@memberjunction/data-context-server

Server-side implementation of the MemberJunction Data Context system. Provides SQL-based data loading for DataContextItem objects using direct database connections.

Overview

The @memberjunction/data-context-server package extends the base DataContextItem class from @memberjunction/data-context with a server-side implementation that executes SQL queries directly against SQL Server using mssql connection pools. This is the server counterpart to the client-side GraphQL-based data context loading.

How It Works

The package registers DataContextItemServer as a subclass of DataContextItem using MemberJunction's @RegisterClass decorator. When server-side code creates a DataContextItem, the class factory automatically returns the server implementation that uses direct SQL execution rather than GraphQL.

import '@memberjunction/data-context-server';
// DataContextItem instances now use direct SQL execution on the server
Copy

The LoadFromSQL method:

1. Receives a SQL Server ConnectionPool as the data source
2. Creates a new Request from the pool
3. Executes the DataContextItem.SQL query directly
4. Stores the resulting recordset in DataContextItem.Data
5. Returns success/failure with error details on DataLoadingError
