We can use "mysql" package to connect to MySQL database with Node.js. For this, first we need to install the mysql package using the 'npm i mysql'
command.
Afterwards, you can connect to the database as in the code block below and use SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE queries.
const mysql = require('mysql');
// Creating the database connection
const con = mysql.createConnection({
host: "localhost",
user: "username",
password: "password",
database: "database_name"
});
// Connecting to the database
con.connect(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("Connected to database!");
// SELECT query
con.query("SELECT * FROM tablo_adi", function (err, result, fields) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(result);
});
// INSERT query
var sql = "INSERT INTO tablo_adi (colomn1, colomn2) VALUES ('val1', 'val2')";
con.query(sql, function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("1 record added");
});
// UPDATE query
var sql = "UPDATE table_name SET colmn1 = 'val1' WHERE id = 2";
con.query(sql, function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(result.affectedRows + " record updated");
});
// DELETE query
var sql = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id = 3";
con.query(sql, function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(result.affectedRows + " record deleted");
});
});
