Escape function before connection

[wviveiro]

Hi there!

I am creating a small library to help me building my mysql queries. The goal is to build the query through series of functions and then be able to output the query ready. Once it is ready, I execute query(mystring). However I noticed that I can't run mysql.getClient() before running mysql.connect() and therefore, I can't get the escape function from mysql.getClient().escape

TLDR

Can you please export the function escape from require('mysql')? On this way I don't have to mysql.connect() and mysql.getClient() to use the function.

Thanks!
