Overview

This is full-stack Architecture:

1. Node.js Server

vue.js-nodejs-restapi-sequelize-mysql---architecture

2. Vue.js Client

vue.js-nodejs-restapi-sequelize-mysql---vue-client-design

Practice

1. Node.js Backend

Project structure:

vue.js-nodejs-restapi-sequelize-mysql---nodejs-project-structure

Setting up Nodejs/Express project

Init package.json by cmd:

npm init

Install express, mysql, sequelize & cors:

$npm install express cors sequelize mysql2 --save

-> now package.json file:

  "description": "Nodejs-Rest-APIs-Sequelize-MySQL",

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "Nodejs",

    "express": "^4.16.4",
    "mysql2": "^1.6.4",
    "sequelize": "^4.42.0"
  }
}
Setting up Sequelize MySQL connection

– Create ./app/config/env.js file:

const env = {
  database: 'testdb',
  username: 'root',
  password: '12345',
  host: 'localhost',
  dialect: 'mysql',
  pool: {
	  max: 5,
	  min: 0,
	  acquire: 30000,
	  idle: 10000
  }
};
 
module.exports = env;

– Setup Sequelize-MySQL connection in ./app/config/db.config.js file:

const env = require('./env.js');
 
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const sequelize = new Sequelize(env.database, env.username, env.password, {
  host: env.host,
  dialect: env.dialect,
  operatorsAliases: false,
 
  pool: {
    max: env.max,
    min: env.pool.min,
    acquire: env.pool.acquire,
    idle: env.pool.idle
  }
});
 
const db = {};
 
db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
db.sequelize = sequelize;
 
//Models/tables
db.customers = require('../model/customer.model.js')(sequelize, Sequelize);
 
 
module.exports = db;
Create Sequelize model

./app/model/customer.model.js file:

module.exports = (sequelize, Sequelize) => {
	const Customer = sequelize.define('customer', {
	  name: {
		type: Sequelize.STRING
	  },
	  age: {
		  type: Sequelize.INTEGER
	  },
	  active: {
		type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN, defaultValue: false
	  },
	});
	
	return Customer;
}
Express RestAPIs

Route
-> Define Customer’s routes in ‘./app/route/customer.route.js’ file:

module.exports = function(app) {
 
    const customers = require('../controller/customer.controller.js');
 
    // Create a new Customer
    app.post('/api/customer', customers.create);
 
    // Retrieve all Customer
    app.get('/api/customers', customers.findAll);
 
    // Retrieve a single Customer by Id
    app.get('/api/customer/:customerId', customers.findById);
	
	// Retrieve Customers Age
    app.get('/api/customers/age/:age', customers.findByAge);
 
    // Update a Customer with Id
    app.put('/api/customer/:customerId', customers.update);
 
    // Delete a Customer with Id
    app.delete('/api/customer/:customerId', customers.delete);
}

Controller :
-> Implement Customer’s controller in ./app/controller/customer.controller.js file:

const db = require('../config/db.config.js');
const Customer = db.customers;
 
// Post a Customer
exports.create = (req, res) => {	
	// Save to MySQL database
	Customer.create({  
		name: req.body.name,
		age: req.body.age
	}).then(customer => {		
		// Send created customer to client
		res.send(customer);
	}).catch(err => {
		res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
	})
};
 
// FETCH all Customers
exports.findAll = (req, res) => {
	Customer.findAll().then(customers => {
		// Send all customers to Client
		res.send(customers);
	}).catch(err => {
		res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
	})
};
 
// Find a Customer by Id
exports.findById = (req, res) => {	
	Customer.findById(req.params.customerId).then(customer => {
		res.send(customer);
	}).catch(err => {
		res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
	})
};

// Find Customers by Age
exports.findByAge = (req, res) => {
	Customer.findAll({
		where: {
			age: req.params.age
		}
	}).then(
		customers => {
			res.send(customers)
		}
	).catch(err => {
		res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
	})
};
 
// Update a Customer
exports.update = (req, res) => {
	var customer = req.body;
	const id = req.params.customerId;
	Customer.update( { name: req.body.name, age: req.body.age, active: req.body.active }, 
						{ where: {id: req.params.customerId} }
				   ).then(() => {
						res.status(200).send(customer);
				   }).catch(err => {
						res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
				   })
};
 
// Delete a Customer by Id
exports.delete = (req, res) => {
	const id = req.params.customerId;
	Customer.destroy({
	  where: { id: id }
	}).then(() => {
		res.status(200).send('Customer has been deleted!');
	}).catch(err => {
		res.status(500).send("Error -> " + err);
	});
};
Server.js

server.js file:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json())

const cors = require('cors')
const corsOptions = {
  origin: 'http://localhost:4200',
  optionsSuccessStatus: 200
}
app.use(cors(corsOptions))
 
const db = require('./app/config/db.config.js');
  
// force: true will drop the table if it already exists
db.sequelize.sync({force: true}).then(() => {
  console.log('Drop and Resync with { force: true }');
});
 
require('./app/route/customer.route.js')(app);
 
// Create a Server
var server = app.listen(8080, function () {
 
  var host = server.address().address
  var port = server.address().port
 
  console.log("App listening at http://%s:%s", host, port)
})

2. Vue Client

vue.js-nodejs-restapi-sequelize-mysql---vue-project-structure

package.json with 3 main modules: vue, vue-router, axios.
– 4 components: CustomersList, Customer, AddCustomer, SearchCustomer.
router.js defines routes, each route has a path and maps to a component.
http-common.js initializes HTTP Client with baseUrl and headers for axios HTTP methods.
vue.config.js configures port for Vue App.

For more details about how to use Vue Router in this example, please visit:

2.0 Setup Vue Project & Router
Init Project

Point cmd to the folder you want to save Project folder, run command:
vue create vue.js-client

You will see 2 options, choose default:

vue.js-nodejs-restapi-sequelize-mysql---vue-cli

Add Vue Router to Project

– Run command: npm install vue-router.
– Import router to src/main.js:

import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import router from './router'

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

new Vue({
  router, // inject the router to make whole app router-aware
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount("#app");
Define Routes

src/router.js:

import Vue from "vue";
import Router from "vue-router";
import CustomersList from "./components/CustomersList.vue";
import AddCustomer from "./components/AddCustomer.vue";
import SearchCustomers from "./components/SearchCustomers.vue";
import Customer from "./components/Customer.vue";

Vue.use(Router);

export default new Router({
  mode: "history",
  routes: [
    {
      path: "/",
      name: "customers",
      alias: "/customer",
      component: CustomersList,
      children: [
        {
          path: "/customer/:id",
          name: "customer-details",
          component: Customer,
          props: true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      path: "/add",
      name: "add",
      component: AddCustomer
    },
    {
      path: "/search",
      name: "search",
      component: SearchCustomers
    }
  ]
});
App template with Navbar and router-view

src/App.vue:






2.1 Initialize HTTP Client

Install axios with command: npm install axios.
Then create http-common.js file:

import axios from "axios";

export default axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost:8080/api",
  headers: {
    "Content-type": "application/json",
  }
});
