Carl Fürstenberg 1ee79768f2 Add special handling of zero date/time entries Per MySQL docs (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/date-and-time-types.html): "MySQL permits you to store a “zero” value of '0000-00-00' as a “dummy date.” This is in some cases more convenient than using NULL values, and uses less data and index space. To disallow '0000-00-00', enable the NO_ZERO_DATE mode. “Zero” date or time values used through Connector/ODBC are converted automatically to NULL because ODBC cannot handle such values." As we are not using Connector/ODBC we need to handle this ourself.		2016-07-29 14:59:24 +02:00

README.md

loopback-connector-mysql

loopback-connector-mysql is the MySQL connector module for loopback-datasource-juggler.

For complete documentation, see StrongLoop Documentation | MySQL Connector.

Installation

npm install loopback-connector-mysql --save

Basic use

To use it you need loopback-datasource-juggler.

Setup dependencies in package.json:

{
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    "loopback-datasource-juggler": "latest",
    "loopback-connector-mysql": "latest"
  },
  ...
}

Use:

    var DataSource = require('loopback-datasource-juggler').DataSource;
    var dataSource = new DataSource('mysql', {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 3306,
        database: 'mydb',
        username: 'myuser',
        password: 'mypass'
    });

You can optionally pass a few additional parameters supported by node-mysql, most particularly password and collation. Collation currently defaults to utf8_general_ci. The collation value will also be used to derive the connection charset.

Running Tests

The tests in this repository are mainly integration tests, meaning you will need to run them using our preconfigured test server.
