Create Node js Rest Api to get, insert, update and delete records from SOQL Using Express JS, Install pool database, Install pg module and Install localserver for Start port terminal and project structure setup | How to insert, update, retrieve and Delete Record from Node js Rest Api Using Express JS, pool, pg module and localserver in Salesforce (SOQL)

Hey guys, today in this post we are going to learn about How to Create Node js Rest Api to get, insert, update and delete records from SOQL Using Express JS, Install pool database, Install pg and Install localserver to Start port terminal and project structure setup

Real time scenarios:-Install pg module for run localhost, install pool for connect database and install localserver to run local API URL(endpoint url) and Start for port terminal:- node index.js

In this example we are connecting Heroku database (postgres) with authentication of user, password, host, port and database

After connecting the database we are insert, update, retrieve and Delete recorda from Salesforce (SOQL) Credentials.

I am using following dependency libraries in this nodejs project:-

Express js : Express is a framework for building web applications on top of Node.js
Pool database connect:- Use to create connection with Heroku database (postgres) with authentication that allow connect into data table (SOQL).
body-parser:- This nodejs module help to reading data from the ‘form’ element and attached with request.
template.pug:- Install template pug for display API data in HTML table format.

The Node js Rest API details are as follows:-

Route	Method	Description
/data	Get	Get all scoreCard__c (Salesforce Custom Object) data from Salesforce
/update	Post	Update scoreCard__c (Salesforce Custom Object) record into database Salesforce
/insertdata	Post	Insert new coreCard__c (Salesforce Custom Object) record into database Salesforce
/deleteRecord	Post	Delete particular coreCard__c (Salesforce Custom Object) record from database Salesforce

Create Node Index.js

Step 1:- Create Node Index.js

```
  const pg = require('pg')
```
```
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
const pool = NEW pg.Pool({
```
```
  USER:"asscttojyomvfdxxx",
```

  password:"0298efdb7b22ab5cef10c07da0a4009767eb9934729eea8xxx",

  host:"ec2-18-232-254-253.compute-1.amazonaws.com",

```
  port:5432,
```
```
  DATABASE:"dc0jb3labjb46m",  
```
```
  ssl:TRUE
```
```
 
```
```
});
```
```
const express = require('express')
```
```
const app = express()
```
```
const port = 4567
```
```
const pug = require('pug');
```
```
 
```
```
// Compile the SOURCE code
```

const compiledFunction = pug.compileFile('template.pug');

```
 
```
```
 
```

app.use(bodyParser.json());

```
 
```

// npm install body-parser (need install this command)

```
 
```

process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED='0'

```
 
```

// START FOR port terminal:- node INDEX.js

```
// clear the terminal:- ctrl + c
```
```
 
```
```
app.get('/data', (req, res) => {
```
```
 
```
```
 
```

//  console.log("Results of rows is",results.rows);

```
 
```

//node localserver.js (run ON terminal TO CREATE NEW LOCAL api url )

```
 
```

//npm install pg (Install pg module FOR run localhost)

```
 
```

pool.connect(FUNCTION(err, client, done) {

```
 
```
```
  IF(err) {
```

    RETURN console.error('connexion error', err);

```
  }
```

  client.query("Select Id, sfid, Name From mysalesforce.scoreCard__c", [], FUNCTION(err, RESULT) {

app.post('/update', (req, res) => {

```
 
```
```
  var updateScoreName = req.body.Name  
```

  var updateScoreCity = req.body.City__c

```
  var scoreId = req.body.sfid

      done();

  }); // END UPDATE method
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
 
```

  app.post('/insertdata', (req, res) => {

```
 
```

    var insertScoreName = req.body.Name

    var insertScoreCity = req.body.City__c

```
 
```

    pool.connect(FUNCTION(err, client, done) {

```
      IF(err) {
```

        RETURN console.error('connexion error', err);

```
      }

          RETURN console.error('error running query', err);

```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
        res.send(compiledFunction({
```
```
          DATA:RESULT.rows
```
```
        }))
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
      });
```
```
    });
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
    }); // END INSERT method
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
 
```

  app.post('/deleteRecord', (req, res) => {

```
 
```

     var insertScoreName = req.body.Name

```
 
```

    pool.connect(FUNCTION(err, client, done) {

```
      IF(err) {
```

        RETURN console.error('connexion error', err);

```
      }
```

      client.query("DELETE FROM mysalesforce.scoreCard__c WHERE Name = $1", [insertScoreName], FUNCTION(err, RESULT) {

        // CALL `done()` TO release the client back TO the pool

```
        done();
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
        IF(err) {
```

          RETURN console.error('error running query', err);

```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
        res.send(compiledFunction({
```
```
          DATA:RESULT.rows
```
```
        }))
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
      });
```
```
    });
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
    }); // END DELETE method
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
app.listen(port, () => {
```

  console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`)

```
})
```

Install localserver (npm install localserver )

Step 2:- Create a file localserver.js

```
   const ngrok = require('ngrok');
```
```
(async function() {
```
```
  try {
```

  const url = await ngrok.connect(4567);

  console.log("-----callBackUrl----",url)

```
  // await ngrok.disconnect(); 
```
```
} catch (error) {
```
```
    console.log(error)}
```
```
})();
```
