# feathers-objection
[](https://travis-ci.org/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-objection)
[](https://coveralls.io/github/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-objection?branch=master)
[](https://github.com/standard/semistandard)

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/feathers-objection)
[Feathers](https://feathersjs.com/) database adapter for
[Objection.js](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js), an ORM based on
[KnexJS](https://knexjs.org/) SQL query builder for Postgres, Redshift, MSSQL, MySQL,
MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle.
## Installation
```
npm install --save feathers-objection
npm install --save objection
npm install --save knex
```
Then add one of the following:
```
npm install --save pg
npm install --save sqlite3
npm install --save mysql
npm install --save mysql2
npm install --save oracle
npm install --save mssql
```
If you want to use a MariaDB instance, you can use the mysql driver.
### [Feathers CLI](https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers/tree/master/packages/cli)
Use `feathers generate service` command to generate a new `Objection` service.
## Documentation
Please refer to the
[Feathers database adapter documentation](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/adapters.html)
for more details or directly at:
- [Querying](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/querying.html) - The
common adapter querying mechanism
- [Pagination and Sorting](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/common.html#pagination) -
How to use pagination and sorting for the database adapter
- [Extending](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/common.html#extending-adapters) -
How to extend a database adapter
Refer to the official
[Objection.js documention](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/).
It works like the
[Knex service](https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-knex) adapter,
except it has all the benefits of the Objection ORM.
### [Initializing the Library](https://knexjs.org/#Installation-client)
config/defaults.json
```js
{
"mysql": {
"client": "mysql2",
"connection": {
"host": "mysql.example.com",
"user": "root",
"password": "secret",
"database": "example"
}
}
}
```
objection.js
```js
const { Model } = require('objection');
module.exports = function(app) {
const { client, connection } = app.get('mysql');
const knex = require('knex')({ client, connection, useNullAsDefault: false });
Model.knex(knex);
app.set('knex', knex);
};
```
### Service Options
- `model` (**required**) - The Objection model definition.
- `id` (_optional_, default: `model.idColumn` or `'id'`) - The name of the id field property. Use
array of strings for composite primary keys.
- `events` (_optional_) - List of
[custom service events](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/events.html#custom-events)
sent by this service.
- `paginate` (_optional_) - [Pagination object](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/common.html#pagination)
containing a `default` and `max` page size.
- `multi` (_optional_) - Allow `create` with arrays and `update` and `remove`
with `id` `null` to change multiple items. Can be `true` for all methods or an
array of allowed methods (e.g. `[ 'remove', 'create' ]`).
- `whitelist` (_optional_) - List of additional query operators to allow (e.g.
`[ '$eager', '$joinRelation' ]`).
- `schema` (_optional_) - Database schema to use with all the service queries (e.g.
`public`). See [`withSchema`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/find-methods.html#withschema) documentation.
### Default Query Operators
Starting at version 2.0.0 `feathers-objection` converts queries securely. If you
want to support additional Objection operators, the `whitelist` service option
can contain an array of additional allowed operators. By default, supported
operators are:
```
'$eq',
'$ne',
'$gte',
'$gt',
'$lte',
'$lt',
'$in',
'$nin',
'$like',
'$notLike',
'$ilike',
'$notILike',
'$or',
'$and',
'$sort',
'$not'
```
### Eager Queries
Eager queries is one way of solving the SQL database relational model in
Feathers services, instead of relying on hooks.
#### Service Options
Note that all this eager related options are optional.
- **`allowedEager`** - relation expression to limit the allowed eager queries in
the service. Defaults to `'[]'`, meaning no eager queries allowed. See
[`allowGraph`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#allowgraph)
documentation.
- **`eagerOptions`** - options object to use with `$eager` and `$joinEager` query operators.
See [`GraphOptions`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-graphoptions)
documentation.
- **`eagerFilters`** - option to impose compulsory eager filter. It takes an
object or array of objects with the following properties:
- `expression` - the relation expression that the filter will be applied.
- `filter` - the filter function. It uses
[`modifyGraph`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#modifygraph)
internally.
