Comparison with more popular InfluxDB libraries

[dandv]

Thanks for the new InfluxDB library. It would help to document the motivation for writing it, and how it compares with the more established Node.js libraries for InfluxDB:

• influx by @node-influx
• influent by @gobwas

@dandv I will compare this project with the other two modules to find out the differences later.

@vicanso: Thank you. Did you take a look at at the other projects before starting this one, or maybe you just went ahead and developed it for your own projects' needs?

[vicanso]

@dandv I am sorry for forget to reply you. Yes I did look at the other projects before. I think those projects are not convenient.

[dandv]

@vicanso: can you elaborate how the other libraries, and especially the official client, are not convenient?

Too me it looks like the official library and it's doc has improved allot. When this library was created that was not the case.

https://node-influx.github.io/manual/tutorial.html

Although the usage manual is still quite a bit lacking https://node-influx.github.io/manual/usage.html

Just my 2 cents.

@dandv Since node-influx uses influx ql to query data, I don't want to write select * from http where time >= -2h and time <= -1h. I prefer querying data in this way:

client.query('http')
  .set({
    'start': '-2h',
    'end': '-1h',
  })

@sveip I write the project in my spare time . Honestly, I suggest you to choose the official library for commercial purpose. I start this project just because I want to write something in my spare time. It's not perfect, even contains flaws, but it's mine.

Thanks for the advice,

I think I'll stick to yours, I really like it ☺️
