Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

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

caminte

✓ const caminte = require('caminte')

✗ import caminte from 'caminte'

Caminte uses CommonJS; ESM import may not work without transpilation.

caminte-cli

✓ npm install -g caminte-cli

✗ require('caminte-cli')

CLI is installed globally and used via shell, not imported.

database config

✓ const db = new caminte.DataSource('mysql', {host: 'localhost', database: 'test', ...})

✗ const db = new caminte.DataSource() without config

Adapter and config must be passed; otherwise defaults to memory.

Installs CLI globally, initializes a project with MySQL adapter, creates a User model, creates a Post model with routes, parses a SQL dump, and generates Swagger spec.

npm install -g caminte-cli mkdir myapp && cd myapp caminte -i -a mysql caminte -m User active:int name email password note:text created:date caminte -c Post published:bool title content:text created:date caminte -d dumpfile.sql caminte -w

Debug

Known issues

gotchaCaminte CLI uses an older version of Caminte ORM. The ORM might not be actively maintained.

fix

Check GitHub issues for compatibility; consider using a more modern ORM like Sequelize or Prisma.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedSwagger generation via 'caminte -w' produces Swagger 2.0, not OpenAPI 3.x.

fix

Use a separate tool like swagger-cli or manual migration for OpenAPI 3.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaGenerated routes follow a non-standard pattern (e.g., /:table instead of /api/:table).

fix

Modify the generated route templates to match your desired routing structure.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaCLI requires a database adapter to be installed separately. Not included automatically.

fix

Install the required adapter (e.g., npm install caminte-mysql) before running -i.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedDefault npm engine node version '>=0.10' is very old. Node 0.10 is end-of-life.

fix

Use Node.js version 12 or lower? Actually may not work on newer versions. Test with Node 10+.

affects: >=1.0 <1.3

gotchaCLI does not support TypeScript as a first-class citizen; files generated are plain JavaScript.

fix

Manually convert generated code to TypeScript or use a different ORM that supports TS.

affects: >=1.0
