Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default
✓ import orm from 'orm-model'
✗ const orm = require('orm-model')
ESM vs CJS: package does not ship ESM; default import only works with bundlers. Use require() in Node <v14.
orm.model()
✓ import orm from 'orm-model'; orm.model('Bird')
Access models after connect().
orm.connection()
✓ import orm from 'orm-model'; orm.connection('seq-db')
Returns the ORM connection instance.

Shows setup of connectors, model loading, and basic model usage.

import orm from 'orm-model'; // configure connectors at config/connectors.js orm.connect({ connectorsPath: 'config/connectors.js', modelsPath: 'app/models' }); // after connection, access model const Bird = orm.model('bird'); Bird.create({ name: 'Fluppy' }, (err, data) => { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log('Bird created:', data); });

Known issues
deprecatedPackage last updated in 2015, no maintenance for over 8 years.
fix
Consider alternatives like sequelize-cli or mongoose schemas directly.
affects: 0.x
gotchaOnly supports mongoose and sequelize; other ORMs are not configurable.
fix
Verify your ORM is supported before adoption.
affects: >=0.1.0
breakingExpects config files at hardcoded paths (config/connectors.js, app/models) unless overridden.
fix
Always specify connectorsPath and modelsPath in orm.connect().
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaNo TypeScript definitions or type checking; runtime errors for missing models.
fix
Wrap model access in try/catch or check existence with orm.models().
affects: >=0.1.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: Cannot find module 'orm-model'
Package not installed or missing from node_modules.
fix
npm install orm-model --save
TypeError: orm.connect is not a function
Incorrect import (ESM vs CJS) or wrong module scope.
fix
Use correct import: const orm = require('orm-model'); or import orm from 'orm-model'; if using ESM bundler.
Error: No connector defined for model 'Bird'
Connector name in model definition does not match connectors configuration.
fix
Check connectorsPath file and ensure connector key matches 'connector' field in model file.
