$ npm install appdrag-cloudbackend

Installing with CloudBackend

If your are inside a cloud function in CloudBackend, click on the "Open library manager" button then check the last checkbox named "appdrag-cloudbackend" then save.

Initialization

var cloudbackend = require('appdrag-cloudbackend');
// INIT FROM CODE VARIABLES
cloudbackend.init('your_api_key', 'your_app_id');
// INIT FROM ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
cloudbackend.init(process.env.APIKEY, process.env.APPID);

SQL

sqlSelect(query) - Static query

cloudbackend.sqlSelect("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE category = 'Software'")
.then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

If you want to compose the final SQL query by yourself you must escape the input parameters with cloudbackend.escape() like this:

cloudbackend.sqlSelect("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE category = " + cloudbackend.escape( event.POST.category ))
.then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

sqlSelect(query, arrayOfValues) - Query with parameters (Recommended)

You can use ? characters as placeholders for values you would like to have escaped. Multiple placeholders are mapped to values in the same order as passed.

cloudbackend.sqlSelect("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE category = ? and id > ?", ["Software", 500])
.then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

sqlExecuteRawQuery(query) - Static query

cloudbackend.sqlExecuteRawQuery("UPDATE Products SET qty = qty - 1, lastUpdate = NOW() WHERE id = 54").then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

sqlExecuteRawQuery(query, arrayOfValues) - Query with parameters (Recommended)

cloudbackend.sqlExecuteRawQuery("UPDATE Products SET title = ?, lastUpdate = NOW() WHERE id = ?", ["Great product title", 42]).then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

You can also use sqlExecuteRawQuery to create tables, add an index or anything you can do with a regular MySQL database.
