can node-mysql be browserified?

[Kiril Kartunov]

For instance with browserify?

I have tested/tried to do it but failed because browseify said something in the sense of: 

Can not find module ....xxxxxx.

Of course node-myslq was installed previously via npm.

What's your use case?

https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/blob/master/lib/protocol/packets/index.js currently prevents browserify from working, but it could be fixed.

That being said, there is no TCP API in the browser, so you wouldn't be able to connect to a MySql Server without some proxy. In which case parsing the MySQL protocol itself would be better done on the proxy.

Also keep in mind the security implications of allowing MySQL access from the browser (including supplying credentials).

Use case is achieving same functionality but from the client side (the browser).

There is no client side driver for Mysql from Javascript, this is what I'm after.

i think it will be very interesting project and also helpful. Communication would go via WebSockets or Ajax.

Hey!

So I have a use case where I'm using the JAWS stack to create an API on top of a MySQL db.

So the issue is that the Lambda  (AWS)  functions' performance suffer significantly from a large codebase, so JAWS's solution is to browserify the package to make it smaller.

So none of the code runs on the client and everything is in a node environment, but still browserified.
