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 package from the SDK:

import "github.com/hypermodeinc/modus/sdk/go/pkg/mysql"

MySQL APIs

The APIs in the mysql package 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.

func Execute(connection, statement string, params ...any) (*db.Response, error)
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 parameters as arguments instead. This can help to protect injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

params
...any

Optional parameters to include with the query.

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.

func Query[T any](connection, statement string, params ...any) (*db.QueryResponse[T], error)
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 project’s source code. All types must be JSON serializable. You can also use built-in types such as strings, numbers, slices, 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 parameters as arguments instead. This can help to protect injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

params
...any

Optional parameters to include with the query.

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.

func QueryScalar[T any](connection, statement string, params ...any) (*db.ScalarResponse[T], error)
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 parameters as arguments instead. This can help to protect injection attacks and other security vulnerabilities.

params
...any

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

type Location struct {
  Longitude float64
  Latitude float64
}
Longitude
float64
required

The longitude coordinate of the location, in degrees.

Latitude
float64
required

The latitude coordinate of the location, in degrees.

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

type Point struct {
  X float64
  Y float64
}
X
float64
required

The X coordinate of the point.

Y
float64
required

The Y coordinate of the point.

QueryResponse

Represents the response from a Query operation.

type QueryResponse[T any] struct {
  RowsAffected uint32
  LastInsertId uint64
  Rows []T
}
RowsAffected
uint32

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

lastInsertId
uint64

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 slice 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.

type Response struct {
  RowsAffected uint32
  LastInsertId uint64
}
RowsAffected
uint32

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

lastInsertId
uint64

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.

type ScalarResponse[T any] struct {
  RowsAffected uint32
  LastInsertId uint64
  Value T
}
RowsAffected
uint32

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

lastInsertId
uint64

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.
