Configuration

View all the required and optional properties for state.configuration in the official configuration-schema definition.

Sample expression

sql query

sql({
query: `
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND TABLE_CATALOG='my-demo'
`,
});

sql({
query: `SELECT * FROM Household`,
options: {
writeSql: true, // Keep to true to log query (otherwise make it false).
execute: true, // keep to false to not alter DB
},
});

Find a single value for a table

This helper function allows to build a specific query where sql would not be best suited. It returns a single value and not a promise. An example of usage would be in building a mapping object with a value from a lookup table.

fn(async state => {
const user = {
id: 1,
name: 'Mamadou',
user_id: await findValue({
uuid: 'id',
relation: 'users',
where: { first_name: 'Mama%' },
operator: { first_name: 'like' }, // operator is optional. "=" is used by default.
})(state),
};

return upsert(...)(state);
});

Insert one single record

insert(
'SomeDB.dbo.SupplierTest',
{
SupplierNumber: 1,
Name: dataValue('name'),
Address: 'Nunya Bihz-Nash',
},
{
// The optional `options` argument allows for global string replacement with
// NULL. This is useful if you want to map an undefined value (e.g., x.name)
// to NULL. It can be a single string or an array of strings.
// It DEFAULTS to "'undefined'", and can be turned off w/ `false`.
setNull: "'undefined'",
logValues: true,
}
);

Insert or Update using a unique column as a key

This function insert or update depending on the existence of a record in the database.

upsert(
'SomeDB.dbo.Supplier',
'SupplierNumber',
{
SupplierNumber: 1,
Name: dataValue('name'),
Address: 'Now I can tell!',
},
// Do NOT replace any instances of 'undefined' in the final SQL statement.
{ setNull: false, logValues: true }
);

Insert or Update if a value exist in the record

This function will upsert a record only if the logical given is true. In this case we check if dataValue('name') exists.

upsertIf(
dataValue('name'),
'users',
'user_id',
{
name: 'Elodie',
id: 7,
},
// Replace any occurence of '' and 'undefined' to NULL
{
setNull: ["''", "'undefined'"],
writeSql: true,
execute: false,
logValues: true,
}
);

Insert Many records

This function allows the insert of a set of records inside a table all at once. Pass logQuery option to true to display the query.

// Note that insertMany takes a function which returns an array—this helps
// enforce that each item in the array has the same keys.
insertMany(
'SomeDB.dbo.Supplier',
state =>
state.data.supplierArray.map(s => {
return {
SupplierNumber: s.id,
Name: s.name,
Address: s.address,
};
}),
{ writeSql: true, logValues: true }
);

Insert or Update Many records

This function inserts or updates many records all at once depending on their existence in the database.

// Note that insertMany takes a function which returns an array—this helps
// enforce that each item in the array has the same keys.
upsertMany(
'SomeDB.dbo.Supplier',
'SupplierNumber',
state =>
state.data.supplierArray.map(s => {
return {
SupplierNumber: s.id,
Name: s.name,
Address: s.address,
};
}),
{ writeSql: true, execute: false, logValues: true }
);

In case we need to check on multiple columns before upserting, we can have an array of uuids.

upsertMany(
'SomeDB.dbo.Supplier',
['SupplierNumber', 'SupplierCode'],
state =>
state.data.supplierArray.map(s => {
return {
SupplierNumber: s.id,
Name: s.name,
Address: s.address,
SupplierCode: s.code,
};
}),
{ writeSql: true, execute: false, logValues: true }
);

Describe a table from mssql

This function is used to fetch the list of columns of a given table in the database.

describeTable('users', { writeSql: false, execute: true });

Create a table in the database

This function allows to create a table in a database from a given array of columns. The key identity can be use for a column to auto-generate a value.

insertTable('users', state =>
state.data.map(column => ({
name: column.name,
type: column.type,
required: true, // optional
unique: false, // optional - set to true for unique constraint
}))
);

Alter a table in the database

This function allows to add new columns to a table. Beware of the fact that you cannot add new columns with names that already exist in the table.

modifyTable(
'users',
state =>
state.data.map(newColumn => ({
name: newColumn.name,
type: newColumn.type,
required: true, // optional
unique: false, // optional - set to true for unique constraint
})),
{ writeSql: false, execute: true }
);
