ilorm

library0.15.2jsnpmunverified

ilorm (I Love ORM) is a modern ORM for Node.js that separates database from business logic using ECMAScript classes and schemas. Current stable version is 0.15.2. It provides universal connectors for MongoDB, SQL, Redis, REST, CSV, etc., a plugin ecosystem, query builder, and data validation. Unlike traditional ORMs like Sequelize or Mongoose, ilorm emphasizes class inheritance for plugins and universal data source support. Release cadence is irregular as it's still in early development (pre-1.0).

Code

Verified usage

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

ilorm

✓ import ilorm from 'ilorm'

✗ const { ilorm } = require('ilorm')

ilorm is a default export; named export 'ilorm' does not exist in CommonJS.

schema

✓ const { schema } = require('ilorm')

✗ const schema = ilorm.schema

Both CJS and default import work; schema is a named export from the ES module.

newModel

✓ import { newModel } from 'ilorm'

✗ const { model } = require('ilorm')

The function is named 'newModel' not 'model'; named export only.

Create a schema, instantiate a model, and perform a simple query using ilorm.

import ilorm from 'ilorm'; import { schema, newModel } from 'ilorm'; const userSchema = schema.new({ firstName: schema.String().required(), lastName: schema.String().required(), age: schema.Number().min(0).max(120), }); const connection = {}; // Replace with actual connector, e.g., ilorm-connector-memory const User = newModel({ name: 'User', schema: userSchema, connector: connection, }); async function main() { const user = await User.query() .firstName.is('John') .findOne(); console.log(user); } main().catch(console.error);

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.x may have breaking changes across minor versions. Always pin exact version in package.json.

fix

Use 'ilorm': '0.15.2' in package.json instead of '^0.15.2'.

affects: >=0.1.0

breakingESM imports changed from named to default export in v0.12.0. Old 'import { ilorm } from 'ilorm'' no longer works.

fix

Use default import: 'import ilorm from 'ilorm''.

affects: >=0.12.0

breakingThe 'schema' function was renamed to 'schema.new' in v0.10.0. Direct use of 'schema({...})' breaks.

fix

Replace 'schema({...})' with 'schema.new({...})'.

affects: >=0.10.0

gotchaThis package is pre-1.0; API is unstable. Not recommended for production without extensive testing.

fix

Evaluate alternative stable ORMs like Sequelize or Mongoose for production.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe 'ilorm.String()' syntax is deprecated in favor of 'schema.String()'.

fix

Use 'schema.String()' instead of 'ilorm.String()'.

affects: >=0.11.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'ilorm'

Missing installation or incorrect module resolution.

fix

Run 'npm install ilorm' and ensure node_modules contains the package.

TypeError: ilorm.schema is not a function

Using old import pattern with default import in CommonJS.

fix

Use 'const { schema } = require('ilorm')' or 'import { schema } from 'ilorm''.

Error: Schema must be created with schema.new()

Directly called schema() instead of schema.new().

fix

Replace 'schema({...})' with 'schema.new({...})'.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'firstName')

Query builder method chaining before defining schema or importing correctly.

fix

Ensure schema is defined and fields match; verify import paths.
