c,id

  3. _refcheck说明:批量删除某个表的记录时,检查表中哪些列是否被其它表某列使用,如果该id被使用时,则不删除该id对应的记录。
    示例:
    DELETE http://localhost:15000/api/dbname.table_a/bulk?_ids=11,22,33,44&_refcheck=class_col_a,db.talbe_b,class;category_col_in_a,db.table_c.category

  4. _sort说明:排序时,支持字段为字符串的列内容转成数字之后来排序。字符串默认按ASCII排序,当内容为中文时排序会有问题,因此需要将中文转成数字再排序。
    示例(升序与降序):
    GET http://localhost:15000/api/dbname.table_a?_sort=score(高|5|中|4|低|3|信息|2)
    GET http://localhost:15000/api/dbname.table_a?_sort=-score(高|5|中|4|低|3|信息|2)

  5. 新增raw接口: 扩展dynamic接口,用于支持单次多条SQL语句提交。 说明:

      POST /api/raw 
      [
        {
          "query": "lock table dbname.table_a write",
          "params": ""
        },
        {
          "query": "select * from dbname.table_a where id='6711131423589335041'",
          "params": ""
        },
        {
          "query": "UNLOCK TABLES",
          "params": ""
        }
      ]

    返回结果:

    [
        {
            "fieldCount": 0,
            "affectedRows": 0,
            "insertId": 0,
            "info": "",
            "serverStatus": 2,
            "warningStatus": 0,
            "changedRows": 0
        },
        [
            {
                "id": "6711131423589335041",
                "other_fields": ""
            }
        ],
        {
            "fieldCount": 0,
            "affectedRows": 0,
            "insertId": 0,
            "info": "",

            "warningStatus": 0,
            "changedRows": 0
        }
    ]
  6. 添加启动项参数--dialect: 方言参数用于支持国产 TiDB、达梦8 数据库 类型。 示例:
    ${workspaceFolder}/bin/index.js -r 0.0.0.0 --dialect dameng -n 15236 -h 127.0.0.1 -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p PASSWORD
    ${workspaceFolder}/bin/index.js -r 0.0.0.0 -n 13306 -h 127.0.0.1 -o 3306 -u root -p PASSWORD

  7. 使用pkg打包成二进制文件,无node依赖,同时支持x86及arm环境。 示例:
    bin/mysql-rest-$(uname -m) -r 0.0.0.0 --dialect dameng -n 15236 -h 127.0.0.1 -o 5236 -u SYSDBA -p PASSWORD

Xmysql : One command to generate REST APIs for any MySql database, support multi databases

Why this ?

Generating REST APIs for a MySql database which does not follow conventions of frameworks such as rails, django, laravel etc is a small adventure that one like to avoid ..

Hence this.

Setup and Usage

xmysql requires node >= 7.6.0

npm install -g xmysql
xmysql -h localhost -u mysqlUsername -p mysqlPassword -d databaseName
http://localhost:3000

That is it! Simple and minimalistic!

Happy hackery!

Example : Generate REST APIs for Magento

Powered by popular node packages : (express, mysql) => { xmysql }

Relational Tables

xmysql identifies foreign key relations automatically and provides GET api.

/api/blogs/103/comments

eg: blogs is parent table and comments is child table. API invocation will result in all comments for blog primary key 103. :arrow_heading_up:

Support for composite primary keys

___ (three underscores)

/api/payments/103___JM555205

___ : If there are multiple primary keys - separate them by three underscores as shown

Pagination

_p & _size

_p indicates page and _size indicates size of response rows

By default 20 records and max of 100 are returned per GET request on a table.

/api/payments?_size=50
/api/payments?_p=2
/api/payments?_p=2&_size=50

When _size is greater than 100 - number of records defaults to 100 (i.e maximum)

When _size is less than or equal to 0 - number of records defaults to 20 (i.e minimum)

Order by / Sorting

ASC

/api/payments?_sort=column1

eg: sorts ascending by column1

DESC

/api/payments?_sort=-column1

eg: sorts descending by column1

Multiple fields in sort

/api/payments?_sort=column1,-column2

eg: sorts ascending by column1 and descending by column2

Column filtering / Fields

/api/payments?_fields=customerNumber,checkNumber

eg: gets only customerNumber and checkNumber in response of each record

/api/payments?_fields=-checkNumber

eg: gets all fields in table row but not checkNumber

Row filtering / Where

Comparison operators

eq      -   '='         -  (colName,eq,colValue)
ne      -   '!='        -  (colName,ne,colValue)
gt      -   '>'         -  (colName,gt,colValue)
gte     -   '>='        -  (colName,gte,colValue)
lt      -   '<'         -  (colName,lt,colValue)
lte     -   '<='        -  (colName,lte,colValue)
is      -   'is'        -  (colName,is,true/false/null)
in      -   'in'        -  (colName,in,val1,val2,val3,val4)
bw      -   'between'   -  (colName,bw,val1,val2) 
like    -   'like'      -  (colName,like,~name)   note: use ~ in place of % 
nlike   -   'not like'  -  (colName,nlike,~name)  note: use ~ in place of %

