While each Modus SDK offers similar capabilities, the APIs and usage may vary between languages.

Modus MySQL APIs documentation is available on the following pages:

The Modus MySQL APIs allow you to run queries against MySQL or any MySQL-compatible database platform.

​
Import

To begin, import the mysql namespace from the SDK:

import { mysql } from "@hypermode/modus-sdk-as"

​
MySQL APIs

The APIs in the mysql namespace are below, organized by category.

We’re constantly introducing new APIs through ongoing development with early users. Please open an issue if you have ideas on what would make Modus even more powerful for your next app!

​
Functions

​
execute

Execute a SQL statement against a MySQL database, without any data returned. Use this for insert, update, or delete operations, or for other SQL statements that don’t return data.

The execute function is for operations that don’t return data. However, some insert/update/delete operations may still return data. In these cases, you can use the queryScalar or query functions instead.

function execute(
  connection: string,
  statement: string,
  params?: Params,
): Response
​
connection
string
required

Name of the connection, as defined in the manifest.

​
statement
string
required

SQL statement containing the query or mutation operation to execute.

While it’s possible to directly include parameter values into your SQL statement, it’s highly recommended to pass a Params object instead. This can help to protect against injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

​
params
Params

Optional parameters to include with the query.

See the details of the Params object for more information.

​
query

Execute a SQL statement against a MySQL database, returning a set of rows. In the results, each row converts to an object of type T, with fields matching the column names.

function query<T>(
  connection: string,
  statement: string,
  params?: Params,
): QueryResponse<T>
​
T
required

Type of object to use for the data returned from the query. This can be any type, including a custom type defined in your project. It should match the shape of the row returned from the SQL query.

Define custom types in the app’s source code. In AssemblyScript, create classes decorated with @json.

All types, including classes, base classes, and field types must be JSON serializable. You can also use built-in types such as strings, numbers, arrays, and maps.

If working with MySQL’s point data type, you can use a Point or Location object to represent the data.

​
connection
string
required

Name of the connection, as defined in the manifest.

​
statement
string
required

SQL statement containing the query or mutation operation to execute.

While it’s possible to directly include parameter values into your SQL statement, it’s highly recommended to pass a Params object instead. This can help to protect against injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

​
params
Params

Optional parameters to include with the query.

See the details of the Params object for more information.

​
queryScalar

Execute a SQL statement against a MySQL database, returning a single scalar value. For example, the result could be a count, sum, or average, or it could be an identifier.

function queryScalar<T>(
  connection: string,
  statement: string,
  params?: Params,
): ScalarResponse<T>
​
T
required

Type of object to use for the data returned from the query. This should generally be a scalar data type, such as a number or string. It should match the type of the data returned from the SQL query.

​
connection
string
required

Name of the connection, as defined in the manifest.

​
statement
string
required

SQL statement containing the query or mutation operation to execute.

While it’s possible to directly include parameter values into your SQL statement, it’s highly recommended to pass a Params object instead. This can help to protect against injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

​
params
Params

Optional parameters to include with the query.

​
Types

​
Location

Represents a location on Earth, having longitude and latitude coordinates.

Correctly serializes to and from MySQL’s point type, in (longitude, latitude) order.

This class is identical to the Point class, but uses different field names.

class Location {
 longitude: f64,
 latitude: f64,
}
​
longitude
f64
required

The longitude coordinate of the location, in degrees.

​
latitude
f64
required

The latitude coordinate of the location, in degrees.

​
Params

A container for parameters to include with a SQL operation.

To use this feature, create a new Params object and call the push method for each parameter you want to include. Then pass the object to the execute, query, or queryScalar function along with your SQL statement.

class Params {
  push<T>(value: T): void
  toJSON(): string
}
​
push(value)

Push a parameter value into the list included with the SQL operation. The sequence of calls to push determines the order of the parameters in the SQL statement. This corresponds to the order of the ? placeholders or $1, $2, etc.

​
toJSON()
string

Serializes the parameters to a JSON string for inclusion in the SQL operation. The SDK functions call this automatically when you pass a Params object. You typically don’t need to call it directly.

​
Point

Represents a point in 2D space, having x and y coordinates. Correctly serializes to and from MySQL’s point type, in (x, y) order.

This class is identical to the Location class, but uses different field names.

class Point {
 x: f64,
 y: f64,
}
​
x
f64
required

The x coordinate of the point.

​
y
f64
required

The y coordinate of the point.

​
QueryResponse

Represents the response from a query operation.

class QueryResponse<T> {
  error: string | null
  rowsAffected: u32
  lastInsertId: u64
  rows: T[]
}
​
error
string | null

An error message, if an error occurred during the operation. Otherwise, this field is null.

​
rowsAffected
u32

The number of rows affected by the operation, which typically corresponds to the number of rows returned.

​
lastInsertId
u64

When inserting a row, this field contains the ID of the last inserted row. This is useful for tables with auto-incrementing primary keys.

​
rows
T[]

An array of objects, each representing a row returned from the query. Each object has fields corresponding to the columns in the result set.

​
Response

Represents the response from an execute operation. Also serves as the base class for QueryResponse<T> and ScalarResponse<T>.

class Response {
  error: string | null
  rowsAffected: u32
  lastInsertId: u64
}
​
error
string | null

An error message, if an error occurred during the operation. Otherwise, this field is null.

​
rowsAffected
u32

The number of rows affected by the operation.

​
lastInsertId
u64

When inserting a row, this field contains the ID of the last inserted row. This is useful for tables with auto-incrementing primary keys.

​
ScalarResponse

Represents the response from a queryScalar operation.

class ScalarResponse<T> {
  error: string | null
  rowsAffected: u32
  lastInsertId: u64
  value: T
}
​
error
string | null

An error message, if an error occurred during the operation. Otherwise, this field is null.

​
rowsAffected
u32

The number of rows affected by the operation, which is typically 1 for a scalar query.

​
lastInsertId
u64

When inserting a row, this field contains the ID of the last inserted row. This is useful for tables with auto-incrementing primary keys.

​
value
T

The scalar value returned from the query.
