Can I get help with connecting a node-based client with the IRIS DB? Need the same for firing queries with node-based Cypress framework ?

Product version: IRIS 2023.2

NodeJS support for IRIS exists, but too limited, the new version is still on the way, and I have no idea when it comes

But, as I see this thing is a testing engine, what exactly do you want to see from this connectivity with IRIS?

Probably it does not require anything specifically for IRIS, and can be used in a common way

Thank you for your reply, Dmitry Maslennikov. Well, we just want to read some values from IRIS DB from the connectivity with IRIS. As we want to execute the query through javascript. Help would be appreciated!

You should take a look at this alternative Open Source Node.js client for IRIS: mg_dbx:

It provides significantly better performance.

To use its synchronous APIs safely you need to look at either:

- qoper8-fastify: https://github.com/robtweed/qoper8-fastify/blob/master/IRIS.md
