+# TDengine Node.js connector
+This is the Node.js library that lets you connect to [TDengine](https://www.github.com/taosdata/tdengine).
+
+## Installation
+
+To get started, just type in the following to install the connector through [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
+
+```cmd
+npm install td-connector
+```
+
+To interact with TDengine, we make use of the [node-gyp[(https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp)] library. To install, you will need to install the following depending on platform (the following instructions are quoted from node-gyp)
+
+### On Unix
+
+- `python` (`v2.7` recommended, `v3.x.x` is **not** supported)
+- `make`
+- A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org)
+
+### On macOS
+
+- `python` (`v2.7` recommended, `v3.x.x` is **not** supported) (already installed on macOS)
+
+- Xcode
+
+  - You also need to install the 
+
+    ```
+    Command Line Tools
+    ```
+
+     via Xcode. You can find this under the menu 
+
+    ```
+    Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations
+    ```
+
+     (or by running 
+
+    ```
+    xcode-select --install
+    ```
+
+     in your Terminal) 
+
+    - This step will install `gcc` and the related toolchain containing `make`
+
+### On Windows
+
+#### Option 1
+
+Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's [windows-build-tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools) using `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools` from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
+
+#### Option 2
+
+Install tools and configuration manually:
+
+- Install Visual C++ Build Environment: [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools) (using "Visual C++ build tools" workload) or [Visual Studio 2017 Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/pl/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community) (using the "Desktop development with C++" workload)
+- Install [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (`v3.x.x` is not supported), and run `npm config set python python2.7` (or see below for further instructions on specifying the proper Python version and path.)
+- Launch cmd, `npm config set msvs_version 2017`
+
+If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit [Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows](https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modules) for additional tips.
+
+To target native ARM64 Node.js on Windows 10 on ARM, add the  components "Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM64" and "Visual  C++ ATL for ARM64".
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the connector, first request the library ```td-connector```. Running the function ```taos.connect``` with the connection options passed in as an object will return a TDengine connection object. A cursor needs to be intialized in order to interact with TDengine from node.
+
+```javascript
+const taos = require('td-connector');
+var conn = taos.connect({host:"127.0.0.1", user:"root", password:"taosdata", config:"/etc/taos",port:0})
+var c1 = conn.cursor(); // Initializing a new cursor
+```
+
+We can now start executing queries through the ```cursor.execute``` function.
+
+```javascript
+c1.execute('show databases;')
+```
+
+We can get the results of the queries by doing the following
+
+```javascript
+var data = c1.fetchall();
+console.log(c1.fieldNames); // Returns the names of the columns/fields
+console.log(data); // Logs all the data from the query as an array of arrays, each of which represents a row and data[row_number] is sorted in order of the fields
+```
+
+## Example
+
+The following is an example use of the connector showing how to make a table with weather data, insert random data, and then retrieve it.
+
+```javascript
+// Get the td-connector package
+const taos = require('td-connector');
+
+/* We will connect to TDengine by passing an object comprised of connection options to taos.connect and store the
+ * connection to the variable conn
+ */
+/*
+ * Connection Options
+ * host: the host to connect to
+ * user: the use to login as
+ * password: the password for the above user to login
+ * config: the location of the taos.cfg file, by default it is in /etc/taos
+ * port: the port we connect through
+ */
+var conn = taos.connect({host:"127.0.0.1", user:"root", password:"taosdata", config:"/etc/taos",port:0});
+
+// Initialize our TDengineCursor, which we use to interact with TDengine
+var c1 = conn.cursor();
+
+// c1.execute(query) will execute the query
+// Let's create a database named db
+try {
+  c1.execute('create database db;');
+}
+catch(err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Now we will use database db
+try {
+  c1.execute('use db;');
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Let's create a table called weather
+// which stores some weather data like humidity, AQI (air quality index), temperature, and some notes as text
+try {
+  c1.execute('create table if not exists weather (ts timestamp, humidity smallint, aqi int, temperature float, notes binary(30));');
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Let's get the description of the table weather
+try {
+  c1.execute('describe db.weather');
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// To get results, we run the function c1.fetchall()
+// It only returns the query results as an array of result rows, but also stores the latest results in c1.data
+try {
+  var tableDesc = c1.fetchall(); // The description variable here is equal to c1.data;
+  console.log(tableDesc);
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Let's try to insert some random generated data to test with
+
+let stime = new Date();
+let interval = 1000;
+
+// Timestamps must be in the form of "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM" if they are in milliseconds
+//                                   "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMMMMM" if they are in microseconds
+// Thus, we create the following function to convert a javascript Date object to the correct formatting
+function convertDateToTS(date) {
+  let tsArr = date.toISOString().split("T")
+  return "\"" + tsArr[0] + " " + tsArr[1].substring(0, tsArr[1].length-1) + "\"";
+}
+
+try {
+  for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
+    stime.setMilliseconds(stime.getMilliseconds() + interval);
+    let insertData = [convertDateToTS(stime),
+                      parseInt(Math.random()*100),
+                      parseInt(Math.random()*300),
+                      parseFloat(Math.random()*10 + 30),
+                      "\"random note!\""];
+    c1.execute('insert into db.weather values(' + insertData.join(',') + ' );');
+  }
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Now let's look at our newly inserted data
+var retrievedData;
+try {
+  c1.execute('select * from db.weather;')
+  retrievedData = c1.fetchall();
+
+  // c1.fieldNames stores the names of each column retrieved
+  console.log(c1.fieldNames);
+  console.log(retrievedData);
+  // timestamps retrieved are always JS Date Objects
+  // Numbers are numbers, big ints are big ints, and strings are strings
+}
+catch (err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+// Let's try running some basic functions
+try {
+  c1.execute('select count(*), avg(temperature), max(temperature), min(temperature), stddev(temperature) from db.weather;')
+  c1.fetchall();
+  console.log(c1.fieldNames);
+  console.log(c1.data);
+}
+catch(err) {
+  conn.close();
+  throw err;
+}
+
+conn.close();