#### Query Operators
- **`$modify`** - modifiers allow you to easily reuse snippets of query logic. you can pass arguments and use
multiple modifiers. value can be one of the following:
- String with comma-separated modifier names. e.g. `modifier1,modifier2`
- Array or serialized array with modifier name or array of modifier names as the first item. The rest of the array items would be the modifier/s arguments.
e.g. `['modifier1', arg1, arg2]` or `[['modifier1', 'modifier2'], arg1, arg2]`
- Object or serialized object with modifiers as keys and their arguments as values. Set modifier's value to `true` when it has no arguments.
e.g. `{ modifier1: [arg1, arg2], modifier2: [arg3, arg4], modifier3: true }`
See [`modify`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/other-methods.html#modify) documentation.
- **`$eager`** - eager load relations defined in models' `relationMappings` getter methods. See
[`withGraphFetched`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#withgraphfetched) documentation.
- **`$joinRelation`** - filter based on a relation's field. use with `$eager` to also fetch the relation. See
[`joinRelated`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/join-methods.html#joinrelated)
documentation.
- **`$leftJoinRelation`** - filter based on a relation's field using LEFT JOIN. use with `$eager` to also fetch the relation. See
[`leftJoinRelated`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/join-methods.html#leftjoinrelated)
documentation.
- **`$joinEager`** - filter based on a relation's field. See
[`withGraphJoined`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#withgraphjoined)
documentation.
- **`$modifyEager`** - filter relation based on a relation's field. does not support JSON fields.
e.g. `companies.find({ query: { $eager: 'employees', $modifyEager: { employees: { name: 'John' } } } })`
- **`$mergeEager`** - merge an eager expression to `$eager`,
e.g. `companies.find({ query: { $eager: 'employees', $mergeEager: 'ceos' } })`
- **`$allowRefs`** - allow the usage of `ref` keyword to reference another field. Reference a relation's field using `$joinEager` or `$joinRelation`,
e.g. `companies.find({ query: { name: 'ref(size)', $allowRefs: true } })`, `employees.find({ query: { $joinEager: 'company', 'company.name': 'ref(employees.name)', $allowRefs: true } })`. See
[`ref`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/objection/#ref) documentation.
- **`$select`** - add SELECT statement with given array of column names, e.g. `['name', 'ref(jsonb:a)', 'ref(jsonb:a) as a']`. See
[`select`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/find-methods.html#select)
and [`FieldExpression`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-fieldexpression) documentation.
- **`$sort`** - add an order by clause to the query, e.g. `query: { $sort: { a: 1, 'b.c': -1, 'ref(jsonb:a)': 1 } }`. See
[`FieldExpression`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-fieldexpression) documentation.
- **`$noSelect`** - skips SELECT queries in create, patch & remove requests. response data will be based on the input data.
- **`$null`** - filter based on if a column is NULL with REST support, e.g. `companies.find({ query: { ceo: { $null: false } } })`, `companies.find({ query: { ceo: { $null: 'false' } } })`
- **`$not`** - filter based on if a query is NOT true. It can be used with an object `$not: { name: { $in: ['craig', 'tim'] } }` or array `$not: [ { $id: 1 }, { $id: 2 } ]`
- **`$between`** - filter based on if a column value is between range of values
- **`$notBetween`** - filter based on if a column value is not between range of values
- **`$like`** - filter column value based on a LIKE pattern
- **`$notLike`** - filter column value based on a NOT LIKE pattern
- **`$regexp`** - filter column value based on a REGEXP pattern
- **`$notRegexp`** - filter column value based on a NOT REGEXP pattern
- **`$ilike`** - (Postgres) filter column value based on a case-insensitive LIKE pattern
- **`$notILike`** - (Postgres) filter column value based on a case-insensitive NOT LIKE pattern
- **`$iRegexp`** - (Postgres) filter column value based on a case-insensitive REGEXP pattern
- **`$notIRegexp`** - (Postgres) filter column value based on a case-insensitive NOT REGEXP pattern
- **`$containsKey`** (Postgres) - filter based on if a column contains a key
- **`$any`** (Postgres) - filter based on if a column contains any key from array of strings
- **`$all`** (Postgres) - filter based on if a column contains all keys from array of strings
- **`$contains`** (Postgres) - filter based on if a column contains all values from array of values
- **`$contained`** (Postgres) - filter based on if a column is contained within a serialized object
#### Params Operators
- **`transaction`** - A transaction object. See
[`transaction`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/objection/#transaction)
documentation.
- **`atomic`** - when `true` ensure that multi create or graph insert/upsert success or fail all at once. Under the hood, automatically create a transaction and commit on success or rollback on partial or total failure. __Ignored__ if you added your own `transaction` object in params.
