Re: Reconnect logic on connection close in X DevAPI of MySql using @mysql/xdevapi module in Node.js

[Shelly Megan]

To implement a reconnect logic in MySQL X DevAPI while using Node.js without directly accessing internal properties, you should use the built-in event handling provided by the library. Here's how you can modify your code to achieve that:
javascriptCopy code
const mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi');

async function createSession() {
try {
const session = await mysqlx.getSession({
user: 'your_user',
password: 'your_password',
host: 'your_host',
port: 33060, // default MySQL X Protocol port
});

// Use the session for your database operations in Node.js
// ...

// Handle unexpected disconnections and automatically reconnect in Node.js
session.on('close', () => {
console.log('Connection closed. Reconnecting...');
createSession(); // Re-establish the session
});

} catch (error) {
console.error('Error connecting to MySQL in Node.js:', error);
}
}

// Create the initial session in Node.js
createSession();
This approach, tailored for Node.js, uses event handling to detect unexpected disconnections and automatically reconnect without directly accessing internal properties, as recommended in the MySQL X DevAPI library.
