library3.0.1jsnpmunverified

A simple ORM for PostgreSQL built over knex.js that works with plain JavaScript objects and arrays. v3.0.1 (latest) is the current stable version, with v2 maintained via `tabel@2`. It differentiates from other ORMs by its minimal abstraction, direct use of objects/arrays, and optional Redis/mysql support. Active development includes async scoper and dynamic query chains. Breaking changes in v3 include the replacement of `autoId` with `uuid` flag.

Verified usage

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

orm
✓ const orm = require('tabel');
✗ import orm from 'tabel';
CJS only, no ESM support
Model
✓ const { Model } = require('tabel');
✗ const Model = require('tabel').Model;
Model is a named export
scoperAsync
✓ const { scoperAsync } = require('tabel');
✗ import { scoperAsync } from 'tabel';
CJS only, scoperAsync added in v3

Connect to PostgreSQL via knex, define a model, and perform a create + find operation.

const tabel = require('tabel'); const knex = require('knex')({ client: 'pg', connection: process.env.DB_URL || 'postgres://localhost/mydb' }); const orm = tabel(knex); const user = orm.define('users', { id: { type: 'uuid', auto: true }, name: { type: 'string' } }); async function main() { await user.create({ name: 'Alice' }); const users = await user.find({}); console.log(users); } main().catch(console.error);
