Getting Started With the Node.js Connector

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

The MariaDB Node.js Connector is available through the Node.js repositories. You can install it using npm:

$ npm install mariadb

Using ECMAScript, prior to 2017:

const mariadb = require('mariadb');
const pool = mariadb.createPool({
     host: 'mydb.com', 
     user:'myUser', 
     password: 'myPassword',
     connectionLimit: 5
});
pool.getConnection()
    .then(conn => {
    
      conn.query("SELECT 1 as val")
        .then((rows) => {
          console.log(rows); //[ {val: 1}, meta: ... ]
          //Table must have been created before 
          // " CREATE TABLE myTable (id int, val varchar(255)) "
          return conn.query("INSERT INTO myTable value (?, ?)", [1, "mariadb"]);
        })
        .then((res) => {
          console.log(res); // { affectedRows: 1, insertId: 1, warningStatus: 0 }
          conn.end();
        })
        .catch(err => {
          //handle error
          console.log(err); 
          conn.end();
        })
        
    }).catch(err => {
      //not connected
    });

Using ECMAScript 2017:

const mariadb = require('mariadb');
const pool = mariadb.createPool({
     host: 'mydb.com', 
     user:'myUser', 
     password: 'myPassword',
     connectionLimit: 5
});
async function asyncFunction() {
  let conn;
  try {
	conn = await pool.getConnection();
	const rows = await conn.query("SELECT 1 as val");
	console.log(rows); //[ {val: 1}, meta: ... ]
	const res = await conn.query("INSERT INTO myTable value (?, ?)", [1, "mariadb"]);
	console.log(res); // { affectedRows: 1, insertId: 1, warningStatus: 0 }

  } catch (err) {
	throw err;
  } finally {
	if (conn) return conn.end();
  }
}

The MariaDB Connector can use different APIs on the back-end: Promise and Callback. The default API is Promise. The callback API is provided for compatibility with the mysql and mysql2 APIs.
