This is a tool that handles model creation within your Node project. When invoked, it'll create the model file and a database helper file containing commonly used operations (create, read, update and delete)
It can also link existing models using one of has-one, has-many and belongs-to-one relationships
Finally, it allows you to quickly setup multiple models using a mass-generate feature
node-construct was created to automate a lot of the repetitive stuff involved in model management, allowing you to focus more on creating your app and less of scaffolding your models
Models created using this library are Objection.js models. Migrations created are based on the Knex.js query builder
This library is meant to be a global module, so install using
