# Xmysql : One command to generate REST APIs for any MySql database
# Why this ?
< p align = "center" >
< img src = "./assets/rick-and-morty.gif" alt = "xmysql gif" / >
< / p >
Generating REST APIs for a MySql database which does not follow conventions of
frameworks such as rails, django, laravel etc is a small adventure that one like to avoid ..
Hence this.
# Setup and Usage
xmysql requires node >= 7.6.0
```
npm install -g xmysql
```
```
xmysql -h localhost -u mysqlUsername -p mysqlPassword -d databaseName
```
```
http://localhost:3000
```
< br >
That is it! Simple and minimalistic!
Happy hackery!

## Relational Tables
xmysql identifies foreign key relations automatically and provides GET api.
```
/api/blogs/103/comments
```
eg: blogs is parent table and comments is child table. API invocation will result in all comments for blog primary key 103.
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
## Support for composite primary keys
#### ___ (three underscores)
```
/api/payments/103___JM555205
```
*___* : If there are multiple primary keys - seperate them by three underscores as shown
## Pagination
#### _p & _size
_p indicates page and _size indicates size of response rows
By default 20 records and max of 100 are returned per GET request on a table.
```
/api/payments?_size=50
```
```
/api/payments?_p=2
```
```
/api/payments?_p=2& _size=50
```
When _size is greater than 100 - number of records defaults to 100 (i.e maximum)
When _size is less than or equal to 0 - number of records defaults to 20 (i.e minimum)
## Order by / Sorting
#### ASC
```
/api/payments?_sort=column1
```
eg: sorts ascending by column1
#### DESC
```
/api/payments?_sort=-column1
```
eg: sorts descending by column1
#### Multiple fields in sort
```
/api/payments?_sort=column1,-column2
```
eg: sorts ascending by column1 and descending by column2
## Column filtering / Fields
```
/api/payments?_fields=customerNumber,checkNumber
```
eg: gets only customerNumber and checkNumber in response of each record
```
/api/payments?_fields=-checkNumber
```
eg: gets all fields in table row but not checkNumber
## Row filtering / Where
#### Comparison operators
```
eq - '=' - (colName,eq,colValue)
ne - '!=' - (colName,ne,colValue)
gt - '>' - (colName,gt,colValue)
gte - '>=' - (colName,gte,colValue)
lt - '< ' - (colName,lt,colValue)
lte - '< =' - (colName,lte,colValue)
is - 'is' - (colName,is,true/false/null)
in - 'in' - (colName,in,val1,val2,val3,val4)
bw - 'between' - (colName,bw,val1,val2)
like - 'like' - (colName,like,~name) note: use ~ in place of %
nlike - 'not like' - (colName,nlike,~name) note: use ~ in place of %
```
#### Use of comparison operators
```
/api/payments?_where=(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or((amount,gt,200)~and(amount,lt,2000))
```
#### Logical operators
```
~or - 'or'
~and - 'and'
~xor - 'xor'
```
#### Use of logical operators
eg: simple logical expression
```
/api/payments?_where=(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or(checkNumber,eq,OM314933)
```
eg: complex logical expression
```
/api/payments?_where=((checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or(checkNumber,eq,OM314933))~and(amount,gt,100)
```
eg: logical expression with sorting(_sort), pagination(_p), column filtering (_fields)
```
/api/payments?_where=(amount,gte,1000)& _sort=-amount& p=2& _fields=customerNumber
```
eg: filter of rows using _where is available for relational route URLs too.
