InfluxDB Client Examples

This directory contains javascript and typescript examples for node.js, browser, and deno.

• Node.js examples
  • Prerequisites
    • node installed, at least version 18 is recommended
    • Run npm install in this directory
    • Change variables in ./env.mjs to configure connection to your InfluxDB instance. The file can be used as-is against a new docker InfluxDB v2.3 OSS GA installation
  • Examples are executable. If it does not work for you, run npm run esr EXAMPLE.ts.
  • write.mjs Write data points to InfluxDB.
  • query.ts Query InfluxDB with Flux.
  • queryWithParams.mjs Supply parameters to a Flux query.
  • ping.mjs Check status of InfluxDB server.
  • createBucket.mjs Creates an example bucket.
  • onboarding.mjs Performs onboarding of a new influxDB database. It creates a new organization, bucket and user that is then used in all examples.
  • influxdb-1.8.ts How to use forward compatibility APIs from InfluxDB 1.8.
  • rxjs-query.ts Use RxJS to query InfluxDB with Flux.
  • writeAdvanced.mjs Shows how to control the way of how data points are written to InfluxDB.
  • follow-redirects.mjs Shows how to configure the client to follow HTTP redirects.
  • delete.ts Shows how to delete data from a bucket.
  • httpErrorHandled.mjs Shows handling HTTP Error response.
• Browser examples
  • Change token, org, bucket, username, password variables in ./env_browser.mjs to match your InfluxDB instance
  • Run npm run browser It starts a local HTTP server and opens index.html that contains client examples. The local HTTP server serves all files from this git repository and also proxies requests to a configured influxDB database, see scripts/server.mjs for details.
• Deno examples
  • query.deno.ts shows how to query InfluxDB with Flux. It is almost the same as node's query.ts example, the difference is the import statement that works in deno and built-in typescript support.
