MySQL is one of the most common and best RDBMS in terms of web applications. It is used in many large-scale websites such as Google and Facebook.
egg-mysql is provided to access both the MySQL databases and MySQL-based online database service.
Install egg-mysql:
$ npm i --save egg-mysql
Enable the Plugin:
// config/plugin.js
exports.mysql = {
enable: true,
package: 'egg-mysql',
};
Configure database information in config/config.${env}.js
Configuration to accesss single MySQL instance as shown below:
// config/config.${env}.js
exports.mysql = {
// single instance database configuration
client: {
host: 'mysql.com',
port: '3306',
user: 'test_user',
password: 'test_password',
database: 'test',
},
// load into app, default true
app: true,
// load into agent, default false
agent: false,
};
Use:
await app.mysql.query(sql, values); // single instance can be accessed through app.mysql
Configuration to accesss multiple MySQL instances as below:
exports.mysql = {
clients: {
// clientId, obtain the client instances using the app.mysql.get('clientId')
db1: {
host: 'mysql.com',
port: '3306',
user: 'test_user',
password: 'test_password',
database: 'test',
},
db2: {
host: 'mysql2.com',
port: '3307',
user: 'test_user',
password: 'test_password',
database: 'test',
},
// ...
},
// default configuration of all databases
default: {
},
// load into app, default true
app: true,
// load into agent, default false
agent: false,
};
Use:
const client1 = app.mysql.get('db1');
await client1.query(sql, values);
const client2 = app.mysql.get('db2');
await client2.query(sql, values);
Pre-declaration of configuration might not needed in the configuration file. Obtaining the actual parameters dynamically from the configuration center then initialize an instance instead.
// {app_root}/app.js
module.exports = function(app) {
app.beforeStart(async () {
// obtain the MySQL configuration from the configuration center
// { host: 'mysql.com', port: '3306', user: 'test_user', password: 'test_password', database: 'test' }
const mysqlConfig = await app.configCenter.fetch('mysql');
app.database = app.mysql.createInstance(mysqlConfig);
});
};
Connecting to MySQL is a data processing layer in the Web layer. So it is strongly recommended that keeping the code in the Service layer.
An example of connecting to MySQL as follows.
Details of Service layer, refer to service
// app/service/user.js
module.exports = app => {
return class User extends app.Service {
* find(uid) {
// assume we have the user id then trying to get the user details from database
const user = await app.mysql.get('users', { id: 11 });
return { user };
}
}
};
After that, obtaining the data from service layer using the controller
// app/controller/user.js
exports.info = async (ctx) {
const userId = ctx.params.id;
const user = await ctx.service.user.find(userId);
ctx.body = user;
};
Following statments default under app/service
if not specifed
INSERT method to perform the INSERT INTO query
// INSERT
const result = await this.app.mysql.insert('posts', { title: 'Hello World' }); //insert a record title 'Hello World' to 'posts' table
=> INSERT INTO `posts`(`title`) VALUES('Hello World');
console.log(result);
=>
{
fieldCount: 0,
affectedRows: 1,
insertId: 3710,
serverStatus: 2,
warningCount: 2,
message: '',
protocol41: true,
changedRows: 0
}
// check if insertion is success or failure
const insertSuccess = result.affectedRows === 1;
Use get
or select
to select one or multiple records. select
method support query criteria and result customization
- get one record
const post = await this.app.mysql.get('posts', { id: 12 });
=> SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `id` = 12 LIMIT 0, 1;
- query all from the table
const results = await this.app.mysql.select('posts');
=> SELECT * FROM `posts`;
- query criteria and result customization
const results = await this.app.mysql.select('posts', { // search posts table
where: { status: 'draft', author: ['author1', 'author2'] }, // WHERE criteria
columns: ['author', 'title'], // get the value of certain columns
orders: [['created_at','desc'], ['id','desc']], // sort order
limit: 10, // limit the return rows
offset: 0, // data offset
});
=> SELECT `author`, `title` FROM `posts`
WHERE `status` = 'draft' AND `author` IN('author1','author2')
ORDER BY `created_at` DESC, `id` DESC LIMIT 0, 10;
UPDATE operation to update the records of databases
// modify data and search by primary key ID, and refresh
const row = {
id: 123,
name: 'fengmk2',
otherField: 'other field value', // any other fields u want to update
modifiedAt: this.app.mysql.literals.now, // `now()` on db server
};
const result = await this.app.mysql.update('posts', row); // update records in 'posts'
=> UPDATE `posts` SET `name` = 'fengmk2', `modifiedAt` = NOW() WHERE id = 123 ;
// check if update is success or failure
const updateSuccess = result.affectedRows === 1;
DELETE operation to delete the records of databases
const result = await this.app.mysql.delete('posts', {
author: 'fengmk2',
});
=> DELETE FROM `posts` WHERE `author` = 'fengmk2';
Plugin supports splicing and execute SQL statment directly. It can use query
to execute a valid SQL statement
Note!! Strongly do not recommend developers splicing SQL statement, it is easier to cause SQL injection!!
