## Joist

An opinionated ORM for TypeScript/node/postgres.

### Goals

- Schema-driven code generation (continually-generated classes w/the getter/setter/relation boilerplate)

- Guaranteed N+1 safe (pervasive use of Facebook's [dataloader](https://github.com/graphql/dataloader)

- All relations are async/await (with an ergonomic, type-safe escape hatch)

- Great performance (all `SELECT`/`INSERT`/`UPDATE` operations are bulk)

- Fast tests (for downstream projects, baseline is 10-20ms/test case)

- Unit of Work (navigate between entities as a consistent graph)

### Documentation

See [joist-orm.io](https://joist-orm.io) for documentation.
