Thinky

=============================== Light Node.js ORM for RethinkDB.

Quick start

Install:

npm install thinky

Use:

var thinky = require('thinky')();
var type   = thinky.type;

// Create a model - the table is automatically created
var Post = thinky.createModel("Post", {
  id: String,
  title: String,
  content: String,
  idAuthor: String
}); 

// You can also add constraints on the schema
var Author = thinky.createModel("Author", {
  id: type.string(),      // a normal string
  name: type.string().min(2),  // a string of at least two characters
  email: type.string().email()  // a string that is a valid email
});

// Join the models
Post.belongsTo(Author, "author", "idAuthor", "id");

Save a new post with its author.

// Create a new post
var post = new Post({
  title: "Hello World!",
  content: "This is an example."
});

// Create a new author
var author = new Author({
  name: "Michel",
  email: "orphee@gmail.com"
});

// Join the documents
post.author = author;


post.saveAll().then(function(result) {
  /*
  post = result = {
    id: "0e4a6f6f-cc0c-4aa5-951a-fcfc480dd05a",
    title: "Hello World!",
    content: "This is an example.",
    idAuthor: "3851d8b4-5358-43f2-ba23-f4d481358901",
    author: {
      id: "3851d8b4-5358-43f2-ba23-f4d481358901",
      name: "Michel",
      email: "orphee@gmail.com"
    }
  }
  */
});

Retrieve the post with its author.

Post.get("0e4a6f6f-cc0c-4aa5-951a-fcfc480dd05a").getJoin().run().then(function(result) {
  /*
  result = {
    id: "0e4a6f6f-cc0c-4aa5-951a-fcfc480dd05a",
    title: "Hello World!",
    content: "This is an example.",
    idAuthor: "3851d8b4-5358-43f2-ba23-f4d481358901",
    author: {
      id: "3851d8b4-5358-43f2-ba23-f4d481358901",
      name: "Michel",
      email: "orphee@gmail.com"
    }
  }
  */
});
