[nukak](https://nukak.org) is the [smartest ORM](https://medium.com/@rogerpadillac/in-search-of-the-perfect-orm-e01fcc9bce3d) for TypeScript, it is designed to be fast, safe, and easy to integrate into any application.
[nukak](https://nukak.org) can run in Node.js, Browser, Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, Expo, Electron, Bun and Deno.
[nukak](https://nukak.org) has a consistent API for distinct databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite.
```ts
const companyUsers = await userRepository.findMany({
$select: { email: true, profile: ['picture'] },
$where: { email: { $endsWith: '@example.com' } },
$sort: { createdAt: -1 },
$limit: 100,
});
```
## Why nukak?
See [this article](https://medium.com/@rogerpadillac/in-search-of-the-perfect-orm-e01fcc9bce3d) in medium.com.
## Features
- **Type-safe and Context-aware queries**: squeeze the powers of `TypeScript` so it auto-completes and validates, the appropriate operators on any level of the queries, [including the relations and their fields](https://www.nukak.org/docs/querying-relations).
- **Serializable queries**: its [syntax](https://nukak.org/docs/querying-logical-operators) can be `100%` valid `JSON` allowing the queries to be transported across platforms with ease.
- **Unified API across Databases**: same query is transparently transformed according to the configured database.
- **FP + OOP**: Combines the best elements of `FP` (Functional Programming) and `OOP` (Object Oriented Programming).
- [Declarative](https://nukak.org/docs/transactions-declarative) and [imperative](https://nukak.org/docs/transactions-imperative) `transactions` for flexibility, and `connection pooling` for scalability.
- Transparent support for [inheritance between entities](https://nukak.org/docs/entities-inheritance) for reusability and consistency.
- Modern [Pure ESM](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c): `ESM` is natively supported by Node.js 16 and later.
- **High performance**: the [generated queries](https://www.nukak.org/docs/querying-logical-operators) are fast, safe, and human-readable.
- Supports the [Data Mapper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mapper_pattern) pattern for maintainability.
- [soft-delete](https://nukak.org/docs/entities-soft-delete), [virtual fields](https://nukak.org/docs/entities-virtual-fields), [repositories](https://nukak.org/docs/querying-repository).
- Automatic handing of `json`, `jsonb` and `vector` fields.
## 1. Install
1. Install the core package:
```sh
npm install nukak --save
```
2. Install one of the specific adapters for your database:
| Database | Driver | Nukak Adapter |
| ------------ | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| `PostgreSQL` | `pg` | `nukak-postgres` |
| `SQLite` | `sqlite sqlite3` | `nukak-sqlite` |
| `MariaDB` | `mariadb` | `nukak-maria` |
| `MySQL` | `mysql2` | `nukak-mysql` |
For example, for `Postgres`:
```sh
npm install pg nukak-postgres --save
```
3. Additionally, your `tsconfig.json` may need the following flags:
```json
"target": "es2022",
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true
```
---
## 2. Define the entities
Take any dump class (aka DTO) and annotate it with the decorators from `nukak/entity`.
```ts
import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';
import { Id, Field, Entity } from 'nukak/entity';
/**
* any class can be annotated with this decorator to make it works as
* an entity.
*/
@Entity()
export class User {
/**
* an entity must specify an ID Field, its name and type are automatically detected.
* the `onInsert` property can be used to specify a custom mechanism for
* auto-generating the primary-key's value when inserting.
*/
@Id({ onInsert: () => randomUUID })
id?: string;
/**
* the properties of the class can be annotated with this decorator so they
* are interpreted as a column, its name and type are automatically detected.
*/
@Field()
name?: string;
/**
* fields are `updatable: true` by default but can also be marked as `updatable: false` so they can only be inserted and read after.
*/
@Field({ updatable: false })
email?: string;
/**
* fields are `eager: true` by default but can also be marked as `eager: false` (aka lazy fields).
*/
@Field({ eager: false })
password?: string;
}
```
## 3. Setup a querier-pool
A querier-pool can be set in any of the bootstrap files of your app (e.g. in the `server.ts`).
```ts
// file: ./shared/orm.ts
import { PgQuerierPool } from 'nukak-postgres';
export const querierPool = new PgQuerierPool(
{
host: 'localhost',
user: 'theUser',
password: 'thePassword',
database: 'theDatabase',
},
// optionally, a logger can be passed to log the generated SQL queries
{ logger: console.debug },
);
```
## 4. Manipulate the data
```ts
import { querierPool } from './shared/orm.js';
import { User } from './shared/models/index.js';
async function findLastUsers(limit = 100) {
const querier = await querierPool.getQuerier();
const users = await querier.findMany(User, {
$select: { id: true, name: true, email: true },
$sort: { createdAt: 'desc' },
$limit: limit,
});
return users;
}
async function createUser(data: User) {
const querier = await querierPool.getQuerier();
const id = await querier.insertOne(User, data);
return id;
}
```
