🔧 Step 1: Install Required Dependencies
Make sure to install the necessary libraries for database connectivity. For example:
npm install mysql2
🔌 Step 2: Configure Connection Parameters
Set up your database credentials and connection settings. Key parameters include:
- Hostname (e.g.,
localhost) - Port (e.g.,
3306) - Username and Password
- Database name
✅ Step 3: Test the Connection
Use a simple script to verify connectivity:
const mysql = require('mysql2');
const connection = mysql.createConnection({ host: 'localhost', user: 'root', password: '', database: 'test' });
connection.connect(err => { if (err) throw err; console.log('Connected!'); });
