Example database schema:
create table authors (
id serial,
name varchar,
constraint author_pkey primary key(id)
);
create table books (
id serial,
title varchar,
author_id integer,
constraint book_pkey primary key(id),
constraint author foreign key (author_id) references authors(id)
);
create table reviews (
id serial,
book_id integer,
stars integer,
body varchar,
constraint review_pkey primary key(id),
constraint book foreign key (book_id) references book(id)
);
Pro Tip: Create a trigger to auto-populate author.books[]
.
Hacker Tip: Replicate to Redis so your cache is never stale.
Usage
oreo( opts, [cb] )
Instantiates the db
object and configures the database connection string(s).
-
opts {Object} options
-
driver {String}
pg
ormysql
- hosts {Array} list of possible hosts, each is checked to see if it is online and writable or read-only
- name {String} the database name
- user {String} the username
- password {String} the password
-
ssl {Boolean} (optional, default
false
) set totrue
to enable SSL connection -
debug {Function} (optional, default
false
) set toconsole.log
to see info about running queries -
memoize {Integer} (optional, default
false
) duration in milliseconds to cache rows in process memory. Setting this to150
is generally a no-brainer to prevent redundant queries. -
cache {Object} (optional, default
false
) object withget(key)
and/orset(key, val)
methods (i.e. redis) to cache full rows (indefinitely). Cached rows are recached aftersave()
/insert()
/update()
/delete()
. The Table functions fetch rows from the cache (and only fetch from sql the rows that are not cached). -
Promise {Object} (optional, default
global.Promise
) You may plug in your own Promise library that is compatible with native promises, i.e.Promise: require('bluebird')
. Then a promise will be returned if a callback is not specified. -
models {Object} (optional) each table may have a model "class" specified which will be used to instantiate rows from that table. For example,
models.my_table = class MyTable {}
-
schema {Object} (optional) initialize oreo faster by specifying the schema, for example
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(db))
-
driver {String}
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err)
const oreo = require('oreo')
const db = oreo({
driver: 'pg',
hosts: ['localhost:5432'],
name: 'database',
user: 'username',
pass: 'password',
//ssl: false,
//debug: false, //console.log
//memoize: 0,
//cache: null,
//Promise: global.Promise
//models: {},
//schema: {}
}, function (err) {
db.execute('select now() as now')
.then(rows => {
console.log('now:', rows[0].now)
})
})
Db
db.execute( sql, [data], [opts], [cb] )
Executes an arbitrary SQL query.
- sql {String|Array} the SQL statement
-
data {Object} (optional, unless
opts
is specified) parameterized query data -
opts {Object} (optional) query options
- write {Boolean} if truthy, forces query to run on master db, otherwise attempts to run on a read-only host
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, rows) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
db.execute([
'select now()', // arrays can be used for es5 multi-line convenience
'as now'
])
.then(rows => {
console.log(rows[0]) // 2014-06-24 21:03:08.652861-04
})
Parameterized query (SQL injection safe):
db.execute(`
select id
from authors
where name = :name
`, {
name: 'Jack Kerouac',
})
.then(rows => {
console.log(rows[0].id) // 1
})
.catch(err => {
})
db.executeWrite( sql, [data], [opts], [cb] )
Same as execute
but executes the query on a writable (primary) host.
db.onReady( cb )
Queues a function to be called when oreo's schema detection is complete (i.e. when oreo is initialized).
- cb {Function} callback()
const db = oreo(config, (err) => {
console.log('Ready!')
})
.onReady(() => {
console.log('onReady #1')
})
db.onReady(() => {
console.log('onReady #2')
})
/*
Output:
onReady #1
onReady #2
Ready!
*/
db.end( [cb] )
Closes the db connection(s).

