Install FaunaDB driver: FaunaDB provides drivers in multiple languages, and you can choose the corresponding driver to install according to your own language. Taking Node.js as an example, run the following command in your project to install the FaunaDB driver: shell npm install faunadb Through the above steps, you have completed the installation and basic settings of FaunaDB. Next, we will introduce how to create a data table and implement data addition, deletion, modification, and query. 1. Create a data table: In FaunaDB, you can use classes to define data tables. In the GraphQL tab of the console, you can use Fauna's FQL (Fauna Query Language) to create new classes. The following is an example FQL statement used to create a data table named 'users': graphql CreateClass({ name: "users" }) You can execute the above FQL statements in the console to create a data table. 2. Data insertion: In FaunaDB, you can use the Create function to insert new data into the data table. The following is an example FQL statement used to insert a new user record into the "users" data table: graphql Create(Class("users"), { data: { name: "John", age: 25 }}) You can execute the above FQL statements in the console to insert data. 3. Data modification: FaunaDB allows you to use the Update function to update existing data. The following is an example FQL statement used to update the user record named "John" in the "users" data table with an age of 30: graphql Update(Ref(Class("users"), "record_id"), { data: { age: 30 }}) You need to replace 'record_id' with the actual record ID and execute the above FQL statement in the console to update the data. 4. Data Query: FaunaDB provides flexible and powerful query functions, allowing you to use functions such as Paginate, Match, and Get to query data according to your needs. The following is an example FQL statement used to query user records aged 30 or older in the "users" data table: graphql Map( Paginate( Match(Index("users_by_age"), 30) ), Lambda("X", Get(Var("X"))) ) You can execute the above FQL statements in the console to query data. 5. Data deletion: You can use the Delete function to delete a certain data record. The following is an example FQL statement used to delete a user record named "John" in the "users" data table: graphql Delete(Ref(Class("users"), "record_id")) You need to replace 'record_id' with the actual record ID and execute the above FQL statement in the console to delete the data. Through the above steps, you can complete the installation and use of FaunaDB, and perform data insertion, modification, query, and deletion operations. Please note that the FQL statements in the above examples are for reference only and can be adjusted according to your own needs. At the same time, you can also use the client SDK provided by FaunaDB to simplify operations.
