NodeJs MySQL Build a simple app using Node JS and MySQL.

Hello world!. In this tutorial, we are going to build a simple CRUD application using Node JS and MySQL.

What we will build?


The image above shows the app. It is an application that lets you add players to a database and also display their details from the database. You can also delete and edit player details.

Prerequisites

Before you join this tutorial it is assumed that you meet the requirements listed below:

  • Node JS installed on your PC.
  • Basic understanding of Node JS and Express JS.
  • Knowledge of SQL, you should know and understand how to query a database.
  • phpmyadmin installed on your PC. I recommend installing xampp as it already contains phpmyadmin in it.
  • Understand how to use templating engines -- we are going to be using ejs in this tutorial).
  • A text editor or IDE of your choice.

Folder Structure

This is how the project will be structured.

├── node-mqsql-crud-app (main directory)   
    ├── node_modules
    ├── public
        ├── assets 
            ├── img
    ├── routes
        ├── index.js
        ├── player.js
    ├── views
        ├── partials 
            ├── header.ejs
        ├── index.ejs
        ├── add-player.ejs
        ├── edit-player.ejs
    ├── app.js

Creating the directory for the project

Open the command prompt in a suitable directory and type the following command:

mkdir node-mysql-crud-app 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

then change to the directory by typing the following command

cd node-mysql-crud-app 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Initialize the Project

Open your command prompt in your project directory and type the command below:

npm init
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install required modules.

The following modules are going to be needed to successfully build the app.

  • express: used to create handle routing and process requests from the client.
  • express-fileupload: Simple express file upload middleware that wraps around busboy.
  • body-parser: used to parse incoming request from the client.
  • mysql: Node JS driver for MySQL.
  • ejs: templating engine to render html pages for the app.
  • req-flash: used to send flash messages to the view
  • nodemon: Installed globally. It is used to watch for changes to files and automatically restart the server.

Type the following command to install the first 7 modules as dependencies.

npm install express express-fileupload body-parser mysql ejs req-flash --save
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then type the following command to install the last module globally on your PC.

npm install nodemon -g
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Creating the database for the app

Copy the command below and navigate to your phpmyadmin dashboard and execute the following query in the console (usually found at the bottom of the page) in order to create database and table for the app.

CREATE DATABASE socka;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `players` (
  `id` int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `position` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `number` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `image` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `user_name` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

Adding the views

header.ejs

The header.ejs file is going to be in the /views/partials folder where it is going to be included in the rest of the project.

Working on the server.

App.js

const express = require('express');
const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const mysql = require('mysql');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();

// const {getHomePage} = require('./routes/index');
// const {addPlayerPage, addPlayer, deletePlayer, editPlayer, editPlayerPage} = require('./routes/player');
const port = 5000;

// create connection to database
// the mysql.createConnection function takes in a configuration object which contains host, user, password and the database name.
const db = mysql.createConnection ({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: '',
    database: 'socka'
});

// connect to database
db.connect((err) => {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
    console.log('Connected to database');
});
global.db = db;

// configure middleware
app.set('port', process.env.port || port); // set express to use this port
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); // set express to look in this folder to render our view
app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); // configure template engine
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json()); // parse form data client
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); // configure express to use public folder
app.use(fileUpload()); // configure fileupload

In the above code, the modules are required and then a connection to the database is created. The mysql.createConnection function takes in an object which contains the configuration of the database being connected to. In the next statement, the database is being connected. Run the code below on the command prompt to run the server.

Your console should show the result below:

Adding the routes

index.js

Copy the code below into the index.js file in the /routes directory.

module.exports = {
    getHomePage: (req, res) => {
        let query = "SELECT * FROM `players` ORDER BY id ASC"; // query database to get all the players

        // execute query
        db.query(query, (err, result) => {
            if (err) {
                res.redirect('/');
            }
            res.render('index.ejs', {
                title: Welcome to Socka | View Players
                ,players: result
            });
        });
    },
};

The db.query function queries the database. It takes in the query and string and a callback which takes in two parameters, if the query is successful, the result is passed to the view in the res.render function.

The player.js file is going to contain all the routes for the players page such as adding a player, updating a player's details and deleting a player.

This file handles all the post and get requests for the players page. The add player function contains a function that uploads the player's image to the /public/assets/img directory and sends the player's details to the database.

Connecting the routes and the views

Go to app.js and uncomment the following lines

  • on line 8 and 9
// const {getHomePage} = require('./routes/index');
// const {addPlayerPage, addPlayer, deletePlayer, editPlayer, editPlayerPage} = require('./routes/player');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • on line 40 - 47
/*
app.get('/', getHomePage);
app.get('/add', addPlayerPage);
app.get('/edit/:id', editPlayerPage);
app.get('/delete/:id', deletePlayer);
app.post('/add', addPlayer);
app.post('/edit/:id', editPlayer);
*/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Running the app

After removing the commented lines, check your command prompt to ensure your code has no errors, then head over to your browser and open http://localhost:5000. The index page will be shown and since no players have been added, the page will look similar to the one below:

Click the Add a player link on the page, the add player page will load and then fill the form to add a player. After adding a player the home page will display the players added in a table. Like this

If errors are encountered, draw my attention in the comment section or check the repo of the project on github.
The code is not perfect and please feel free to make it better and send a pull request.

Don't forget to check me out on twitter or github.

Hi.

Are you aware this code is subject to SQL injection?

No, I totally forgot about it, I will look into solving it and make updates on the repo. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm new to this and I get an awful error. Did it from scratch and cloned your repo but still got this in my terminal:

mj0lken this error suggests that your database credentials in app.js are not correct. Check them. I realise you asked this question many months ago and have probably fixed it by now.

adding players is not working.It is not giving any error.
I tried to add player, once i open the add player page/form AND some player information it shows this after submitting
{
"errno":-2,
"code":"ENOENT",
"syscall":"open",
"path":"public/assets/img/user.png"
}
and when i went back to homepage no player is added.

Collapse

This could be from the addPlayer.js function or the path to the store the image does not exist, kindly crosscheck and try again.

Great guide, very useful.

I'm looking to create something similar using this as a starting point but I'm struggling to remove the image upload requirement, it's not something I need. Could you give any advice on how to remove this requirement? I've encountered a few issues when trying to change this code.

Thanks in advance

Never mind, I figured it out :)

Okay but note that the code is susceptible to SQL injection, I have been quite lazy about fixing and updating it on the repo 😩.

Anyways, thanks for the kind words.

A VERY USEFUL POST, BUT I GET THIS ERROR EACH TIME TRY TO ADD A PLAYER :(

PD: I ONLY CHANGE "NUMBER" FOR "NUMBERO" ITS THE SAME

{"code":"ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD","errno":1366,"sqlMessage":"Incorrect integer value: 'undefined' for column 'numbero' at row 1","sqlState":"HY000","index":0,"sql":"INSERT INTO players (first_name, last_name, position, numbero, image, user_name) VALUES ('Joseph Bryan', 'Gonzalez Ruiz', 'Midfielder', 'undefined', 'code.jpeg', 'code')"}

Sorry for the delayed reply, I think you should also check the sql statement that creates the database and also change the "number" to "numbero"

Sorry about that, I think these may be the possible reasons

  1. The SQL statement

Hi, sorry for the late reply, check if all brackets/braces have been closed and ensure you added the comma after the title key in the res.render function of the index.js file.

Hi i have also got this error, i have re written the file to make sure all brackets are closed and that the comma is in the right place i have even tried making it an if else statement but still can't get it to run. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
