you might want to use node js that might help you interact with the server using java scriptRahul Singh– Rahul Singh2017-05-03 06:16:13 +00:00Commented May 3, 2017 at 6:16

Javascript is a client-side language, so it runs on the clients browser. If you still want to insert into mysql using javascript then you could use something like node.js which would run on the server-side.
For instance this is how an insert using node.js would look like:
var post = {id: 1, title: 'Hello MySQL'};
var query = connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET ?', post, function(err, result) {
// check result or error!
});

This is not the answer. It should be a comment
Jahangir jan, It's not possible to use client side Javascript to store something into the MySQL. But it's possible to use server side Javascript to do it.

Yes nodejs is a server side Javascript language so you can communicate with database as well.