- **`mergeAllowEager`** - Will merge the given expression to the existing expression from the `allowEager` service option.
See [`allowGraph`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#allowgraph)
documentation.
- **`eagerOptions`** - Options object to use with `$eager` and `$joinEager` query operators.
merges on top of the `eagerOptions` service option.
See [`GraphOptions`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-graphoptions)
documentation.
- **`schema`** - Database schema to use with the query (e.g. `public`)
See [`withSchema`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/find-methods.html#withschema)
documentation.
- **`modifierFiltersResults`** - when `false` the `total` count of a `find()` query is calculated from the original result set, ignoring the `count` of any `$modify` query.
The default behaviour is to apply the count of the modifier to the result total, assuming that the modifier may influence the result total by filtering the result set. This can be used to workaround issues with `groupBy` and the result count. See [this issue](https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-objection/issues/102) for a detailed explanation.
### Composite primary keys
Composite primary keys can be passed as the `id` argument using the following
methods:
- String with values separated by the `idSeparator` property (order matter,
recommended for REST)
- JSON array (order matter, recommended for internal service calls)
- JSON object (more readable, recommended for internal service calls)
When calling a service method with the `id` argument, all primary keys are
required to be passed.
#### Service Options
- **`idSeparator`** - (optional) separator char to separate composite primary
keys in the `id` argument of get/patch/update/remove external service calls.
Defaults to `','`.
```js
app.use('/user-todos', service({
id: ['userId', 'todoId'],
idSeparator: ','
})
app.service('/user-todos').get('1,2')
app.service('/user-todos').get([1, 2])
app.service('/user-todos').get({ userId: 1, todoId: 2 })
```
### JSON column
JSON column will be automatically converted from and to JS object/array and will
be saved as text in unsupported databases. it must be defined in the model class.
Query against a JSON column in PostgresSQL:
```js
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { stringField: 'string' }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { numberField: 1.5 }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { numberField: { $gt: 1.5 } }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { 'objectField.object': 'string in obj.objectField.object' }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { 'arrayField(0).object': 'string in obj.arrayField[0].object' }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
arr: { '(0).objectField.object': 'string in arr[0].objectField.object' }
}
});
app.service('companies').find({
query: {
obj: { "(field.WithDot)": 'string' }
}
});
```
### Graph upsert
Arbitrary relation graphs can be upserted (insert + update + delete) using the
upsertGraph method. See
[`examples`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/guide/query-examples.html#graph-upserts) for a better explanation.
Runs on `update` and `patch` service methods when `id` is set. When the `data` object also contains `id`, then both must be the same or an error is thrown.
#### Service Options
- **`allowedUpsert`** - relation expression to allow relations to be upserted
along with update. Defaults to `null`, meaning relations will not be
automatically upserted unless specified here. See
[`allowGraph`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#allowgraph)
documentation.
- **`upsertGraphOptions`** - See
[`upsertGraphOptions`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-upsertgraphoptions)
documentation.
- **`createUseUpsertGraph`** - If set to `true`, Graph Upsert will also be used
for `.create(data, params)` method instead of Graph Insert.
```js
app.use('/companies', service({
model: Company,
allowedEager: 'clients',
allowedUpsert: 'clients'
})
app.service('/companies').update(1, {
name: 'New Name',
clients: [{
id: 100,
name: 'Existing Client'
}, {
name: 'New Client'
}]
})
```
In the example above, we are updating the name of an existing company, along
with adding a new client which is a relationship for companies. The client
without the ID would be inserted and related. The client with the ID will just
be updated (if there are any changes at all).
#### Params Operators
- **`mergeAllowUpsert`** - Merge given expression into `allowedUpsert`.
- **`mergeUpsertGraphOptions`** - Merge given options into `upsertGraphOptions`.
### Graph insert
Arbitrary relation graphs can be inserted using the insertGraph method. Provides
the ability to relate the inserted object with its associations.
Runs on the `.create(data, params)` service method.
#### Service Options
- **`allowedInsert`** - relation expression to allow relations to be created
along with insert. Defaults to `null`, meaning relations will not be
automatically created unless specified here. See
[`allowGraph`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/query-builder/eager-methods.html#allowgraph)
documentation.
