Transparent, Schemaless SQL Generation

Package Exports

  • sql-bricks

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 (sql-bricks) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Comparison with popular SQL-generation libraries:

library lines files schema language other notes
Knex 3500 30 schema javascript transactions, migrations, promises, connection pooling
Squel 1000 3 schemaless coffeescript
node-sql 2600 59 schema javascript

Use

SQLBricks' only dependency is Underscore.js.

In the browser:

var select = SqlBricks.select;

select().from('person').where({last_name: 'Rubble'});
// SELECT * FROM person WHERE last_name = 'Rubble'

In node:

var select = require('sql-bricks').select;

select().from('person').where({last_name: 'Rubble'});
// SELECT * FROM person WHERE last_name = 'Rubble'

Examples

The SQLBricks API is comprehensive, supporting all of SQL-92 for select/insert/update/delete. It is also quite flexible; in most places arguments can be passed in a variety of ways (arrays, objects, separate arguments, etc). That said, here are some of the most common operations:

// convenience variables (for node; for the browser: "var sql = SqlBricks;")
var sql = require('sql-bricks');
var select = sql.select, insert = sql.insert, update = sql.update;
var or = sql.or, like = sql.like, lt = sql.lt;

// WHERE: (.toString() is optional; JS will call it automatically in most cases)
select().from('person').where({last_name: 'Rubble'}).toString();
// SELECT * FROM person WHERE last_name = 'Rubble'

// JOINs:
select().from('person').join('address').on({'person.addr_id': 'address.id'});
// SELECT * FROM person INNER JOIN address ON person.addr_id = address.id

// Nested WHERE criteria:
select('*').from('person').where(or(like('last_name', 'Flint%'), {'first_name': 'Fred'}));
// SELECT * FROM person WHERE last_name LIKE 'Flint%' OR first_name = 'Fred'

// GROUP BY / HAVING
select('city', 'max(temp_lo)').from('weather')
  .groupBy('city').having(lt('max(temp_lo)', 40))
// SELECT city, max(temp_lo) FROM weather
// GROUP BY city HAVING max(temp_lo) < 40

// INSERT
insert('person', {'first_name': 'Fred', 'last_name': 'Flintstone'});
// INSERT INTO person (first_name, last_name) VALUES ('Fred', 'Flintstone')

// UPDATE
update('person', {'first_name': 'Fred', 'last_name': 'Flintstone'});
// UPDATE person SET first_name = 'Fred', last_name = 'Flintstone'


// Parameterized SQL
update('person', {'first_name': 'Fred'}).where({'last_name': 'Flintstone'}).toParams();
// {"text": "UPDATE person SET first_name = $1 WHERE last_name = $2", "values": ["Fred", "Flintstone"]}

// SQLite-style params
update('person', {'first_name': 'Fred'}).where({'last_name': 'Flintstone'}).toParams({placeholder: '?%d'});
// {"text": "UPDATE person SET first_name = ?1 WHERE last_name = ?2", "values": ["Fred", "Flintstone"]}

// MySQL-style params
update('person', {'first_name': 'Fred'}).where({'last_name': 'Flintstone'}).toParams({placeholder: '?'});
// {"text": "UPDATE person SET first_name = ? WHERE last_name = ?", "values": ["Fred", "Flintstone"]}
