library1.1.15jsnpmunverified

Slife is a small MySQL ORM for Node.js beginners, currently at version 1.1.15 with an unknown release cadence (appears sporadically updated). Key differentiators: supports query chaining (select, insert, update, delete), TypeScript generics for auto-completion, union queries, and raw SQL. Compared to alternatives like Sequelize or TypeORM, Slife is minimal and has no active community. Its peer dependency is the mysql package (npm mysql).

Code

Verified usage

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

default (Slife class)

✓ import Slife from 'slife'

✗ const { Slife } = require('slife')

ESM export is default; CommonJS require('slife') also works.

require (CommonJS)

✓ const Slife = require('slife')

✗ const { default: Slife } = require('slife')

CommonJS require returns the Slife class directly.

TypeScript type usage

✓ type User = { name: string; age: number }; const db = new Slife({...}); const users = await db.select<User>('*').from('users').run();

✗ const users: User[] = await db.select('*').from('users');

TypeScript users must call .run() and can use generics; omitting .run() causes errors.

Shows instantiation, table creation, insert, select with where clause, and closing the connection.

import Slife from 'slife'; const db = new Slife({ host: 'localhost', database: 'my_database', user: process.env.DB_USER ?? 'root', password: process.env.DB_PASS ?? '', port: 3306 }); const createTable = await db.createTable('users', { id: 'INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY', name: 'VARCHAR(255)', age: 'INT' }); await db.insert({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 }).into('users'); const rows = await db.select('*').from('users').where('age', '>', 25).run(); console.log(rows); db.end();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaTypeScript users must call .run() at the end of query chains (select, insert, update, delete) to execute the query.

fix

Always append .run() to query chains when using TypeScript.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe package has not been updated since 2022 and has no TypeScript definitions officially shipped; types are declared via JSDoc or ambient declarations.

fix

Consider using TypeORM or Sequelize for active support.

affects: <=1.1.15

gotchaThe package depends on the `mysql` npm package (not mysql2), which has known issues with connection handling and is less modern.

fix

If using mysql2, you may need to adjust connection parameters or use a different ORM.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Property 'run' does not exist on type '...'

TypeScript users forgot to include .run() at the end of the query chain.

fix

Add .run() after the query chain: await db.select('*').from('table').run();

Slife is not a constructor

Importing the package incorrectly (e.g., using named import instead of default).

fix

Use const Slife = require('slife') or import Slife from 'slife'.

Cannot find module 'slife' or its corresponding type declarations.

TypeScript cannot find type definitions for slife; the package does not ship .d.ts files.

fix

Create a global.d.ts file with declare module 'slife'; or use @ts-ignore.
