bookshelf.js

Bookshelf is a Node.js ORM with support for PostgreSQL, MySQL / MariaDB, and SQLite3.

It is built atop the Knex Query Builder, and is strongly influenced by the Model and Collection foundations of Backbone.js.

It features transaction support, one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many, and polymorphic relations.

Examples

We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:

var knex = require('knex')({client: 'mysql', connection: process.env.MYSQL_DATABASE_CONNECTION });
var bookshelf = require('bookshelf')(knex);

var User = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'users'
  messages: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Posts);
  }
});

var Posts = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'messages',
  tags: function() {
    return this.belongsToMany(Tag);
  }
});

var Tag = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'tags'
})

User.where('id', 1).fetch({withRelated: ['posts.tags']}).then(function(user) {

  console.log(user.related('posts').toJSON());

}).catch(function(err) {

  console.error(err);

});
