This package is implemented using pure JavaScript but provides TypeScript type declarations for the relevant parts of the public API. These are specified by proper type definition files under the types directory and should be automatically accessible to TypeScript-enabled IDEs and applications.

All the top-level types should be available under the mysqlx.* namespace. Everything else should be automatically inferred by the TypeScript engine.

IMPORTANT
In order to encourage users to be up-to-date and protected from future breaking changes, deprecated client APIs and options in JavaScript do not have any corresponding TypeScript definitions and/or type declarations, and thus, are not allowed to be used.

The following are some basic examples of how to leverage the existing TypeScript declarations:

Adding documents to a collection

import * as mysqlx from '@mysql/xdevapi';

let client: mysqlx.Client;
let session: mysqlx.Session;

let config: mysqlx.ConnectionOptions = {
    user: 'root',
    host: 'localhost'
};

try {
    client = mysqlx.getClient(config);
    session = await client.getSession();

    let schema = session.getSchema('ts_schema');

    if (!(await schema.existsInDatabase())) {
        schema = await session.createSchema('ts_schema');
    }

    let validationOptions: mysqlx.ValidationOptions = {
        level: mysqlx.Schema.ValidationLevel.OFF
    }

    let collectionOptions: mysqlx.CreateCollectionOptions = {
        reuseExisting: true,
        validation: validationOptions
    };

    let collection = await schema.createCollection('ts_collection', collectionOptions);

    let document: mysqlx.DocumentOrJSON = {
        name: 'foo'
    };

    let documents: mysqlx.CollectionDocuments = [document];

    let res = await collection.add(documents).execute();
    let affectedItems = res.getAffectedItemsCount();

    console.log(`${affectedItems} document(s) where added to ts.schema.ts_collection.`);
} finally {
    if (session) {
        await session.dropSchema('ts_schema');
        await session.close();
    }

    if (client) {
        await client.close();
    }
}

Parsing an X DevAPI expression

import * as mysqlx from '@mysql/xdevapi';

let parserOptions: mysqlx.ParserOptions = {
    mode: mysqlx.Mode.TABLE
};

let expression: mysqlx.Expr = mysqlx.expr('name = "foo"')
