library1.4.8jsnpmunverified

Node-Active-Resource is a primitive ORM that maps RESTful API resources to JavaScript objects in Node.js, inspired by HER. Current version 1.4.8, with no recent updates or fixed release cadence. It requires Node >=0.8.0 and is open for contributions but appears largely unmaintained. Provides `Resource.define_resource` for defining REST resources and a `vger` function for configuration.

Code

Verified usage

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

Resource

✓ import { Resource } from 'node-active-resource'

✗ const Resource = require('node-active-resource').Resource

ESM is supported, but CJS require also works.

vger

✓ import vger from 'node-active-resource'

✗ const vger = require('node-active-resource')()

Default export is a function, not an object. Use default import.

define_resource

✓ import { Resource } from 'node-active-resource'; Resource.define_resource({...})

✗ import { define_resource } from 'node-active-resource'

`define_resource` is a method on the `Resource` object, not a named export.

Configures a vger client and defines a User resource mapped to /users, then fetches user 1.

import vger from 'node-active-resource'; const service = vger({ host: 'api.example.com', port: 443 }); import { Resource } from 'node-active-resource'; const User = Resource.define_resource({ collectionPath: '/users' }); async function main() { const user = await User.find(1); console.log('User:', user); } main().catch(console.error);

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is no longer maintained and may have security vulnerabilities.

fix

Consider migrating to a modern ORM like Prisma or a REST client like Axios.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe default export is a function, not an object. Doing `const vger = require('node-active-resource')()` is correct for CommonJS, not `const vger = require('node-active-resource')`.

fix

Use `import vger from 'node-active-resource'` or `const vger = require('node-active-resource')()`.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotcha`Resource.define_resource` expects an object with `collectionPath`, not a string.

fix

Pass an object: `Resource.define_resource({ collectionPath: '/users' })`.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'node-active-resource'

Package not installed or missing from node_modules.

fix

Run `npm install node-active-resource` and ensure it's listed in package.json.

TypeError: vger is not a function

Using default import incorrectly (e.g., `import { vger }` instead of default import).

fix

Use `import vger from 'node-active-resource'` or `const vger = require('node-active-resource')()`.

TypeError: Resource.define_resource is not a function

`define_resource` is not a named export; it's a method on Resource.

fix

Import Resource as `import { Resource } from 'node-active-resource'` then call `Resource.define_resource(...)`.
