**Non-blocking MariaDB and MySQL client for Node.js.**

MariaDB and MySQL client, 100% JavaScript, with TypeScript definition, with the Promise API, distributed under the LGPL license version 2.1 or later (LGPL-2.1-or-later)

## Documentation

See [promise documentation](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-nodejs/blob/master/documentation/promise-api.md) for detailed API.

[Callback documentation](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-nodejs/blob/master/documentation/callback-api.md) describe the callback wrapper for compatibility with existing drivers.

See [dedicated part](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-nodejs/blob/master/documentation/promise-api.md#migrating-from-2x-or-mysqlmysql2-to-3x) for migration from mysql/mysql2 or from 2.x version.


## Why a New Client?

While there are existing MySQL clients that work with MariaDB, (such as the [`mysql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql) and [`mysql2`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2) clients), the MariaDB Node.js Connector offers new functionality, like [Insert Streaming](#insert-streaming), [Pipelining](#pipelining), [ed25519 plugin authentication](https://mariadb.org/history-of-mysql-mariadb-authentication-protocols/) while making no compromises on performance.

Connector is production grade quality, with multiple features:
* superfast batching
* fast pool
* easy debugging, trace pointing to code line on error
* allows data streaming without high memory consumption
* pipelining
* metadata skipping (for MariaDB server only)
* sql file import
* ...

see some of those features:

### Insert Streaming

Using a Readable stream in your application, you can stream `INSERT` statements to MariaDB through the Connector.

```javascript

https.get('https://someContent', readableStream => {
//readableStream implement Readable, driver will stream data to database
connection.query("INSERT INTO myTable VALUE (?)", [readableStream]);
});
```

### Pipelining

With Pipelining, the Connector sends commands without waiting for server results, preserving order. For instance, consider the use of executing two `INSERT` statements.


pipelining example

The Connector doesn't wait for query results before sending the next `INSERT` statement. Instead, it sends queries one after the other, avoiding much of the network latency.

For more information, see the [Pipelining](/documentation/pipelining.md) documentation.

### Bulk insert

Some use cases require a large amount of data to be inserted into a database table. By using batch processing, these queries can be sent to the database in one call, thus improving performance.

For more information, see the [Batch](/documentation/batch.md) documentation.

## Benchmarks

MariaDB provides benchmarks comparing the Connector with other Node.js MariaDB/MySQL clients, including:

* [`promise-mysql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/promise-mysql) version 5.2.0 + [`mysql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql) version 2.18.1
* [`mysql2`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2) version 3.1.0

See the [Benchmarks](./documentation/benchmarks.md) page for multiple results.

## Quick Start

The MariaDB Connector is available through the Node.js repositories. You can install it using npm :

```
$ npm install mariadb
```
example:
```js
const mariadb = require('mariadb');
const pool = mariadb.createPool({host: process.env.DB_HOST, user: process.env.DB_USER, connectionLimit: 5});

async function asyncFunction() {
let conn;
try {

conn = await pool.getConnection();
const rows = await conn.query("SELECT 1 as val");
// rows: [ {val: 1}, meta: ... ]

const res = await conn.query("INSERT INTO myTable value (?, ?)", [1, "mariadb"]);
// res: { affectedRows: 1, insertId: 1, warningStatus: 0 }

} finally {
if (conn) conn.release(); //release to pool
}
}
```
