## About [](http://travis-ci.org/#!/1602/jugglingdb) JugglingDB is cross-db ORM for nodejs, providing **common interface** to access most popular database formats. Currently supported are: mysql, sqlite3, postgres, couchdb, mongodb, redis, neo4j and js-memory-storage (yep, self-written engine for test-usage only). You can add your favorite database adapter, checkout one of the existing adapters to learn how, it's super-easy, I guarantee. Jugglingdb also works on client-side (using WebService and Memory adapters), which allows to write rich client-side apps talking to server using JSON API. ## Installation npm install jugglingdb plus you should install appropriated adapter, for example for redis: npm install jugglingdb-redis check following list of available adapters ## JugglingDB adapters

## Participation - Check status of project on trello board: https://trello.com/board/jugglingdb/4f0a0b1e27d3103c64288388 - Make sure all tests pass (`npm test` command) - Feel free to vote and comment on cards (tickets/issues), if you want to join team -- send me a message with your email. If you want to create your own jugglingdb adapter, you should publish your adapter package with name `jugglingdb-ADAPTERNAME`. Creating adapter is simple, check [jugglingdb-redis](https://github.com/1602/jugglingdb-redis) for example. JugglingDB core exports common tests each adapter should pass, you could create your adapter in TDD style, check that adapter pass all tests defined in `test/common_test.js`. ## Usage ```javascript var Schema = require('jugglingdb').Schema; var schema = new Schema('redis', {port: 6379}); //port number depends on your configuration // define models var Post = schema.define('Post', { title: { type: String, length: 255 }, content: { type: Schema.Text }, date: { type: Date, default: Date.now }, published: { type: Boolean, default: false, index: true } }); // simplier way to describe model var User = schema.define('User', { name: String, bio: Schema.Text, approved: Boolean, joinedAt: Date, age: Number }, { restPath: '/users' // tell WebService adapter which path use as API endpoint }); // define any custom method User.prototype.getNameAndAge = function () { return this.name + ', ' + this.age; }; // models also accessible in schema: schema.models.User; schema.models.Post; // setup relationships User.hasMany(Post, {as: 'posts', foreignKey: 'userId'}); // creates instance methods: // user.posts(conds) // user.posts.build(data) // like new Post({userId: user.id}); // user.posts.create(data) // build and save Post.belongsTo(User, {as: 'author', foreignKey: 'userId'}); // creates instance methods: // post.author(callback) -- getter when called with function // post.author() -- sync getter when called without params // post.author(user) -- setter when called with object schema.automigrate(); // required only for mysql NOTE: it will drop User and Post tables // work with models: var user = new User; user.save(function (err) { var post = user.posts.build({title: 'Hello world'}); post.save(console.log); }); // or just call it as function (with the same result): var user = User(); user.save(...); // Common API methods // just instantiate model new Post // save model (of course async) Post.create(cb); // all posts Post.all(cb) // all posts by user Post.all({where: {userId: user.id}, order: 'id', limit: 10, skip: 20}); // the same as prev user.posts(cb) // get one latest post Post.findOne({where: {published: true}, order: 'date DESC'}, cb); // same as new Post({userId: user.id}); user.posts.build // save as Post.create({userId: user.id}, cb); user.posts.create(cb) // find instance by id User.find(1, cb) // count instances User.count([conditions, ]cb) // destroy instance user.destroy(cb); // destroy all instances User.destroyAll(cb); // Setup validations User.validatesPresenceOf('name', 'email') User.validatesLengthOf('password', {min: 5, message: {min: 'Password is too short'}}); User.validatesInclusionOf('gender', {in: ['male', 'female']}); User.validatesExclusionOf('domain', {in: ['www', 'billing', 'admin']}); User.validatesNumericalityOf('age', {int: true}); User.validatesUniquenessOf('email', {message: 'email is not unique'}); user.isValid(function (valid) { if (!valid) { user.errors // hash of errors {attr: [errmessage, errmessage, ...], attr: ...} } }) ``` ## Callbacks The following callbacks supported: - afterInitialize - beforeCreate - afterCreate - beforeSave - afterSave - beforeUpdate - afterUpdate - beforeDestroy - afterDestroy - beforeValidation - afterValidation Each callback is class method of the model, it should accept single argument: `next`, this is callback which should be called after end of the hook. Except `afterInitialize` because this method is syncronous (called after `new Model`). ## Object lifecycle: ```javascript var user = new User; // afterInitialize user.save(callback); // beforeValidation // afterValidation // beforeSave // beforeCreate // afterCreate // afterSave // callback user.updateAttribute('email', 'email@example.com', callback); // beforeValidation // afterValidation // beforeUpdate // afterUpdate // callback user.destroy(callback); // beforeDestroy // afterDestroy // callback User.create(data, callback); // beforeValidate // afterValidate // beforeCreate // afterCreate // callback ``` Read the tests for usage examples: ./test/common_test.js Validations: ./test/validations_test.js ## Your own database adapter To use custom adapter, pass it's package name as first argument to `Schema` constructor: var mySchema = new Schema('mycouch', {host:.., port:...}); In that case your adapter should be named as 'jugglingdb-mycouch' npm package. ## Testing Core of jugglingdb tests only basic features (database-agnostic) like validations, hooks and runs db-specific tests using memory storage. It also exports complete bucket of tests for external running. Each adapter should run this bucket (example from `jugglingdb-redis`): var jdb = require('jugglingdb'), Schema = jdb.Schema, test = jdb.test; var schema = new Schema(__dirname + '/..', {host: 'localhost', database: 1}); test(module.exports, schema); Each adapter could add specific tests to standart bucket: test.it('should do something special', function (test) { test.done(); }); Or it could tell core to skip some test from bucket: test.skip('name of test case'); To run tests use this command: npm test Before running make sure you've installed package (`npm install`) and if you running some specific adapter tests, ensure you've configured database correctly (host, port, username, password). ## Contributing If you have found a bug please write unit test, and make sure all other tests still pass before pushing code to repo. ## License MIT