```
/api/offices/1/employees?_where=(jobTitle,eq,Sales%20Rep)
```
## FindOne
```
/api/tableName/findOne?_where=(id,eq,1)
```
Works similar to list but only returns top/one result. Used in conjunction with _where
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
## Count
```
/api/tableName/count
```
Returns number of rows in table
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
## Exists
```
/api/tableName/1/exists
```
Returns true or false depending on whether record exists
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
## Group By Having as query params
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
/api/offices?_groupby=country
```
eg: SELECT country,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country
```
/api/offices?_groupby=country& _having=(_count,gt,1)
```
eg: SELECT country,count(1) as _count FROM offices GROUP BY country having _count > 1
## Group By Having as API
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country
```
eg: SELECT country,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city
```
eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city& _having=(_count,gt,1)
```
eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) as _count FROM offices GROUP BY country,city having _count > 1
### Group By, Order By
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city& _sort=city
```
eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city& _sort=city,country
```
eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC, country ASC
```
/api/offices/groupby?_fields=country,city& _sort=city,-country
```
eg: SELECT country,city,count(*) FROM offices GROUP BY country,city ORDER BY city ASC, country DESC
## Aggregate functions
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
http://localhost:3000/api/payments/aggregate?_fields=amount
response body
[
{
"min_of_amount": 615.45,
"max_of_amount": 120166.58,
"avg_of_amount": 32431.645531,
"sum_of_amount": 8853839.23,
"stddev_of_amount": 20958.625377426568,
"variance_of_amount": 439263977.71130896
}
]
```
eg: retrieves all numeric aggregate of a column in a table
```
http://localhost:3000/api/orderDetails/aggregate?_fields=priceEach,quantityOrdered
response body
[
{
"min_of_priceEach": 26.55,
"max_of_priceEach": 214.3,
"avg_of_priceEach": 90.769499,
"sum_of_priceEach": 271945.42,
"stddev_of_priceEach": 36.576811252187795,

"avg_of_quantityOrdered": 35.219,
"sum_of_quantityOrdered": 105516,
"stddev_of_quantityOrdered": 9.832243813502942,
"variance_of_quantityOrdered": 96.67301840816688
}
]
```
eg: retrieves numeric aggregate can be done for multiple columns too
## Union of multiple group by statements
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
:fire::fire:**[ HOTNESS ALERT ]**
Group by multiple columns in one API call using _fields query params - comes really handy
```
http://localhost:3000/api/employees/ugroupby?_fields=jobTitle,reportsTo
response body
{
"jobTitle":[
{
"Sales Rep":17
},
{
"President":1
},
{
"Sale Manager (EMEA)":1
},
{
"Sales Manager (APAC)":1
},
{
"Sales Manager (NA)":1
},
{
"VP Marketing":1
},
{
"VP Sales":1
}
],
"reportsTo":[
{
"1002":2
},

"1056":4
},
{
"1088":3
},

},
]
}
```
## Chart
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
:fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire: ** [ HOTNESS ALERT ]**
Chart API returns distribution of a numeric column in a table
It comes in **SEVEN** powerful flavours
1. Chart : With min, max, step in query params :fire::fire:
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
This API returns the number of rows where amount is between (0,25000), (25001,50000) ...
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& min=0& max=131000& step=25000
Response
[
{
"amount": "0 to 25000",
"_count": 107
},
{
"amount": "25001 to 50000",
"_count": 124
},
{
"amount": "50001 to 75000",
"_count": 30
},
{
"amount": "75001 to 100000",
"_count": 7
},
{
"amount": "100001 to 125000",
"_count": 5
},
{
"amount": "125001 to 150000",
"_count": 0
}
]
```
2. Chart : With step array in params :fire::fire:
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
This API returns distribution between the step array specified
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& steparray=0,10000,20000,70000,140000
Response
[
{
"amount": "0 to 10000",
"_count": 42
},
{
"amount": "10001 to 20000",
"_count": 36
},
{
"amount": "20001 to 70000",
"_count": 183
},
{
"amount": "70001 to 140000",
"_count": 12
}
]
```
3. Chart : With step pairs in params :fire::fire:
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
This API returns distribution between each step pair
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& steppair=0,50000,40000,100000
Response
[
{"amount":"0 to 50000","_count":231},
{"amount":"40000 to 100000","_count":80}
]
```
4. Chart : with no params :fire::fire:
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
This API figures out even distribution of a numeric column in table and returns the data
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount
Response
[
{
"amount": "-9860 to 11100",
"_count": 45
},
{
"amount": "11101 to 32060",
"_count": 91
},
{
"amount": "32061 to 53020",
"_count": 109
},
{
"amount": "53021 to 73980",
"_count": 16
},
{
"amount": "73981 to 94940",
"_count": 7
},
{
"amount": "94941 to 115900",
"_count": 3
},
{
"amount": "115901 to 130650",
"_count": 2
}
]
```
5. Chart : range, min, max, step in query params :fire::fire:
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
This API returns the number of rows where amount is between (0,25000), (0,50000) ... (0,maxValue)
Number of records for amount is counted from min value to extended *Range* instead of incremental steps
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& min=0& max=131000& step=25000& range=1
Response
[
{
"amount": "0 to 25000",
"_count": 107
},
{
"amount": "0 to 50000",
"_count": 231
},
{
"amount": "0 to 75000",
"_count": 261
},
{
"amount": "0 to 100000",
"_count": 268
},
{
"amount": "0 to 125000",
"_count": 273
}
]
```
6. Range can be specified with step array like below
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& steparray=0,10000,20000,70000,140000& range=1
[
{
"amount": "0 to 10000",
"_count": 42
},
{
"amount": "0 to 20000",
"_count": 78
},
{
"amount": "0 to 70000",
"_count": 261
},
{
"amount": "0 to 140000",
"_count": 273
}
]
```
7. Range can be specified without any step params like below
```
/api/payments/chart?_fields=amount& range=1
[
{
"amount": "-9860 to 11100",
"_count": 45
},
{
"amount": "-9860 to 32060",
"_count": 136
},
...
