SQLink is a Node.js library that turns MySQL tables into RESTful APIs with procedure execution and full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) support. With SQLink, you can easily expose your MySQL tables and stored procedures as APIs, allowing seamless interaction with your database through HTTP requests.

Installation

Before using SQLink, ensure that you have npm installed on your machine. You can install SQLink globally using the following commands:

• For Linux/MacOS:

  sudo npm install -g sqlink

• For Windows:

  npm install -g sqlink

Getting Started

Before querying data from MySQL, you need to configure SQLink. To do this, run the following command:

sqlink run

After running this command, you will be prompted in the console to enter your MySQL credentials.

Important: Configuration is required only when you run the program for the first time or if the configuration file has been deleted.

Once you enter the MySQL and Server configuration, you can re-run sqlink run command again and start querying the data.

Usage

Querieing Tables

SQLink allows you to interact with your MySQL tables using RESTful endpoints.

Base URL:

https://localhost:3001/table/{tableName}/{mode}

• tableName: The name of the MySQL table you want to query.
• mode: The operation you want to perform. It can be one of the following: create, read, update, delete.

Create

Use this method to insert data into your MySQL table.

• URL:

  https://localhost:3001/table/{tableName}/create
  

• Method: POST
• Payload:

  {
      "column1": "value1",
      "column2": "value2"
  }

• Response:
  • 200 OK if inserted successfully.

Read

Use this method to retrieve data from your MySQL table.

• URL:

  https://localhost:3001/table/{tableName}/read
  

• Method: GET
• Response:
  • 200 OK if queried successfully.

Update

Use this method to update data in your MySQL table.

• URL:

  https://localhost:3001/table/{tableName}/update({updateKey},{updateValue})
  

• Method: PUT
• Payload:

  {
      "column1": "value1_updated",
      "column2": "value2_updated"
  }

• Response:
  • 200 OK if updated successfully.

Delete

Use this method to delete a record from your MySQL table.

• URL:

  https://localhost:3001/table/{tableName}/delete({deleteKey},{deleteValue})
  

• Method: DELETE
• Payload:

  {
     // Payload is not considered even if sent from the client
  }

• Response:
  • 200 OK if deleted successfully.

Executing Procedures

SQLink also supports executing stored procedures through API calls.

Base URL:

https://localhost:3001/procedure/{procedureName}

• Stored Procedures: A stored procedure in SQL is a precompiled collection of SQL statements stored in the database, which can be executed as a single unit to perform a specific task, like data manipulation or business logic.

Example

• URL:

  https://localhost:3001/procedure/topfiveusers()
  

  Or with arguments:

  https://localhost:3001/procedure/topfiveusers('MALE')
  

• Method: GET
• Response:
  • 200 OK if executed successfully.
