Orm

A simple, yet extensible Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library that allows you to interact with any key-value databse like LevelDB or Redis. It provides a clean and well-structured JavaScript API for performing database operations like Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD), indexing, and query searches. The package extends on the @basd/encoder package and follows Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and SOLID principles, making it easy to extend and adapt to various use cases.

Features

• Lightweight and efficient.
• Extensible architecture based on @basd/encoder.
• Dynamic index management.
• Query engine for advanced searching.
• Aggregator for optimized database interactions.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install @plaindb/orm

Usage

First, import the Orm library.

import Orm from '@plaindb/orm'

or

const Orm = require('@plaindb/orm')

Basic Example

Here is a simple example to demonstrate CRUD operations using the ORM:

const orm = new Orm(storage, {
  User: {
    name: 'string',
    age: 'number'
  }
})

// Create
const user = await orm.create('User', {
  name: 'John Doe',
  age: 30
})

// Update
await orm.update('User', user.id, {
  age: 31
})

// Read
const fetchedUser = await orm.read('User', user.id)

// Delete
await orm.delete('User', user.id)

Advanced Example

This package allows more advanced use-cases, like list handling and relationships:

const orm = new Orm(storage, {
  User: {
    name: 'string',
    posts: '...Post'
  },
  Post: {
    content: 'string'
  }
})

const user = await orm.create('User', {
  name: 'John',
  posts: [
    { content: 'First Post' },
    { content: 'Second Post' }
  ]
})

Extending

Since the library follows OOP principles, you can easily extend it. For example, to add a new query operation:

class CustomOrmModel extends OrmModel {
  constructor(type, fields, config, codex) {
    super(type, fields, config, codex)
    // Custom logic
  }
  customFind(query) {
    // Custom find logic
  }
}

Configuration Options

The Orm constructor accepts a configuration object that includes the following options:

• classes: Define custom classes for models, fields, lists, etc.
• parseField: A function to parse field definitions.
• props: Define id, created, and updated property names.

Documentation

• API Reference

OrmModel

The OrmModel class encapsulates an entity type in the database. It allows you to perform CRUD operations, as well as indexing and searching.

Methods

• create(data): Creates a new entity.
• update(id, update): Updates an existing entity by its ID.
• delete(id): Deletes an entity by its ID.
• read(id): Fetches an entity by its ID.

Orm

The Orm class serves as a manager for different types of models and contains utility methods for global operations.

Methods

• create(type, data): Creates a new entity of a given type.
• update(type, id, update): Updates an existing entity of a given type.
• delete(type, id): Deletes an entity of a given type.
• read(type, id): Reads an entity of a given type.

Tests

In order to run the test suite, simply clone the repository and install its dependencies:
