## About [<img src="https://secure.travis-ci.org/1602/jugglingdb.png" />](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

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).