Use of comparison operators

/api/payments?_where=(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or((amount,gt,200)~and(amount,lt,2000))

Logical operators

~or     -   'or'
~and    -   'and'
~xor    -   'xor'

Use of logical operators

eg: simple logical expression

/api/payments?_where=(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or(checkNumber,eq,OM314933)

eg: complex logical expression

/api/payments?_where=((checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or(checkNumber,eq,OM314933))~and(amount,gt,100)

eg: logical expression with sorting(_sort), pagination(_p), column filtering (_fields)

/api/payments?_where=(amount,gte,1000)&_sort=-amount&p=2&_fields=customerNumber

eg: filter of rows using _where is available for relational route URLs too.

/api/offices/1/employees?_where=(jobTitle,eq,Sales%20Rep)

FindOne

/api/tableName/findOne?_where=(id,eq,1)

Works similar to list but only returns top/one result. Used in conjunction with _where :arrow_heading_up:

Count

/api/tableName/count

Returns number of rows in table :arrow_heading_up:

Exists

/api/tableName/1/exists

Returns true or false depending on whether record exists :arrow_heading_up:

Group By Having as query params

:arrow_heading_up:

/api/offices?_groupby=country

eg: SELECT country,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country

/api/offices?_groupby=country&_having=(_count,gt,1)

eg: SELECT country,count(1) as _count FROM offices GROUP BY country having _count > 1

Group By Having as API

:arrow_heading_up:

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country

eg: SELECT country,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city

eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city&_having=(_count,gt,1)

eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) as _count FROM offices GROUP BY country,city having _count > 1

Group By, Order By

:arrow_heading_up:

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city&_sort=city

eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city&_sort=city,country

eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC, country ASC

/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city&_sort=city,-country

eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC, country DESC

Aggregate functions

:arrow_heading_up:

   },
   {
       "amount": "0 to 140000",
       "_count": 273

]
  1. Range can be specified without any step params like below
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount&range=1

[
    {
        "amount": "-9860 to 11100",
        "_count": 45
    },
    {
        "amount": "-9860 to 32060",
        "_count": 136
    },
    ...
    
]

请注意: _fields 在 Chart API 中只能接受数字列作为参数。

Autochart

Identifies numeric columns in a table which are not any sort of key and applies chart API as before - feels like magic when there are multiple numeric columns in table while hacking/prototyping and you invoke this API.

XJOIN

Xjoin query params and values:

_join           :   List of tableNames alternated by type of join to be made (_j, _ij,_ lj, _rj)
alias.tableName :   TableName as alias
_j              :   Join [ _j => join, _ij => ij, _lj => left join , _rj => right join)
_onNumber       :   Number 'n' indicates condition to be applied for 'n'th join between (n-1) and 'n'th table in list  

Simple example of two table join:

Sql join query:


SELECT pl.field1, pr.field2
FROM productlines as pl
    JOIN products as pr
        ON pl.productline = pr.productline

Equivalent xjoin query API:

/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products&_on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)&_fields=pl.field1,pr.field2

Multiple tables join

Sql join query:

SELECT pl.field1, pr.field2, ord.field3
FROM productlines as pl
    JOIN products as pr
        ON pl.productline = pr.productline
    JOIN orderdetails as ord
        ON pr.productcode = ord.productcode

Equivalent xjoin query API:

/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products,_j,ord.orderDetails&_on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)&_on2=(pr.productcode,eq,ord.productcode)&_fields=pl.field1,pr.field2,ord.field3

Explanation:

pl.productlines => productlines as pl

_j => join

pr.products => products as pl

_on1 => join condition between productlines and products => (pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)

_on2 => join condition between products and orderdetails => (pr.productcode,eq,ord.productcode)

Example to use : _fields, _where, _p, _size in query params

/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products&_on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)&_fields=pl.productline,pr.productName&_size=2&_where=(productName,like,1972~)

Response:

[{"pl_productline":"Classic Cars","pr_productName":"1972 Alfa Romeo GTA"}]

Please note : Xjoin response has aliases for fields like below aliasTableName + '_' + columnName.
eg: pl.productline in _fields query params - returns as pl_productline in response.

