Getting data

Let's start with the real job! Get all the data, get some bits and sort the data!

Get all the data

Let's start with getting all the data. If you want to get all the data, use the function table.getAll. There are no parameters that you have to use! Here is a example.

Await example

let allTheDate = await table.getAll();
// Everything is now in the variable "allTheData"

.then example

Getting specific data

You can also get specific data. For that, you can use the function table.where. You have to use a filter for the one parameters.

Await example

// Making the filter
let filter = new client.filter(null, "and");
filter.add("mail", "@gmail.com", "ends");

// Getting the information from the database
let gmails = await table.where(filter);

// Everyone with a gmail address is now in the variable "gmails"!

.then example

Sorting data

Let's say you have a point system in a Discord bot. And then you want to make a leader board. With Better-MySQL is that really simple! The only thing you have to do, is use the table.sort function and send the results. For the sorting function, you have to make a filter and give the column up that you want to sort. Here a example.

Await example

// Making the filter. For the top 10 you only have to get 10 results.
let filter = new client.filter(10);

// Requesting
let leaderboard = await table.sort(["level", "points"], filter); // First sort on the level, then on the points

// Here you have to handle the sending.
