Database integration in Nodejs

Enabling database connectivity in Express applications is a straightforward process that involves integrating a suitable Node.js driver for the chosen database into your application. This guide provides a concise overview of how to incorporate and utilize some of the widely-used Node.js modules for various database systems within your Express application:


Cassandra

Module: cassandra-driver

Installation

$ npm install cassandra-driver

Example

const cassandra = require('cassandra-driver')
const client = new cassandra.Client({ contactPoints: ['localhost'] })

client.execute('select key from system.local', (err, result) => {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(result.rows[0])
})

Couchbase

Module: couchnode

Installation

$ npm install couchbase

Example

const couchbase = require('couchbase')
const bucket = (new couchbase.Cluster('http://localhost:8091')).openBucket('bucketName')

// add a document to a bucket
bucket.insert('document-key', { name: 'Matt', shoeSize: 13 }, (err, result) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
  } else {
    console.log(result)
  }
})

// get all documents with shoe size 13
const n1ql = 'SELECT d.* FROM `bucketName` d WHERE shoeSize = $1'
const query = N1qlQuery.fromString(n1ql)
bucket.query(query, [13], (err, result) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
  } else {
    console.log(result)
  }
})

CouchDB

Module: nano

Installation

$ npm install nano

Example

const nano = require('nano')('http://localhost:5984')
nano.db.create('books')
const books = nano.db.use('books')

// Insert a book document in the books database
books.insert({ name: 'The Art of war' }, null, (err, body) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
  } else {
    console.log(body)
  }
})

// Get a list of all books
books.list((err, body) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
  } else {
    console.log(body.rows)
  }
})

LevelDB

Module: levelup

Installation

$ npm install level levelup leveldown

Example

const levelup = require('levelup')
const db = levelup('./mydb')

db.put('name', 'LevelUP', (err) => {
  if (err) return console.log('Ooops!', err)

  db.get('name', (err, value) => {
    if (err) return console.log('Ooops!', err)

    console.log(`name=${value}`)
  })
})

MySQL

Module: mysql

Installation

$ npm install mysql

Example

const mysql = require('mysql')
const connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'dbuser',
  password: 's3kreee7',
  database: 'my_db'
})

connection.connect()

connection.query('SELECT 1 + 1 AS solution', (err, rows, fields) => {
  if (err) throw err

  console.log('The solution is: ', rows[0].solution)
})

connection.end()

MongoDB

Module: mongodb

Installation

$ npm install mongodb

Example (v2.*)

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/animals', (err, db) => {
  if (err) throw err

  db.collection('mammals').find().toArray((err, result) => {
    if (err) throw err

    console.log(result)
  })
})

Example (v3.*)

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/animals', (err, client) => {
  if (err) throw err

  const db = client.db('animals')

  db.collection('mammals').find().toArray((err, result) => {
    if (err) throw err

    console.log(result)
  })
})

If you want an object model driver for MongoDB, look at Mongoose.

const driver = neo4j.driver('neo4j://localhost:7687', neo4j.auth.basic('neo4j', 'letmein'))

const session = driver.session()

session.readTransaction((tx) => {
  return tx.run('MATCH (n) RETURN count(n) AS count')
    .then((res) => {
      console.log(res.records[0].get('count'))
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error)
    })
})
