How can I avoid hard coded queries using MySQL?

Node
1

Hi,

I am working on a NodeJS backend server and it will communicate with a MySQL database. What is the best practice to make SQL queries from NodeJS code? I would like to avoid the hard coded SQL strings.

Other question: is it a good idea to store the connection data (db name, password, host etc) in environment variable? Is it the appropriate way regarding to safety?

Thank you!

Hi,

I am not knowledgeable enough about Node.js but overall you may check if there is an Object Relational Mapper available for Node.js.

I found this article about ORMs for Node.js.

Good luck.
