And then you need to install one of:

  • pg
  • sqlite3
  • mysql
  • mysql2
  • mariasql
  • strong-oracle
  • oracle
  • mssql

Quick Start

This example shows how to use js-data-sql with MySQL:

npm install --save js-data js-data-sql mysql

Here's a small sample app:

import express from 'express';
import store from './store';

const app = express();

app.route('/posts')
  .post('/', async function (req, res) {
    res.send(await store.create('post', req.body));
  })
  .get('/:id', async function (req, res) {
    res.send(await store.find('post', req.params.id));
	})
	.put('/:id', async function (req, res) {
    res.send(await store.update('post', req.params.id, req.body));
  })
  .delete('/:id', async function (req, res) {
    res.send(await store.destroy('post', req.params.id));
  })

app.listen(3000, function () {
  console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!');
});

import { SqlAdapter } from 'js-data-sql';

// Create an instance of SqlAdapter
export default const adapter = new SqlAdapter({
  knexOpts: {
    client: 'mysql'
  }
});

// Use Container instead of DataStore on the server
import { Container } from 'js-data';
import adapter from './adapter';

// Create a store to hold your Mappers
export default const store = new Container();

// Mappers in "store" will use the Sql adapter by default
store.registerAdapter('sql', adapter, { 'default': true });

store.defineMapper('post');

Configuring the adapter

More configuration details available in the API docs:

SqlAdapter class 

import { Container } from 'js-data';
import { SqlAdapter } from 'js-data-sql';
  
const store = new Container();

const sqlAdapter = new SqlAdapter({
  knexOpts: {
    client: 'mysql',
    connection: {
      host: 'localhost',
      user: 'test',
      password: '123456',
      database: 'foo',
      port: '3306'
    }
  }
});

store.registerAdapter('sql', sqlAdapter, { 'default': true });

for connecting to another database see knexjs config options
