New Client

// no auth
const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');

// normal auth (user and password will be added to URL query parameters)
const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://user:pwd@127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');

// basic auth (will be used http basic auth)
const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://user:pwd@127.0.0.1:8086/mydb?auth=basic');

Write point

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
// i --> integer
// s --> string
// f --> float
// b --> boolean
const fieldSchema = {
  use: 'i',
  bytes: 'i',
  url: 's',
};
const tagSchema = {
  spdy: ['speedy', 'fast', 'slow'],
  method: '*',
  // http stats code: 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x
  type: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
};
client.schema('http', fieldSchema, tagSchema, {
  // default is false
  stripUnknown: true,
});
client.write('http')
  .tag({
    spdy: 'fast',
    method: 'GET',
    type: '2',  
  })
  .field({
    use: 300,
    bytes: 2312,
    url: 'https://github.com/vicanso/influxdb-nodejs',
  })
  .then(() => console.info('write point success'))
  .catch(console.error);

Query influxdb with multi where condition

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
client.query('http')
  .where('spdy', '1')
  .where('method', ['GET', 'POST'])
  .where('use', 300, '>=')
  .then(console.info)
  .catch(console.error);
// => influx ql: select * from "http" where "spdy" = '1' and "use" >= 300 and ("method" = 'GET' or "method" = 'POST')

Query influxdb using functon

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
client.query('http')
  .where('spdy', '1')
  .addFunction('count', 'url')
  .then(console.info)
  .catch(console.error);
// => select count("url") from "http" where "spdy" = '1'

client.query('http')
  .where('spdy', '1')
  .addFunction('bottom', 'use', 5)
  .then(console.info)
  .catch(console.error);
// select bottom("use",5) from "http" where "spdy" = '1'

Write points to influxdb in queue

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
function loginStatus(account, ip, type) {
  client.write('login')
    .tag({
      type,  
    })
    .field({
      account,
      ip,  
    })
    .queue();
  if (client.writeQueueLength >= 10) {
    client.syncWrite()
      .then(() => console.info('sync write queue success'))
      .catch(err => console.error(`sync write queue fail, ${err.message}`));
  }
}

setInterval(() => {
  loginStatus('vicanso', '127.0.0.1', 'vip');
}, 5000);

Sub query

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
client.query('http')
  .addFunction('max', 'use')
  .addGroup('type')
  .subQuery()
  .addFunction('sum', 'max')
  .then((data) => {
    // { name: 'http', columns: [ 'time', 'sum' ], values: [ [ '1970-01-01T00:00:00Z', 904 ] ] }
    console.info(data.results[0].series[0]);
  }).catch(console.error);

Multi query

const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
const reader = client.query('request');
reader.set({
  limit: 2,
});
reader.multiQuery();
reader.measurement = 'login';
reader.set({
  limit: 1,
  tz: 'America/Chicago',
});
reader.set({
  format: 'json',
});
reader.then(data => {
  console.info(JSON.stringify(data));
}).catch(console.error);

Use influxdb for express

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const _ = require('lodash');
const Influx = require('influxdb-nodejs');
const client = new Influx('http://127.0.0.1:8086/mydb');
const onHeaders = require('on-headers');

// set the http stats schema
client.schema('http', {
  use: 'integer',
  code: 'integer',
  bytes: 'integer',
  url: 'string',
});
client.on('writeQueue', () => {
  // sync write queue if the length is 100
  if (client.writeQueueLength === 100) {
    client.syncWrite()
      .then(() => {
        console.info('sync write success');
      })
      .catch(console.error);
  }
});

  const start = Date.now();
  onHeaders(res, () => {
    const code = res.statusCode;
    const use = Date.now() - start;
    const method = req.method;
    const bytes = parseInt(res.get('Content-Length') || 0, 10);
    const tags = {
      spdy: _.sortedIndex([100, 300, 1000, 3000], use),
      type: code / 100 | 0,
      method,

    const fields = {
      use,
      code,
      bytes,
      url: req.url,
      route: req.route.path
    };

Comparison

• influx It's complex for me. Before developing this module, I used influx, which was not straightforward; and its batch function can not be saved as queue. What's more, the function of query is too simple, just like I write influx ql.

• influent I have never used this module, but I have read its API. In my opinion, this module is not so convenient.
