#node-mysql-wrap

A lightweight wrapper for the node-mysql driver. Providing, select, insert, update, delete, row count, and support for promises.

npm install mysql-wrap

##Instantiation

//create a node-mysql connection
var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection =  mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'your-host-name',
    user: 'your-user',
    password: 'your-password',
    database: 'your-database-name'
});

//and pass it into the node-mysql-wrap constructor
var createMySQLWrap = require('mysql-wrap');
var sql = createMySQLWrap(connection);

##Methods

In general node-mysql-wrap exposes the same interface as node-mysql. All methods take callbacks with the same function (err, res) {} signature as node-mysql. In addition all methods also return q promises.

In the following examples, parameters marked with an asterik (*) character are optional.

###query(sqlStatement, *values, *callback)

sql.query('SELECT name FROM fruit WHERE color = "yellow"')
.then(function (res) {
    console.log(res);
    //example output: [{ name: "banana" }, { name: "lemon" }]
});

query may take a configuration object in place of the sqlStatement parameter. this object allows for node-mysql's nested table join api, as well as pagination.

sql.query({
	sql: 'SELECT * FROM fruitBasket LEFT JOIN fruit ON fruit.basketID = fruitBasket.id',
	nestTables: true,
	paginate: {
		page: 3,
		resultsPerPage: 15
	}
});

###one(sqlStatement, *values, *callback) Works the same as sql.query except it only returns a single row instead of an array of rows. Adds a "LIMIT 1" clause if a LIMIT clause is not allready present in the sqlStatement.

###select(table, *whereEqualsObject, *callback)

// equivalent to sql.query('SELECT * FROM fruit WHERE color = "yellow" AND isRipe = "true"')
sql.select('fruit', { color: 'yellow', isRipe: true })

###selectOne(table, *whereEqualsObject, *callback) Same as sql.select except selectOne returns a single row instead of an array of rows.

select and selectOne may take a configuration object in place of the table parameter. The configuration object add pagination and/or restrict which fields are selected.

sql.select({
	table: 'fruit',
	fields: ['color'],
	paginate: {
		page: 2,
		resultsPerPage: 15
	}
});

###insert(table, insertObject, *callback)

sql.insert('fruit', { name: 'plum', color: 'purple' });

You can also pass sql.insert an array of insertObjects to insert multiple rows in a query

sql.insert('fruit', [
    { name: 'plum', color: 'purple'},
    { name: 'grape', color: 'green' }
])

###update(table, setValues, *whereEqualsObject, *callback)

sql.update('fruit', { isRipe: false }, { name: 'grape' })

###delete(table, *whereEqualsObject, *callback)

sql.delete('fruit', { isRipe: false })

##Errors Errors are the first parameter of a methods callback (same as in node-mysql), or using promises they are passed to the catch method

sql.insert('fruit', { name: 'banana' })
.catch(function (err) {

});

Error objects are wrapped in a custom Error object. A reference to this object can be gotten at sql.Error

##Transactions The node-mysql transaction methods beginTransaction, commit, and rollback are available, and return promises as well as take callbacks.

sql.beginTransaction()
.then(function () {
	return sql.insert(...)

})
.then(function () {
	sql.commit();
})
.catch(function (err) {
	return sql.rollback(function (err) {
		throw err;
	});
});

##Other methods.

###end, destroy, release, changeUser same as in node-mysql. end and changeUser return a promise as well as taking a callback.
