如何配置node-mysql？

Question

I've found a lot of tutorials explaining how to install "node-mysql" (basically: "npm install mysql" and that's it) and others explaining how to make queries but nothing in-between.

I mean: with no GUI, how do you configure node-mysql (Mysql login, Mysql password, first table,..) before using it?

OR: How to install a GUI to access node-mysql for edition (which would solve problem 1)?

I tried "Mysql Workbench" via its wizard but I get a "Cannot connect to Database Server" while the host and the port are ok. I searched the "MySQL Workbench" website but there's nothing about node-mysql.

Node-Mysql seems to be the first choice when it comes to use mysql with node.js but, surprisingly, there's absolutely nothing about my issues, anywhere.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

you don't need to configure node-mysql itself, you need to learn how to add users to mysql database .

if you already have existing user, node-mysql client is very straightforward to use:

var client = mysql.createClient({
  user: 'someusername',
  password: 'somepassword',
});
