# Datasquirel 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. ## Instalation ### Package manager Using npm: ```bash $ npm install datasquirel ``` 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.post({ 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) }, }); ```
