Collectink

An ES6 Javascript library that helps you writing relations between objects without any database. If you have ever used an ORM, you will feel at home.

// A simple example using a one-to-one relationship

import Model from "collectink";

class User extends Model {
  initialize(fullname) {
    this.fullname = fullname;

    this.hasOne('phone', Phone)
  }
}

class Phone extends Model {
  initialize(brand) {
    this.brand = brand;

    this.belongsTo('owner', User)
  }
}

let john  = new User ("John Doe");
let phone = new Phone("SomeBrandName");

john.phone = phone;

// Relation has been updated
phone.owner.fullname; // => "John Doe"

// A developped example with multiples one-to-many relationship

import Model from "collectink";

class Post extends Model {
  initialize() {
    this.hasMany('comments', Comment);
    this.belongsTo('author', User);
  }
}

class User extends Model {
  initialize(fullname) {
    this.fullname = fullname;

    this.hasMany('posts', Post);
    this.hasMany('comments', Comment);
  }
}

class Comment extends Model {
  initialize() {
    this.belongsTo('post', Post);
    this.belongsTo('author', User);
  }
}

let john = new User("John Doe");

let post = new Post;
post.title   = "Lorem Ipum"
post.content = "Some dummy post content";
john.posts = [post];

post.author; // User:john

let comment = new Comment;
comment.content = "Hello World!";
comment.author  = john;

john.comments; // => [comment]

post.comments = [comment];

comment.post; // => post

// Collections
Post.$where({author: john}); // => Collection<Post>