Run dynamic queries

:arrow_heading_up:

Dynamic queries on a database can be run by POST method to URL localhost:3000/dynamic

This is enabled ONLY when using local mysql server i.e -h localhost or -h 127.0.0.1 option.

Post body takes two fields : query and params.

query: SQL query or SQL prepared query (ones with ?? and ?)

params : parameters for SQL prepared query

POST /dynamic   

    {
        "query": "select * from ?? limit 1,20",
        "params": ["customers"]
    }

POST /dynamic URL can have any suffix to it - which can be helpful in prototyping

eg:

POST /dynamic/weeklyReport
POST /dynamic/user/update

Upload single file

:arrow_heading_up:

POST /upload

Do POST operation on /upload url with multiform 'field' assigned to local file to be uploaded

eg: curl --form file=@/Users/me/Desktop/a.png http://localhost:3000/upload

returns uploaded file name else 'upload failed'

(Note: POSTMAN has issues with file uploading hence examples with curl)

Upload multiple files

:arrow_heading_up:

POST /uploads

Do POST operation on /uploads url with multiform 'fields' assigned to local files to be uploaded

Notice 's' near /api/uploads and files in below example

eg: curl --form files=@/Users/me/Desktop/a.png --form files=@/Users/me/Desktop/b.png http://localhost:3000/uploads

returns uploaded file names as string

Download file

:arrow_heading_up:

http://localhost:3000/download?name=fileName

For upload and download of files -> you can specify storage folder using -s option Upload and download apis are available only with local mysql server

Docker

:arrow_heading_up:

Simply run with docker run -p 3000:80 -d markuman/xmysql:0.4.2

The best way for testing is to run mysql in a docker container too and create a docker network, so that xmysql can access the mysql container with a name from docker network.

  1. Create network
    • docker network create mynet
  2. Start mysql with docker name some-mysql and bind to docker network mynet
    • docker run --name some-mysql -p 3306:3306 --net mynet -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d markuman/mysql
  3. run xmysql and set env variable for some-mysql from step 2
    • docker run -p 3000:80 -d -e DATABASE_HOST=some-mysql --net mynet markuman/xmysql

You can also pass the environment variables to a file and use them as an option with docker like docker run --env-file ./env.list -p 3000:80 --net mynet -d markuman/xmysql

environment variables which can be used:

ENV DATABASE_HOST 127.0.0.1
ENV DATABASE_USER root
ENV DATABASE_PASSWORD password
ENV DATABASE_NAME sakila

Furthermore, the docker container of xmysql is listen on port 80. You can than request it just with http://xmysql/api/ in other services running in the same docker network.

Debugging xmysql in docker.

Given you've deployed your xmysql docker container like

docker run -d \
--network local_dev \
--name xmysql \
-p 3000:80 \
-e DATABASE_HOST=mysql_host \
-e DATABASE_USER=root \
-e DATABASE_PASSWORD=password \
-e DATABASE_NAME=sys \
markuman/xmysql:0.4.2

but the response is just

["http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/tables","http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/xjoin"]

then obviously the connection to your mysql database failed.

  1. attache to the xmysql image
    • docker exec -ti xmysql
  2. install mysql cli client
    • apk --update --no-cache add mysql-client
  3. try to access your mysql database
    • mysql-client -h mysql_host
  4. profit from the mysql-client error output and improve the environment variables for mysql

Nginx Reverse Proxy Config with Docker

:arrow_heading_up:

This is a config example when you use nginx as reverse proxy

events {
   worker_connections 1024;
   
}
http {
    server {
        server_name 127.0.0.1;
        listen 80 ;
        location / {
            rewrite ^/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_redirect off;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        }
    }
}

e.g.

  1. create a docker network docker network create local_dev
  2. start a mysql server docker run -d --name mysql -p 3306:3306 --network local_dev -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password mysql
  3. start xmysql docker run -d --network local_dev --name xmyxql -e DATABASE_NAME=sys -e DATABASE_HOST=mysql -p 3000:80 markuman/xmysql:0.4.2
  4. start nginx on host system with the config above sudo nginx -g 'daemon off;' -c /tmp/nginx.conf
  5. profit curl http://127.0.0.1/api/host_summary_by_file_io_type/describe

When you start your nginx proxy in a docker container too, use as proxy_pass the --name value of xmysql. E.g. proxy_pass http://xmysql (remember, xmysql runs in it's docker container already on port 80).

Tests : setup on local machine

:arrow_heading_up:

docker-compose run test
  • Requires docker-compose to be installed on your machine.
