db.onReady(examples)

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
- cache {Object} (optional, default false) object with get(key) and/or set(key, val) methods (i.e. redis) to cache full rows (indefinitely). Cached rows are recached after save()/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))
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).

Table

db.table.count( [opts], [cb] )

Counts the number of rows matching the specified criteria.

opts {Object} (optional) options
- where {String|Array|Object} the where clause criteria
- params {Object} key/value pairs to be substituted for :key patterns in the query
cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, rows) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.

db.authors.count({
  where: {
    name: 'Jack'
  }
})
.then(count => {
  console.log(count) // 1
})

db.table.find( [opts], [cb] )

Finds multiple rows.

opts {Object} (optional) options
- hydrate {String|Array} hydrates the specified foreign keys (see hydrate)
- params {Object} key/value pairs to be substituted for :key patterns in the query
cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, rows) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.

db.authors.find({
  where: [ "name like 'Jack%'" ],
  order: 'name asc',
  offset: 5,
  limit: 5,
  hydrate: ['books']
})
.then(authors => {
  console.log(authors)
  // [ { id: 1, name: Jack Kerouac, books: [ { id: 1, title: On the Road, author_id: 1 } ] } ]
})

The where option has several valid formats:

{String}

where: "field = :f1 and field2 > :f2",
params: {
  f1: 'abc',
  f2: 1
}

{Array}

where: [
  "field = :f1",
  "field2 > :f2"
],
params: {
  f1: 'abc',
  f2: 1
}

{Object}

where: {
  field: 'abc',
  field2: { $gt: 1 } // query operators are coming soon
}

db.table.findOne( opts, [cb] )

Finds exactly one row.

opts {Object} same options as find
cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.

db.authors.findOne({
  where: [ "name like 'Jack%'" ],
  order: 'name asc',
  offset: 5
})
.then(author => {
  console.log(author.id) // 1
})

db.table.get( primaryKey, [opts], [cb] )

Gets a row by primary key.

primaryKey {String|Number|Object} the primary key of the row to get

opts {Object} (optional) options
- hydrate {String|Array} hydrates the specified foreign keys (see hydrate)
cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.

const primaryKey = 1 // const primaryKey = { id: 1 } // this also works
db.authors.get(primaryKey)
.then(author => {
  console.log(author) // { id: 1, name: Jack Kerouak }
})

Multi-column (composite) primary key:

const primaryKey = {
  company: 'Cogswell Cogs',
  part_no: 'A-12345'
}
db.parts.get(primaryKey)
.then(part => {
  console.log(part) // { company: Cogswell Cogs, part_no: A-12345, price: 9.99, in_stock: true }
})

db.table.insert( data, [cb] )

Inserts a new row.

data {Object} the data to insert into the db
cb {Function} (optional) callback(err, row) If cb is not provided, a Promise is returned.

db.books.insert({
  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
- hydrate {String|Array} hydrates the specified foreign keys (see hydrate)
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 }
})
