This package requires an account with datasquirel, so be sure to create an account at [datasquirel-create-account](https://datasquirel.com/create-account) before you continue.
Once the package is installed, you can import the library using `require` approach:
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
```
## Usage
### Fetch Data
This method requires a readonly key or fullaccess API key gotten from [datasquirel](https://datasquirel.com/). It uses a basic https get request paired with some query params.
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const getData = await datasquirel.get({
key: "aldhkf89asdflksdafh908asdfjkhasdf", // Readonly API Key
db: "my_database", // Database name slug (Eg. Db Name => My Database, Db Slug => my_database)
query: "SELECT * FROM blog_posts", // SQL Query
});
```
Datasquirel uses all conventional SQL query commands. However you can only use the `SELECT` command when using a readonly API key.
### Post Data
This method requires a fullaccess API key gotten from [datasquirel](https://datasquirel.com/). You can perform a basic fetch with this method, as well as more complex operations like `UPDATE`, `DELETE` and `INSERT`.
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const postData = await datasquirel.post({
key: "aldhkf89asdflksdafh908asdfjkhasdf", // Fullaccess API Key
payload: {
action: "insert", // OR "update" OR "delete" OR "select"
data: {
user_id: "19aisdn123",
user_first_name: "John",
user_last_name: "Doe",
},
table: "users",
},
});
```
You can simply replace the `payload` object with an SQL string and it does everything you provide in the SQL command.
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const postData = await datasquirel.post({
key: process.env.FULL_ACCESS_API_KEY,
payload: "SELECT * FROM blog_posts WHERE user_id='as09d7nasd90'",
});
```
You can add a condition to the `payload` object to filter the results
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const postData = await datasquirel.post({
key: process.env.FULL_ACCESS_API_KEY,
payload: {
action: "delete",
condition: `WHERE user_id='21adwei9jewr' AND type='buyers'`,
table: "users",
},
});
```
You can use `identifierColumnName` and `identifierValue` when updating an entry.
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const postData = await datasquirel.post({
key: process.env.FULL_ACCESS_API_KEY,
payload: {
action: "update",
table: "users",
identifierColumnName: "id",
identifierValue: "21adwei9jewr",
data: {
first_name: "Mary",
last_name: "Spencer",
},
},
});
```
### Upload Image
This method requires is similar to the `post` method, but with different parameters.
```js
const datasquirel = require("datasquirel");
const postData = await datasquirel.uploadImage({
key: process.env.FULL_ACCESS_API_KEY,
payload: {
imageData: "6ejsiua2i29ndsajkfn9n==", // Image in base64
imageName: `awesome-waterfalls`,
mimeType: "jpg", // optional
thumbnailSize: 120, // optional === This measurement is in pixels(px)