- **`insertGraphOptions`** - See
[`insertGraphOptions`](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/types/#type-insertgraphoptions)
documentation.
#### Params Operators
- **`mergeAllowInsert`** - Merge given expression into `allowedInsert`.
- **`mergeInsertGraphOptions`** - Merge given options into `insertGraphOptions`.
### Transaction
[Create a transaction](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/guide/transactions.html#creating-a-transaction)
object and pass it to series of service calls using the `transaction` params operator.
Commit the transaction by calling `await transaction.trx.commit()`.
Rollback by calling `await transaction.trx.rollback()`.
### Service
users.service.js
```js
const createService = require('feathers-objection');
const createModel = require('../../models/users.model');
const hooks = require('./users.hooks');
module.exports = function(app) {
const Model = createModel(app);
const paginate = app.get('paginate');
const options = {
model: Model,
paginate,
whitelist: ['$eager', '$joinRelation'],
allowedEager: 'todos'
};
app.use('/users', createService(options));
const service = app.service('users');
service.hooks(hooks);
};
```
todos.service.js
```js
const createService = require('feathers-objection');
const createModel = require('../../models/todos.model');
const hooks = require('./todos.hooks');
module.exports = function(app) {
const Model = createModel(app);
const paginate = app.get('paginate');
const options = {
model: Model,
paginate,
whitelist: ['$eager', '$joinRelation'],
allowedEager: '[user, subtask]',
eagerFilters: [
{
expression: 'subtask',
filter: function(builder) {
builder.where('archived', true);
}
}
]
};
app.use('/todos', createService(options));
const service = app.service('todos');
service.hooks(hooks);
};
```
Use eager queries as follows:
```js
// Get all todos and their unfinished tasks
app.service('/todos').find({
query: {
$eager: 'subtask(unDone)'
}
});
// Get all todos of an active user with firstName 'John'
app.service('/todos').find({
query: {
'user.firstName': 'John',
$eager: 'user(active)',
$joinRelation: 'user(active)'
}
});
```
See
[this article](https://www.vincit.fi/blog/nested-eager-loading-and-inserts-with-objection-js/)
for more information.
### Models
Objection requires you to define
[Models](https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/api/model/#models) with [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/) format for your tables:
users.model.js
```js
const { Model } = require('objection');
class User extends Model {
static get tableName() {
return 'user';
}
static get jsonSchema() {
return {
type: 'object',
required: ['firstName', 'lastName'],
properties: {
id: { type: 'integer' },
firstName: { type: 'string', maxLength: 45 },
lastName: { type: 'string', maxLength: 45 },
status: {
type: 'string',
enum: ['active', 'disabled'],
default: 'active'
},
address: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
street: { type: 'string' },
city: { type: 'string' },
zipCode: { type: 'string' }
}
},
list: {
type: 'array',
maxItems: 3,
items: { type: 'string' }
}
}
};
}
static get relationMappings() {
const Todo = require('./todos.model')();
return {
todos: {
relation: Model.HasManyRelation,
modelClass: Todo,
join: {
from: 'user.id',
to: 'todo.userId'
}
}
};
}
static get modifiers() {
return {
active: builder => {
builder.where('status', 'active');
}
};
}
$beforeInsert() {
this.createdAt = this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
$beforeUpdate() {
this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
}
module.exports = function(app) {
if (app) {
const db = app.get('knex');
db.schema
.hasTable('user')
.then(exists => {
if (!exists) {
db.schema
.createTable('user', table => {
table.increments('id');
table.string('firstName', 45);
table.string('lastName', 45);
table.enum('status', ['active', 'disabled']).defaultTo('active');
table.timestamp('createdAt');
table.timestamp('updatedAt');
})
.then(() => console.log('Created user table'))
.catch(e => console.error('Error creating user table', e));
}
})
.catch(e => console.error('Error creating user table', e));
}
return User;
};
module.exports = User;
```
todos.model.js
```js
const { Model } = require('objection');
class Todo extends Model {
static setup(app) {
this.app = app;
}
static get tableName() {
return 'todo';
}
static get jsonSchema() {
return {
type: 'object',
required: ['userId', 'text'],
properties: {
id: { type: 'integer' },
userId: { type: 'integer' },
text: { type: 'string', maxLength: 500 },
complete: { type: 'boolean', default: false },
dueDate: { type: 'string', format: 'date-time' }
}
};
}
static get relationMappings() {
const User = require('./users.model')();
return {
user: {
