nukak is a powerful and efficient ORM, featuring serializable JSON syntax and intelligent type-inference. It enables you to write queries in the frontend (browser/mobile), or any other client, which can then be safely sent to the server. Additionally, you can use nukak solely in the server, or even in a mobile application with an embedded database (such as SQLite).

 

Features

• Serializable JSON syntax for all the queries.
• Uses the power of TypeScript to get smart type-safety everywhere.
• The generated queries are performant, safe, and human-readable.
• $project, $filter, $sort, $limit works at multiple levels (including deep relations and their fields).
• declarative and imperative transactions.
• soft-delete, virtual fields, repositories, connection pooling.
• Transparent support for inheritance between entities.
• Unified API for MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Postgres, MongoDB.

 

Install

1. Install the core package:

   npm install nukak --save
   

2. Install one of the specific adapters for your database:

Database	Driver	Nukak Adapter
MySQL	mysql2	nukak-mysql
MariaDB	mariadb	nukak-maria
SQLite	sqlite sqlite3	nukak-sqlite
PostgreSQL	pg	nukak-postgres
MongoDB	mongodb	nukak-mongo

For example, for Postgres:

npm install pg nukak-postgres --save

1. Additionally, your tsconfig.json may need the following flags:

   "target": "es2020",
   "experimentalDecorators": true,
   "emitDecoratorMetadata": true
   

 

Configure

A default querier-pool can be set in any of the bootstrap files of your app (e.g. in the server.ts).

import { setQuerierPool } from 'nukak';
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.log }
);

// the default querier pool that `nukak` will use
setQuerierPool(querierPool);

 

Define the entities

Take any dump class (aka DTO) and annotate it with the decorators from nukak/entity.

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
import { Id, Field, Entity } from 'nukak/entity/index.js';

@Entity()
export class User {
  @Id({ onInsert: uuidv4 })
  id?: string;
  @Field()
  name?: string;
  @Field()
  email?: string;
  @Field()
  password?: string;
}

 

Manipulate the data

import { getQuerier } from 'nukak';
import { User } from './shared/models/index.js';

async function findLastUsers(limit = 10) {
  const querier = await getQuerier();
  const users = await querier.findMany(User, {
    $project: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
    $sort: { createdAt: -1 },
    $limit: limit,
  });
  await querier.release();
  return users;
}

async function createUser(body: User) {
  const querier = await getQuerier();
  const id = await querier.insertOne(User, body);
  await querier.release();
  return id;
}
