Node.js mysql transaction

Question

Can anyone provide an example of how I could achieve MySQL transactions in Node.js. I am trying to get my head around using the node-mysql driver and node-mysql-queue.

Answer 1

The following transaction example was added to the documentation a month ago:

https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql#transactions

connection.beginTransaction(function(err) {
  if (err) { throw err; }
  connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET title=?', title, function(err, result) {
    if (err) { 
      connection.rollback(function() {
        throw err;
      });
    }

    var log = 'Post ' + result.insertId + ' added';

    connection.query('INSERT INTO log SET data=?', log, function(err, result) {
      if (err) { 
        connection.rollback(function() {
          throw err;
        });
      }  
      connection.commit(function(err) {
        if (err) { 
          connection.rollback(function() {
            throw err;
          });
        }
        console.log('success!');
      });
    });
  });
});
