These are very different. mysql-async is a resource, whereas mysql2 is a node module which is not compatible with mysql-async by simply swapping out the module used (mysqljs).
I never said they werent different, I just said if you’re gonna make something from scratch like he did just use node mysql2. I never said swap out the module used for mysql-async (in fact rather throw that shit into the garbage and make your own mysql2 wrapper and avoid callback hell). Not everything in life is as easy as drag and drop
I more-so replied to your comment for context - most people aren’t going to know wtf mysql2 and mysqljs are, and assume you just drop it into a folder and run.
This is a wrapper for a wrapper so it’s a bit weird.
