eloquent-orm-node

library0.3.11jsnpmunverified

A Node.js implementation of Laravel's Eloquent ORM, providing an ActiveRecord-style interface for database interactions. Current stable version is 0.3.11. Released irregularly; early-stage project with limited documentation and community adoption. Key differentiators: familiar Laravel syntax for Node.js users, supports MySQL and SQLite, includes relationships and migrations. Alternative to Sequelize or TypeORM with Eloquent conventions.

Shows how to configure a database connection, define a Model, and fetch all records.

import { Model, DatabaseManager } from 'eloquent-orm-node'; import mysql from 'mysql2/promise'; const db = new DatabaseManager({ connections: { mysql: { driver: 'mysql', host: process.env.DB_HOST ?? 'localhost', database: process.env.DB_NAME ?? 'test', username: process.env.DB_USER ?? 'root', password: process.env.DB_PASS ?? '', } } }); class User extends Model { static table = 'users'; } const users = await User.all(); console.log(users);

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage is early-stage (< v1.0) with frequent breaking changes between minor versions.

fix

Pin to exact version; expect migration guides for each minor bump.

affects: >=0.1.0 <1.0.0

gotchaModel class must be extended; direct instantiation of Model fails.

fix

Always extend Model and define static table property.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaDatabaseManager instance is required before using Model methods. No global connection pool.

fix

Create and configure DatabaseManager at app startup.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe 'eloquent-orm-node' package is not actively maintained; last update was in 2021.

fix

Consider using 'eloquentjs' or alternative ORMs like Sequelize or TypeORM.

affects: >=0.1.0
