think-model

library1.5.4jsnpmunverified

An adapter-based ORM for ThinkJS 3.x framework, providing database access with support for MySQL and other databases via adapters. Version 1.5.4 is the latest stable release; the package is mature and has low release cadence. Key differentiators include tight integration with ThinkJS, promise-based API, and support for associations, transactions, and query building. It is limited to ThinkJS ecosystem and not a standalone ORM like Sequelize or TypeORM.

Code

Verified usage

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

thinkModel

✓ import thinkModel from 'think-model'

✗ const thinkModel = require('think-model')

ESM default import is preferred; CommonJS require also works but may cause issues with TypeScript.

thinkModel

✓ const thinkModel = require('think-model')

✗ import { thinkModel } from 'think-model'

Default export only; named import is incorrect.

Model

✓ import { Model } from 'think-model'

✗ const { Model } = require('think-model')

Model is a named export for TypeScript type definitions.

Shows how to set up think-model with MySQL adapter, define a model, and run a select query.

import thinkModel from 'think-model'; import path from 'path'; const model = thinkModel('mysql', { handle: require('think-db-mysql'), database: 'test', prefix: 'think_', encoding: 'utf8' }); // Define a user model class UserModel extends model { init(name = 'user', config = {}) { super.init(name, config); this.tableName = 'user'; } } const userModel = new UserModel(); // Query users userModel.select().then(users => { console.log(users); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaMust be used within ThinkJS 3.x framework; standalone use is not supported.

fix

Ensure your project is based on ThinkJS 3.x and think-model is loaded as a middleware.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedBuilt-in adapters like think-db-mysql are deprecated; use think-orm instead.

fix

Switch to think-orm and its adapters for future compatibility.

affects: >=1.4.0

gotchaPromise-based API; callbacks not supported.

fix

Use async/await or .then() for asynchronous operations.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingBreaking change in v1.3.0: Model constructor changed from (name, config) to (name, config, options).

fix

Update custom model constructors to include options parameter.

affects: >=1.3.0

gotchaTable prefix defined in config is not automatically applied; must use tablePrefix method.

fix

Call this.tablePrefix() in model methods to prepend prefix.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'think-db-mysql'

Missing database adapter package for MySQL.

fix

Install the adapter: npm install think-db-mysql

TypeError: model.select is not a function

Model instance not properly initialized or missing database connection.

fix

Ensure model is instantiated after calling thinkModel() and database config is correct.

ReferenceError: model is not defined

ESM import or require statement missing or incorrect.

fix

Check import: import thinkModel from 'think-model' or const thinkModel = require('think-model');

Error: ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Invalid MySQL credentials in config.

fix

Verify user, password, and host in database configuration.
