## loopback-connector-mysql
|
|
|
|
`loopback-connector-mysql` is the MySQL connector module for [loopback-datasource-juggler](https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-datasource-juggler/).
|
|
|
|
For complete documentation, see [StrongLoop Documentation | MySQL Connector](http://docs.strongloop.com/display/LB/MySQL+connector).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
````sh
|
|
npm install loopback-connector-mysql --save
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
## Basic use
|
|
|
|
To use it you need `loopback-datasource-juggler`.
|
|
|
|
1. Setup dependencies in `package.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"loopback-datasource-juggler": "latest",
|
|
"loopback-connector-mysql": "latest"
|
|
},
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Use:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
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`](https://github.com/felixge/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.
|
|
|
|
1. Ask a core developer for instructions on how to set up test server credentials on your machine
|
|
2. `npm test`
