InfluxDB 3 JavaScript Client

The JavaScript Client that provides a simple and convenient way to interact with InfluxDB 3. This package supports both writing data to InfluxDB and querying data using the FlightSQL client, which allows you to execute SQL queries against InfluxDB IOx.

Installation

To write or query InfluxDB 3, add @influxdata/influxdb3-client as a dependency to your project using your favorite package manager.

npm install --save @influxdata/influxdb3-client
yarn add @influxdata/influxdb3-client
pnpm add @influxdata/influxdb3-client

If you target Node.js, use @influxdata/influxdb3-client. It provides main (CJS), module (ESM), and browser (UMD) exports.

⚠️ The browser target is not currently supported.

Usage

set environment variables:

• INFLUXDB_URL region of your influxdb cloud e.g. https://us-east-1-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com/
• INFLUXDB_TOKEN read/write token generated in cloud
• INFLUXDB_DATABASE name of database e.g .my-database

linux/macos

export INFLUXDB_URL="<url>"
export INFLUXDB_DATABASE="<database>"
export INFLUXDB_TOKEN="<token>"

windows

powershell

set INFLUXDB_URL=<url>
set INFLUXDB_DATABASE=<database>
set INFLUXDB_TOKEN=<token>

cmd

$env:INFLUXDB_URL "<url>"
$env:INFLUXDB_DATABASE "<database>"
$env:INFLUXDB_TOKEN "<token>"

To get started with influxdb client import @influxdata/influxdb3-client package.

import {InfluxDBClient, Point} from '@influxdata/influxdb3-client'

Prepare environmnet variables and instanciate InfluxDBClient in asynchronous function. Make sure to close client after.

const url = process.env.INFLUXDB_URL
const token = process.env.INFLUXDB_TOKEN
const database = process.env.INFLUXDB_DATABASE

async function main() {
    const client = new InfluxDBClient({url, token})

    // following code goes here

    client.close()
}

main()

The client can be now used to insert data using line-protocol:

const line = `stat,unit=temperature avg=20.5,max=45.0`
await client.write(line, database)

Fetch data using SQL query and print result.

// Execute query
const query = `
    SELECT *
    FROM "stat"
    WHERE
    time >= now() - interval '5 minute'
    AND
    "unit" IN ('temperature')
`
const queryResult = await client.query(query, database)

for await (const row of queryResult) {
    console.log(`avg is ${row.avg}`)
    console.log(`max is ${row.max}`)
}

Development

Update the Flight Client

As of now, we're responsible for generating the Flight Client by ourself. However, its Protobuf interfaces may undergo changes over time. To re-generate the Flight Client, we have provided a script that can be executed using yarn flight. This script will clone the Flight Protobuf repository and generate new TypeScript files into the client.