]
```
Please Note:
_fields in Chart API can only take numeric column as its argument.
## Autochart
Identifies numeric columns in a table which are not any sort of key and applies chart API as before -
feels like magic when there are multiple numeric columns in table while hacking/prototyping and you invoke this API.
```
http://localhost:3000/api/payments/autochart
[
{
"column": "amount",
"chart": [
{
"amount": "-9860 to 11100",
"_count": 45
},
{
"amount": "11101 to 32060",
"_count": 91
},
{
"amount": "32061 to 53020",
"_count": 109
},
{
"amount": "53021 to 73980",
"_count": 16
},
{
"amount": "73981 to 94940",
"_count": 7
},
{
"amount": "94941 to 115900",
"_count": 3
},
{
"amount": "115901 to 130650",
"_count": 2
}
]
}
]
```
## XJOIN
### Xjoin query params and values:
```
_join : List of tableNames alternated by type of join to be made (_j, _ij,_ lj, _rj)
alias.tableName : TableName as alias
_j : Join [ _j => join, _ij => ij, _lj => left join , _rj => right join)
_onNumber : Number 'n' indicates condition to be applied for 'n'th join between (n-1) and 'n'th table in list
```
#### Simple example of two table join:
Sql join query:
```sql
SELECT pl.field1, pr.field2
FROM productlines as pl
JOIN products as pr
ON pl.productline = pr.productline
```
Equivalent xjoin query API:
```
/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products& _on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)& _fields=pl.field1,pr.field2
```
#### Multiple tables join
Sql join query:
```sql
SELECT pl.field1, pr.field2, ord.field3
FROM productlines as pl
JOIN products as pr
ON pl.productline = pr.productline
JOIN orderdetails as ord
ON pr.productcode = ord.productcode
```
Equivalent xjoin query API:
```
/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products,_j,ord.orderDetails& _on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)& _on2=(pr.productcode,eq,ord.productcode)& _fields=& _fields=pl.field1,pr.field2,ord.field3
```
**Explanation:**
> pl.productlines => productlines as pl
> _j => join
> pr.products => products as pl
> _on1 => join condition between productlines and products => (pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)
> _on2 => join condition between products and orderdetails => (pr.productcode,eq,ord.productcode)
Example to use : _fields, _where, _p, _size in query params
```
/api/xjoin?_join=pl.productlines,_j,pr.products& _on1=(pl.productline,eq,pr.productline)& _fields=pl.productline,pr.productName& _size=2& _where=(productName,like,1972~)
```
Response:
```
[{"pl_productline":"Classic Cars","pr_productName":"1972 Alfa Romeo GTA"}]
```
Please note :
Xjoin response has aliases for fields like below aliasTableName + '_' + columnName.
eg: pl.productline in _fields query params - returns as pl_productline in response.
## Run dynamic queries
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
Dynamic queries on a database can be run by POST method to URL localhost:3000/dynamic
This is enabled **ONLY when using local mysql server** i.e -h localhost or -h 127.0.0.1 option.
Post body takes two fields : query and params.
>query: SQL query or SQL prepared query (ones with ?? and ?)
>params : parameters for SQL prepared query
```
POST /dynamic
{
"query": "select * from ?? limit 1,20",
"params": ["customers"]
}
```
POST /dynamic URL can have any suffix to it - which can be helpful in prototyping
eg:
```
POST /dynamic/weeklyReport
```
```
POST /dynamic/user/update
```
## Upload single file
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
POST /upload
```
Do POST operation on /upload url with multiform 'field' assigned to local file to be uploaded
eg: curl --form file=@/Users/me/Desktop/a.png http://localhost:3000/upload
returns uploaded file name else 'upload failed'
(Note: POSTMAN has issues with file uploading hence examples with curl)
## Upload multiple files
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
```
POST /uploads
```
Do POST operation on /uploads url with multiform 'fields' assigned to local files to be uploaded
> Notice 's' near /api/upload**s** and file**s** in below example
eg: curl --form files=@/Users/me/Desktop/a.png --form files=@/Users/me/Desktop/b.png http://localhost:3000/uploads
returns uploaded file names as string
## Download file
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
http://localhost:3000/download?name=fileName
> For upload and download of files -> you can specify storage folder using -s option
> Upload and download apis are available only with local mysql server
## Health
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
http://localhost:3000/_health
```
{"process_uptime":3.858,"mysql_uptime":"2595"}
```
Shows up time of Xmysql process and mysql server
http://localhost:3000/_health?details=1
```
{"process_uptime":1.151,"mysql_uptime":"2798",
"os_total_memory":17179869184,
"os_free_memory":2516357120,
"os_load_average":[2.29931640625,2.1845703125,2.13818359375],

```
Provides more details on process.