Use the mysql.escape
method if you have to splice SQL statement
Refer to preventing-sql-injection-in-node-js
const postId = 1;
const results = await this.app.mysql.query('update posts set hits = (hits + ?) where id = ?', [1, postId]);
=> update posts set hits = (hits + 1) where id = 1;
Transaction is mainly used to deal with large data of high complexity. For example, in a personnel management system, deleting a person which need to delete the basic information of the staff, but also need to delete the related information of staff, such as mailboxes, articles and so on. It is easier to use transaction to run a set of operations.
A transaction is a set of continuous database operations which performed as a single unit of work. Each individual operation within the group is successful and the transaction succeeds. If one part of the transaction fails, then the entire transaction fails.
In general, transaction must be ACID (atomic, consistent, isolated and durable).
- Atomicity requires that each transaction be "all or nothing": if one part of the transaction fails, then the entire transaction fails, and the database state is left unchanged.
- The consistency property ensures that any transaction will bring the database from one valid state to another.
- The isolation property ensures that the concurrent execution of transactions results in a system state that would be obtained if transactions were executed sequentially
- The durability property ensures that once a transaction has been committed, it will remain so.
Therefore, for a transaction, must be accompanied by beginTransaction, commit or rollback, respectively, beginning of the transaction, success and failure to roll back.
egg-mysql provides two types of transactions
- Advantage:
beginTransaction
,commit
orrollback
can be completely under control by developer - Disadvantage: more handwritten code, Forgot catching error or cleanup will lead to serious bug.
const conn = await app.mysql.beginTransaction(); // initialize the transaction
try {
await conn.insert(table, row1); // first step
await conn.update(table, row2); // second step
await conn.commit(); // commit the transaction
} catch (err) {
// error, rollback
await conn.rollback(); // rollback after catching the exception!!
throw err;
}
- API:
beginTransactionScope(scope, ctx)
scope
: A generatorFunction which will execute all sqls of this transaction.ctx
: The context object of current request, it will ensures that even in the case of a nested transaction, there is only one active transaction in a request at the same time.
- Advantage: easy to use, as if there is no transaction in your code.
- Disadvantage: all transaction will be successful or failed, cannot control precisely
const result = await app.mysql.beginTransactionScope(async conn => {
// don't commit or rollback by yourself
await conn.insert(table, row1);
await conn.update(table, row2);
return { success: true };
}, ctx); // ctx is the context of current request, accessed by `this.ctx` within in service file.
// if error throw on scope, will auto rollback
Use Literal
if need to call literals or functions in MySQL
NOW()
:The database system time, obtained byapp.mysql.literals.now
await this.app.mysql.insert(table, {
create_time: this.app.mysql.literals.now,
});
=> INSERT INTO `$table`(`create_time`) VALUES(NOW())
The following demo showe how to call CONCAT(s1, ...sn)
funtion in mysql to do string splicing.
const Literal = this.app.mysql.literals.Literal;
const first = 'James';
const last = 'Bond';
await this.app.mysql.insert(table, {
id: 123,
fullname: new Literal(`CONCAT("${first}", "${last}"`),
});
=> INSERT INTO `$table`(`id`, `fullname`) VALUES(123, CONCAT("James", "Bond"))
