{"library":"mysql-server","type":"library","category":null,"description":"A Node.js package that provides an isolated, portable MySQL server (or MariaDB) for development and testing. It bundles MySQL binaries and automatically manages starting and stopping a local instance without requiring a separate MySQL installation. The current version is 1.0.5, but the project appears to be minimally maintained with limited configuration options (port, credentials, etc.) and no active release cadence. Key differentiators: standalone execution without a system MySQL install; synchronous start (blocks the process). Consider alternatives like 'mysql2' or 'mysqld' for more robust development database solutions.","language":"javascript","status":"maintenance","version":"1.0.5","tags":["javascript","mysql","mysqld","mariadb","database","db","isolated","portable","standalone"],"last_verified":"Fri Jun 05","install":[{"cmd":"npm install mysql-server","imports":["const mysqlServer = require('mysql-server');","mysqlServer.start();","mysqlServer.stop();"]},{"cmd":"yarn add mysql-server","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add mysql-server","imports":[]}],"homepage":"https://github.com/BrodaNoel/mysql-server#readme","github":"https://github.com/BrodaNoel/mysql-server","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"mysql-server","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":null}
