I have been checking for the connectivity of MariaDB, with Sequelize.

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');

// Setting up database (MariaDB) connection
const sequelize = new Sequelize('dbName', 'usr', 'pass', {
  host: 'localhost',
  dialect: 'mariadb'
});

But I am getting the following error:

/home/lt-196/api/node_modules/sequelize/lib/sequelize.js:236
        throw new Error('The dialect ' + this.getDialect() + ' is not supported. Supported dialects: mssql, mysql, postgres, and sqlite.');
        ^

Error: The dialect mariadb is not supported. Supported dialects: mssql, mysql, postgres, and sqlite.

MariaDB For MariaDB patibility you have to install the package [email protected], or higher. The configuration needs to look like this:

var sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', {
  dialect: 'mariadb'
})

Or Try this:

MariaSQL: https://www.npmjs./package/mariasql

A node.js binding to MariaDB's non-blocking (MySQL-patible) client library.

var Client = require('mariasql');

var c = new Client({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  user: 'foo',
  password: 'bar'
});

c.query('SHOW DATABASES', function(err, rows) {
  if (err)
    throw err;
  console.dir(rows);
});

c.end();

MariaSQL is remended.

NPM

    npm install --save mariadb
    npm install --save sequelize@next

Yarn

    yarn add mariadb
    yarn add sequelize@next

  const Sequelize = require('sequelize'),
    sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env.db_name, process.env.db_user, process.env.db_pass, {
    dialect: 'mariadb',
    dialectOptions: {
      socketPath: process.env.db_socket,
      timezone: process.env.db_timezone
    },
    pool: {
      min: 0,
      max: 5,
      idle: 10000
    },
    define: {
      charset: 'utf8',
      timestamps: false
    },
    benchmark: false,
    logging: false
  })
