# Thinky
===============================
Wercker status
Light Node.js ORM for RethinkDB.

### Quick start

Install:

```
npm install thinky
```

Use:

```javascript
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.

```js
// 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: "[email protected]"
});

// 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: "[email protected]"
}
}
*/
});
```

Retrieve the post with its author.

```js
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: "[email protected]"
}
}
*/
});
```
