JugglingDB-MySQL

MySQL adapter for JugglingDB.

Usage

To use it you need jugglingdb@0.2.x.

1. Setup dependencies in package.json:

   {
     ...
     "dependencies": {
       "jugglingdb": "0.2.x",
       "jugglingdb-mysql": "latest"
     },
     ...
   }
   

2. Use:

       var Schema = require('jugglingdb').Schema;
       var schema = new Schema('mysql', {
           database: 'myapp_test',
           username: 'root'
       });
   

   You can optionally pass a few additional parameters supported by node-mysql, most particularly password and collation. Collation currently defaults to utf8mb4_general_ci. The collation value will also be used to derive the connection charset.

Using the dataType field/column option with MySQL

The jugglingdb MySQL adapter now supports using the dataType column/property attribute to specify what MySQL column type is used for many jugglingdb types.

The following type-dataType combinations are supported:

• Number

  *

  integer

  * tinyint * smallint * mediumint * int * bigint

  Use the limit option to alter the display width.

  Example: { count : { type: Number, dataType: 'smallInt' }}

  • floating point types

    * float * double

    Use the precision and scale options to specify custom precision. Default is (16,8).

    Example: { average : { type: Number, dataType: 'float', precision: 20, scale: 4 }}

  • fixed-point exact value types

    * decimal * numeric

    Use the precision and scale options to specify custom precision. Default is (9,2).

    These aren't likely to function as true fixed-point.

    Example: { stdDev : { type: Number, dataType: 'decimal', precision: 12, scale: 8 }}

• String / Schema.Text / Schema.JSON

  * varchar * char * text * mediumtext * tinytext * longtext

  Example: { userName : { type: String, dataType: 'char', limit: 24 }}

  Example: { biography : { type: String, dataType: 'longtext' }}

• Date

  * datetime * timestamp

  Example: { startTime : { type: Date, dataType: 'timestamp' }}

• Enum

  Enums are special. Create an Enum using Enum factory:

    var MOOD = schema.EnumFactory('glad', 'sad', 'mad');
    MOOD.SAD;    // 'sad'
    MOOD(2);     // 'sad'
    MOOD('SAD'); // 'sad'
    MOOD('sad'); // 'sad'

• { mood: { type: MOOD }}
• { choice: { type: schema.EnumFactory('yes', 'no', 'maybe'), null: false }}
