JugglingDB is cross-db ORM for nodejs, providing common interface to access most popular database formats. Currently supported are: mysql, sqlite3, postgres, mongodb, redis and js-memory-storage (yep, self-written engine for test-usage only). You can add your favorite database adapter, checkout one of the existing adapters to learn how.
Jugglingdb also works on client-side (using WebService and Memory adapters), which allows to write rich client-side apps talking to server using JSON API.
npm install jugglingdb
and you should install appropriate adapter, for example for redis:
npm install jugglingdb-redis-hq

If you want to create your own jugglingdb adapter, you should publish your
adapter package with name jugglingdb-ADAPTERNAME. Creating adapter is simple,
check jugglingdb/redis-adapter for example. JugglingDB core
exports common tests each adapter should pass, you could create your adapter in
TDD style, check that adapter pass all tests defined in test/common_test.js.
var Schema = require('jugglingdb').Schema;
var schema = new Schema('redis', {port: 6379}); //port number depends on your configuration
// define models
var Post = schema.define('Post', {
title: { type: String, length: 255 },
content: { type: Schema.Text },
date: { type: Date, default: function () { return new Date;} },
timestamp: { type: Number, default: Date.now },
published: { type: Boolean, default: false, index: true }
});
// simplier way to describe model
var User = schema.define('User', {
name: String,
bio: Schema.Text,
approved: Boolean,
joinedAt: Date,
age: Number
}, {
restPath: '/users' // tell WebService adapter which path use as API endpoint
});
var Group = schema.define('Group', {name: String});
// define any custom method
User.prototype.getNameAndAge = function () {
return this.name + ', ' + this.age;
};
// models also accessible in schema:
schema.models.User;
schema.models.Post;SEE schema(3) for details schema usage.
// setup relationships
User.hasMany(Post, {as: 'posts', foreignKey: 'userId'});
// creates instance methods:
// user.posts(conds)
// user.posts.build(data) // like new Post({userId: user.id});
// user.posts.create(data) // build and save
Post.belongsTo(User, {as: 'author', foreignKey: 'userId'});
// creates instance methods:
// post.author(callback) -- getter when called with function
// post.author() -- sync getter when called without params
// post.author(user) -- setter when called with object
User.hasAndBelongsToMany('groups');
// user.groups(callback) - get groups of user
// user.groups.create(data, callback) - create new group and connect with user
// user.groups.add(group, callback) - connect existing group with user
// user.groups.remove(group, callback) - remove connection between group and user
schema.automigrate(); // required only for mysql and postgres NOTE: it will drop User and Post tables
// work with models:
var user = new User;
user.save(function (err) {
var post = user.posts.build({title: 'Hello world'});
post.save(console.log);
});
// or just call it as function (with the same result):
var user = User();
user.save(...);
// Common API methods
// each method returns promise, or may accept callback as last param
// just instantiate model
new Post({ published: 0, userId: 1 });
// save model (of course async)
Post.create();
// all posts
Post.all();
// all posts by user
Post.all({ where: { userId: user.id }, order: 'id', limit: 10, skip: 20 });
// the same as prev
user.posts(cb)
// get one latest post
Post.findOne({ where: { published: true }, order: 'date DESC' });
// same as new Post({userId: user.id});
user.posts.build({ published: 1 });
// save as Post.create({userId: user.id});
user.posts.create();
// find instance by id
User.find(1);
// find instance by id and reject promise when not found
User.fetch(1)
.then(user => console.log('found user', user))
.catch(err => console.error('can not fetch user with id 1:', err));
// count instances
User.count([conditions])
// destroy instance
user.destroy();
// destroy all instances
User.destroyAll();
// update multiple instances (currently only on the sql adapters)
Post.bulkUpdate({ update: { published: 0 }, where: { id: [1, 2, 3] }});
// update single instance
Post.update(1, { published: 1 });SEE model(3) for more information about
jugglingdb Model API. Or man jugglingdb-model in terminal.
// Setup validations
User.validatesPresenceOf('name', 'email')
User.validatesLengthOf('password', {min: 5, message: {min: 'Password is too short'}});
User.validatesInclusionOf('gender', {in: ['male', 'female']});
User.validatesExclusionOf('domain', {in: ['www', 'billing', 'admin']});
User.validatesNumericalityOf('age', {int: true});
User.validatesUniquenessOf('email', {message: 'email is not unique'});
user.isValid(function (valid) {
if (!valid) {
user.errors // hash of errors {attr: [errmessage, errmessage, ...], attr: ...}
}
})SEE ALSO jugglingdb-validations(3) or
man jugglingdb-validations in terminal. Validation tests: ./test/validations.test.js
The following hooks supported:
- afterInitialize
- beforeCreate
- afterCreate
- beforeSave
- afterSave
- beforeUpdate
- afterUpdate
- beforeDestroy
- afterDestroy
- beforeValidate
- afterValidate
Each callback is class method of the model, it should accept single argument: next, this is callback which should be called after end of the hook. Except afterInitialize because this method is syncronous (called after new Model).
During beforehooks the next callback accepts one argument, which is used to terminate flow. The argument passed on as the err parameter to the API method callback.
var user = new User;
// afterInitialize
user.save(callback); // If Model.id isn't set, save will invoke Model.create() instead
// beforeValidate
// afterValidate
// beforeSave
// beforeUpdate
// afterUpdate
// afterSave
// callback
user.updateAttribute('email', '[email protected]', callback);
// beforeValidate
// afterValidate
// beforeSave
// beforeUpdate
// afterUpdate
// afterSave
// callback
user.destroy(callback);
// beforeDestroy
// afterDestroy
// callback
User.create(data, callback);
// beforeValidate
// afterValidate
// beforeCreate
// beforeSave
// afterSave
// afterCreate
// callbackSEE jugglingdb-hooks or type this command
in your fav terminal: man jugglingdb-hooks. Also check tests for usage
examples: ./test/hooks.test.js
To use custom adapter, pass it's package name as first argument to Schema constructor:
var mySchema = new Schema('mycouch', {host:.., port:...});
In that case your adapter should be named as 'jugglingdb-mycouch' npm package.
TODO: upd this section
Core of jugglingdb tests only basic features (database-agnostic) like
validations, hooks and runs db-specific tests using memory storage. It also
exports complete bucket of tests for external running. Each adapter should run
this bucket (example from jugglingdb-redis):
var jdb = require('jugglingdb'),
Schema = jdb.Schema,
test = jdb.test;
var schema = new Schema(__dirname + '/..', {host: 'localhost', database: 1});
test(module.exports, schema);
Each adapter could add specific tests to standart bucket:
test.it('should do something special', function (test) {
test.done();
});
Or it could tell core to skip some test from bucket:
test.skip('name of test case');
To run tests use this command:
npm test
Before running make sure you've installed package (npm install) and if you
running some specific adapter tests, ensure you've configured database
correctly (host, port, username, password).
If you have found a bug please try to write unit test before reporting. Before submit pull request make sure all tests still passed. Check roadmap, github issues if you want to help.