Infact passing any query param gives detailed health output: example below
http://localhost:3000/_health?voila
```
{"process_uptime":107.793,"mysql_uptime":"2905","os_total_memory":17179869184,"os_free_memory":2573848576,"os_load_average":[2.052734375,2.12890625,2.11767578125],"v8_heap_statistics":{"total_heap_size":24735744,"total_heap_size_executable":5242880,"total_physical_size":23735016,"total_available_size":1475411128,"used_heap_size":18454968,"heap_size_limit":1501560832,"malloced_memory":8192,"peak_malloced_memory":11065664,"does_zap_garbage":0}}

# Docker
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#features )
Simply run with `docker run -p 3000:80 -d markuman/xmysql:0.4.2`
The best way for testing is to run mysql in a docker container too and create a docker network, so that `xmysql` can access the `mysql` container with a name from docker network.
1. Create network
* `docker network create mynet`
2. Start mysql with docker name `some-mysql` and bind to docker network `mynet`
* `docker run --name some-mysql -p 3306:3306 --net mynet -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d markuman/mysql`
3. run xmysql and set env variable for `some-mysql` from step 2
* `docker run -p 3000:80 -d -e DATABASE_HOST=some-mysql --net mynet markuman/xmysql`
You can also pass the environment variables to a file and use them as an option with docker like `docker run --env-file ./env.list -p 3000:80 --net mynet -d markuman/xmysql`
environment variables which can be used:
```
ENV DATABASE_HOST 127.0.0.1
ENV DATABASE_USER root
ENV DATABASE_PASSWORD password
ENV DATABASE_NAME sakila
```
Furthermore, the docker container of xmysql is listen on port 80. You can than request it just with `http://xmysql/api/` in other services running in the same docker network.
## Debugging xmysql in docker.
Given you've deployed your xmysql docker container like
```shell
docker run -d \
--network local_dev \
--name xmysql \
-p 3000:80 \
-e DATABASE_HOST=mysql_host \
-e DATABASE_USER=root \
-e DATABASE_PASSWORD=password \
-e DATABASE_NAME=sys \
markuman/xmysql:0.4.2
```
but the response is just
```json
["http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/tables","http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/xjoin"]
```
then obviously the connection to your mysql database failed.
1. attache to the xmysql image
* `docker exec -ti xmysql`
2. install mysql cli client
* `apk --update --no-cache add mysql-client`
3. try to access your mysql database
* `mysql-client -h mysql_host`
4. profit from the `mysql-client` error output and improve the environment variables for mysql
# Nginx Reverse Proxy Config with Docker
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#features )
This is a config example when you use nginx as reverse proxy
```
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
server_name 127.0.0.1;
listen 80 ;
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
}
}
}
```
e.g.
0. create a docker network `docker network create local_dev`
1. start a mysql server `docker run -d --name mysql -p 3306:3306 --network local_dev -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password mysql`
2. start xmysql `docker run -d --network local_dev --name xmyxql -e DATABASE_NAME=sys -e DATABASE_HOST=mysql -p 3000:80 markuman/xmysql:0.4.2`
3. start nginx on host system with the config above `sudo nginx -g 'daemon off;' -c /tmp/nginx.conf`
4. profit `curl http://127.0.0.1/api/host_summary_by_file_io_type/describe`
When you start your nginx proxy in a docker container too, use as `proxy_pass` the `--name` value of xmysql. E.g. `proxy_pass http://xmysql` (remember, xmysql runs in it's docker container already on port 80).
# Tests : setup on local machine
[:arrow_heading_up: ](#api-overview )
Login to mysql shell
```
mysql> create database classicmodels
mysql> use classicmodels
mysql> source path_to/xmysql/tests/sample.sql
```
```
$ mocha tests/*.js --exit
```
