clickhouse

NodeJS client for ClickHouse. Send query over HTTP interface.

Install:

npm i clickhouse

Example:

const { ClickHouse } = require('clickhouse');

const clickhouse = new ClickHouse();

or with all options:

const clickhouse = new ClickHouse({
	url: 'http://localhost',
	port: 8123,
	debug: false,
	basicAuth: null,
	isUseGzip: false,
	trimQuery: false,
	usePost: false,
	format: "json", // "json" || "csv" || "tsv"
	raw: false,
	config: {
		session_id                              : 'session_id if neeed',
		session_timeout                         : 60,
		output_format_json_quote_64bit_integers : 0,
		enable_http_compression                 : 0,
		database                                : 'my_database_name',
	},
	
	// This object merge with request params (see request lib docs)
	reqParams: {
		...
	}
});

or change

basicAuth: null

to

basicAuth: {
	username: 'default',
	password: '',
},

Exec query:

const queries = [
	'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS session_temp',

	`CREATE TABLE session_temp (
		date Date,
		time DateTime,
		mark String,
		ips Array(UInt32),
		queries Nested (
			act String,
			id UInt32
		)
	)
	ENGINE=MergeTree(date, (mark, time), 8192)`,

	'OPTIMIZE TABLE ukit.loadstat PARTITION 201807 FINAL'
];

for(const query of queries) {
	const r = await clickhouse.query(query).toPromise();

	console.log(query, r);
}

---

Exec by callback way:

clickhouse.query(query).exec(function (err, rows) {
	...
});

---

Stream:

clickhouse.query(`SELECT number FROM system.numbers LIMIT 10`).stream()
	.on('data', function() {
		const stream = this;

		stream.pause();

		setTimeout(() => {
			stream.resume();
		}, 1000);
	})
	.on('error', err => {
		...
	})
	.on('end', () => {
		...
	});

or async stream:

// async iteration
for await (const row of clickhouse.query(sql).stream()) {
	console.log(row);
}

---

As promise:

const rows = await clickhouse.query(query).toPromise();

// use query with external data
const rows = await clickhouse.query('SELECT * AS count FROM temp_table', {
	external: [
		{
			name: 'temp_table',
			data: e._.range(0, rowCount).map(i => `str${i}`)
		},
	]
}).toPromise();

---

Set session:

clickhouse.sessionId = '...';
const r = await clickhouse.query(
	`CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE test_table
	(_id String, str String)
	ENGINE=Memory`
).toPromise();

In case your application requires specific sessions to manage specific data then you can send session_id with each query.

let mySessionId = 'some_randome_string';
const r = await clickhouse.query(
	`CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE test_table
	(_id String, str String)
	ENGINE=Memory`, {}, {sessionId: mySessionId}
).toPromise();

Insert stream:

const ws = clickhouse.insert('INSERT INTO session_temp').stream();
for(let i = 0; i <= 1000; i++) {
	await ws.writeRow(
		[
			e._.range(0, 50).map(
				j => `${i}:${i * 2}:${j}`
			).join('-')
		]
	);
}

//wait stream finish
const result = await ws.exec();

---

Pipe readable stream to writable stream (across transform):

const rs = clickhouse.query(query).stream();

const tf = new stream.Transform({
	objectMode : true,
	transform  : function (chunk, enc, cb) {
		cb(null, JSON.stringify(chunk) + '\n');
	}
});

clickhouse.sessionId = Date.now();
const ws = clickhouse.insert('INSERT INTO session_temp2').stream();

const result = await rs.pipe(tf).pipe(ws).exec();

---

insert array of objects:

/*
	CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test_array (
				date Date,
				str String,
				arr Array(String),
				arr2 Array(Date),
				arr3 Array(UInt8),
				id1 UUID
			) ENGINE=MergeTree(date, date, 8192)
*/
		const rows = [
			{
				date: '2018-01-01',
				str: 'Something1...',
				arr: [],
				arr2: ['1985-01-02', '1985-01-03'],
				arr3: [1,2,3,4,5],
				id1: '102a05cb-8aaf-4f11-a442-20c3558e4384'
			},
			
			{
				date: '2018-02-01',
				str: 'Something2...',
				arr: ['5670000000', 'Something3...'],
				arr2: ['1985-02-02'],
				arr3: [],
				id1: 'c2103985-9a1e-4f4a-b288-b292b5209de1'
			}
		];
		
		await clickhouse.insert(
			`insert into test_array 
			(date, str, arr, arr2, 
			 arr3, id1)`,
			rows
		).toPromise();

---

Parameterized Values:

const rows = await clickhouse.query(
	'SELECT * AS count FROM temp_table WHERE version = {ver:UInt16}',
	{
		params: {
			ver: 1
		},
	}
).toPromise();

For more information on encoding in the query, see this section of the ClickHouse documentation.
