Connect

Before performing any operations, you must connect to MindsDB. By default, all operations will go through MindsDB Cloud REST APIs, but you can use a self-hosted version of MindsDB as well.

Local MindsDB

Here is how to connect to your local MindsDB server:

import MindsDB from 'mindsdb-js-sdk';
// const MindsDB = require("mindsdb-js-sdk").default; // alternative for CommonJS syntax

try {

  // No authentication needed for self-hosting
  await MindsDB.connect({ // alternative for ES6 module syntax: await MindsDB.default.connect({
    host: 'http://127.0.0.1:47334'
  });
  console.log('connected');

} catch(error) {
  // Failed to connect to local instance
  console.log(error);
}

Please note that all methods that use await must be wrapped in an async function, like this:

(async() => {

  try {

    // No authentication needed for self-hosting
    await MindsDB.connect({
      host: 'http://127.0.0.1:47334'
    });
    console.log('connected');

  } catch(error) {
    // Failed to connect to local instance
    console.log(error);
  }

})();
