ActiveKnex

Bringing the awesomeness of knex one step closer to ActiveRecord!

NOTE: While I think Bookshelf is a great project, it has the same annoyances that Backbone has where it puts a whole bunch of stuff that I don't want in and around my data. I want a raw Javascript Object!

Using ActiveKnex

var ActiveKnex = require('active-knex');
var knex = require('knex')(knexConfig);

// Create your very own Schema right on top of your existing knex object
var MySchema = ActiveKnex.Schema.create(knex, {
tableName: 'table_name',
// Everything else!
});

Relations

Want to load associations into your data object before you res.json? This is for you!

$3

var Player = ActiveKnex.Schema.create(knex, {
tableName: 'players',

relations: {
players: function() {
var Player = require('./player');
return ActiveKnex.Relation.HasMany({
model: Player,
foreignKey: 'team_id'
});
}
}
});

###Load association data right into your Object

var team = {id: 1};
Team.load(team, 'players').then(function(team) {
team.players; // Array of players
});

##Testing

To run the tests