relation: Model.BelongsToOneRelation,
modelClass: User,
join: {
from: 'todo.userId',
to: 'user.id'
}
}
};
}
static get modifiers() {
const knex = this.app.get('knex');
return {
unDone: function(builder) {
builder.where('complete', false);
},
overdue: builder => {
builder
.where('complete', false)
.where('dueDate', '<', knex.fn.now());
}
};
}
$beforeInsert() {
this.createdAt = this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
$beforeUpdate() {
this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
}
module.exports = function(app) {
if (app) {
Todo.setup(app);
const db = app.get('knex');
db.schema
.hasTable('todo')
.then(exists => {
if (!exists) {
db.schema
.createTable('todo', table => {
table.increments('id');
table.integer('userId');
table.string('text', 500);
table.boolean('complete');
table.timestamp('dueDate');
table.timestamp('createdAt');
table.timestamp('updatedAt');
})
.then(() => console.log('Created todo table'))
.catch(e => console.error('Error creating todo table', e));
}
})
.catch(e => console.error('Error creating todo table', e));
}
return Todo;
};
```
## Complete Example
Here's a complete example of a Feathers server with a `todos` SQLite service:
`$ npm install @feathersjs/feathers @feathersjs/express body-parser feathers-objection objection knex sqlite3`
app.js
```js
const feathers = require('@feathersjs/feathers');
const express = require('@feathersjs/express');
const rest = require('@feathersjs/express/rest');
const errorHandler = require('@feathersjs/express/errors');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const createService = require('feathers-objection');
const { Model } = require('objection');
const knex = require('knex')({
client: 'sqlite3',
connection: {
filename: './db.sqlite'
},
useNullAsDefault: false
});
// Bind Objection.js
Model.knex(knex);
// Clean up our data. This is optional and is here
// because of our integration tests
knex.schema.dropTableIfExists('todo').then(function() {
console.log('Dropped todo table');
// Initialize your table
return knex.schema.createTable('todo', function(table) {
console.log('Creating todo table');
table.increments('id');
table.string('text');
table.boolean('complete');
table.timestamp('createdAt');
table.timestamp('updatedAt');
});
});
// Create a feathers instance.
const app = express(feathers())
// Enable REST services
.configure(rest())
// Turn on JSON parser for REST services
.use(bodyParser.json())
// Turn on URL-encoded parser for REST services
.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
// Create an Objection Model
class Todo extends Model {
static get tableName() {
return 'todo';
}
static get jsonSchema() {
return {
type: 'object',
required: ['text'],
properties: {
id: { type: 'integer' },
text: { type: 'string' },
complete: { type: 'boolean', default: false }
}
};
}
$beforeInsert() {
this.createdAt = this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
$beforeUpdate() {
this.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
}
}
// Create Objection Feathers service with a default page size of 2 items
// and a maximum size of 4
app.use(
'/todos',
createService({
model: Todo,
id: 'id',
paginate: {
default: 2,
max: 4
}
})
);
// Handle Errors
app.use(errorHandler());
// Start the server
module.exports = app.listen(3030);
console.log('Feathers Todo Objection service running on 127.0.0.1:3030');
```
Run the [example](https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-objection/tree/master/example) app with `npm run example` and go to
[localhost:3030/todos](http://localhost:3030/todos).
You should see an empty array. That's because you don't have any Todos yet, but
you now have full CRUD for your new todos service!
## DB migrations
[Knex Migration CLI](http://knexjs.org/#Migrations) can be used to manage DB migrations
and to [seed](http://knexjs.org/#Seeds) a table with mock data.
## Error handling
As of version 4.8.0, `feathers-objection` only throws [Feathers Errors](https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/errors.html)
with the message.
On the server, the original error can be retrieved through a secure symbol via `error[require('feathers-objection').ERROR]`.
```js
const { ERROR } = require('feathers-objection');
try {
await objectionService.doSomething();
} catch (error) {
// error is a FeathersError with just the message
// Safely retrieve the original error
const originalError = error[ERROR];
}
```
As of version 7.0.0, `feathers-objection` has normalized errors accross all databases supported by Objection, and makes a best-effort attempt to provide reasonable error messages that can be returned directly to the client.
If these error messages do not work for your needs, the original error is still available using the symbol described above.
