**Non-blocking MariaDB and MySQL client for Node.js.**
MariaDB and MySQL client, 100% JavaScript, with TypeScript definition, with the Promise API.
version before 2.4 is compatible with Node.js 6+
version after 2.4 is compatible with Node.js 10+
## 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.
### 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.

</p>
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 popular Node.js MySQL clients, including:
* [`promise-mysql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/promise-mysql) version 4.0.4 + [`mysql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql) version 2.17.1
* [`mysql2`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2) version 1.6.5
```
promise-mysql : 646 ops/sec ±2.20%
mysql2 : 746 ops/sec ±2.35%
mariadb : 961 ops/sec ±2.82%
```
query: **SELECT < all mysql fields >, 1 FROM mysql.user LIMIT 1**

## Quick Start
The MariaDB Connector is available through the Node.js repositories. You can install it using npm :
```
$ npm install mariadb
```
Using ECMAScript < 2017:
```js
const mariadb = require('mariadb');
const pool = mariadb.createPool({host: process.env.DB_HOST, user: process.env.DB_USER, connectionLimit: 5});
pool.getConnection()
.then(conn => {
conn.query("SELECT 1 as val")
.then(rows => { // rows: [ {val: 1}, meta: ... ]
return conn.query("INSERT INTO myTable value (?, ?)", [1, "mariadb"]);
})
.then(res => { // res: { affectedRows: 1, insertId: 1, warningStatus: 0 }
conn.release(); // release to pool
})
.catch(err => {
conn.release(); // release to pool
})
}).catch(err => {
//not connected
});
```
Using ECMAScript 2017:
```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 }
} catch (err) {
throw err;
} finally {
if (conn) conn.release(); //release to pool
}
}
```