title: 'On the Road',
author_id: 1
})
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 }
})
Insert multiple rows into related tables in a single transaction:
db.books.insert({
title: 'On the Road',
author: { // "author" is the foreign key name (1-to-1)
name: 'Jack Kerouac'
},
reviews: [ // shorthand for 'book:reviews' <foreignKeyName>:<tableName> (1-to-many)
{ stars: 5, body: 'Psychadelic!'},
{ stars: 4, body: 'Bizarre, unpredictable yet strangely alluring.'}
]
})
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 }
})
db.table.mget( primaryKeys, [opts], [cb] )
Gets many rows by primary key in the specified order. A null
value will be returned for each primary key that does not exist.
- primaryKeys {Array} the primary keys of the rows to get
- opts {Object} (optional) options
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, rows) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
const bookIds = [1]
db.books.mget(bookIds)
.then(books => {
console.log(books) // [ { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 } ]
})
db.table.save( data, [cb] )
Inserts or updates depending on whether the primary key exists in the db.
- data {Object} the data to save to the db
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
const formPOST = {
id: 1,
title: 'New Title'
}
db.books.save(formPOST)
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: New Title, author_id: 1 }
})
Row
row.delete( [cb] )
Deletes an existing row from the database.
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
book.delete()
.then(() => {
console.log(book) // {}
})
row.hydrate( propertyName, [cb] )
Hydrates the row(s) linked with the specified foreign key(s) and/or foreign table(s).
-
propertyName {String|Array} the name of the hydratable property to fetch and attach to this row. There are two types of hydratable property names:
- 1-to-1 foreign key constraint name
- 1-to-many foreign table name
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
db.books.get(1)
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 }
// hydrate a 1-to-1 linked row
book.hydrate('author')
.then(() => {
console.log(book.author) // { id: 1, name: Jack Kerouac }
})
// hydrate 1-to-many linked rows
book.hydrate('reviews')
.then(() => {
console.log(book.reviews) // [ { stars: 5, body: 'Psychadelic!' }, { stars: 4, body: 'Bizarre...' } ]
})
})
When hydrating a 1-to-1 row, the propertyName is the name of the foreign key constraint.
For example, a book has one author, so we have a table books
with a column author_id
which has a foreign key constraint named author
which links to author.id
.
// 1-to-1
book.hydrate('author')
.then(() => {
console.log(book.author) // { id: 1, name: Jack Kerouac }
})
When hydrating 1-to-many rows, it is recommended to specify the fully qualified hydratable propertyName formatted as foreignKeyName:tableName
. However, for convenience, if the foreign table has only one foreign key that references this table, you may omit foreignKeyName:
and simply use tableName
shorthand notation.
For example, a book has many reviews, so we have a table reviews
with a column book_id
which has a foreign key constraint named book
which links to book.id
.
// 1-to-many (fully qualified notation)
book.hydrate('book:reviews')
.then(() => {
console.log(book['book:reviews'])
// [ { stars: 5, body: 'Psychadelic!' }, { stars: 4, body: 'Bizarre...' } ]
})
// 1-to-many (shorthand notation)
book.hydrate('reviews')
.then(() => {
console.log(book.reviews)
// [ { stars: 5, body: 'Psychadelic!' }, { stars: 4, body: 'Bizarre...' } ]
})
Hydrate multiple properties in parallel:
book.hydrate(['author', 'reviews'])
.then(() => {
console.log(book)
// {
// id: 1,
// title: On the Road,
// author_id: 1,
// author: { id: 1, name: Jack Kerouac },
// reviews: [ { stars: 5, body: 'Psychadelic!' }, { stars: 4, body: 'Bizarre...' } ]
// }
})
row.save( [cb] )
Saves the modified property values to the database (and saves linked rows recursively).
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
db.books.get(1)
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 }
book.author_id = 2
book.save()
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 2 }
})
})
row.set( data )
Modifies multiple property values but does NOT save to the db.
- data {Object} the data to modify
db.books.get(1)
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 }
book.set({
title: 'New Title',
author_id: 2
})
book.save()
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: New Title, author_id: 2 }
})
})
row.update( data, [cb] )
Updates an existing row. A convenience method for set()
then save()
.
- data {Object} the data to save
- cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.
book.update({
title: 'New Title'
})
.then(book => {
console.log(book) // { id: 1, title: New Title, author_id: 1 }
})
