Package Exports

loopback-connector-ibmi

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (loopback-connector-ibmi) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Work in progress

Lots of work to do.

I just adapted the driver to Node4 and add "WITH NONE" to each create/update to avoid commit problems. This should be a feature. I also disabled some features (discovery and transaction) to make it works.

#loopback-connector-ibm

The loopback-connector-ibmi module is the LoopBack connector for DB2 for IBM i based on the project https://github.com/pierrickrouxel/loopback-connector-db2i

The LoopBack IBMi connector supports:

All CRUD operations.
Queries with fields, limit, order, skip and where filters.
Native Connection.

Installation

@TO-Do: Add and npm package.

The --save option adds the dependency to the application's package.json file.

Configuration

Use the data source generator (slc loopback:datasource) to add the DB2 data source to your application. The entry in the application's server/datasources.json will look something like this:

"mydb": {
  "name": "mydb",
  "connector": "ibmi"
}

Edit server/datasources.json to add other supported properties as required:

"mydb": {
  "name": "mydb",
  "connector": "ibmi",
  "username": <username>,
  "password": <password>,
  "database": <database name>,
  "hostname": <db2 server hostname>,
  "port":     <port number>
}

The following table describes the connector properties.

Property	Type	Description
database	String	Database name
schema	String	Specifies the default schema name that is used to qualify unqualified database objects in dynamically prepared SQL statements. The value of this property sets the value in the CURRENT SCHEMA special register on the database server. The schema name is case-sensitive, and must be specified in uppercase characters
username	String	DB2 Username
password	String	DB2 password associated with the username above
hostname	String	DB2 server hostname or IP address
port	String	DB2 server TCP port number
useLimitOffset	Boolean	LIMIT and OFFSET must be configured on the DB2 server before use (compatibility mode)

Alternatively, you can create and configure the data source in JavaScript code. For example:

var DataSource = require('loopback-datasource-juggler').DataSource;
var DB2 = require('loopback-connector-db2');

var config = {
  username: process.env.DB2_USERNAME,
  password: process.env.DB2_PASSWORD,
  hostname: process.env.DB2_HOSTNAME,
  port: 50000,
  database: 'SQLDB',
};

var db = new DataSource(DB2, config);

var User = db.define('User', {
  name: { type: String },
  email: { type: String },
});

db.autoupdate('User', function(err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
    return;
  }

  User.create({
    name: 'Tony',
    email: 'tony@t.com',
  }, function(err, user) {
    console.log(err, user);
  });

  User.find({ where: { name: 'Tony' }}, function(err, users) {
    console.log(err, users);
  });

  User.destroyAll(function() {
    console.log('example complete');
  });
});
