📦 Installation
npm install simple-orm-js🔥 Quick Start
import { createClient } from 'simple-orm-js';
// Connect to Cassandra/ScyllaDB
const client = createClient({
clientOptions: {
contactPoints: ['127.0.0.1'],
localDataCenter: 'datacenter1',
keyspace: 'myapp'
},
ormOptions: {
createKeyspace: true
}
});
// Define schema with validation and unique constraints
const User = await client.loadSchema('users', {
fields: {
id: 'uuid', // Auto-generated
email: {
type: 'text',
unique: true, // Unique constraint
validate: {
required: true,
isEmail: true
}
},
name: {
type: 'text',
validate: {
required: true,
minLength: 2
}
},
age: {
type: 'int',
validate: {
min: 0,
max: 150
}
},
active: {
type: 'boolean',
default: true // Default value
},
created_at: {
type: 'timestamp',
default: () => new Date() // Function default
}
},
key: ['id'],
indexes: ['email']
});
// CRUD operations with automatic validation
const user = await User.create({
email: '[email protected]',
name: 'John Doe',
age: 30
});
const users = await User.find();
const john = await User.findOne({ email: '[email protected]' });
await User.update({ age: 31 }, { id: user.id });
await User.delete({ id: user.id });
const count = await User.count();🎯 Complete Type Support

}Other Types

}🛡️ Data Validation
Built-in Validation Rules
const User = await client.loadSchema('users', {
fields: {
email: {
type: 'text',
validate: {
required: true,
isEmail: true
}
},
website: {
type: 'text',
validate: {
isUrl: true
}
},
name: {
type: 'text',
validate: {
required: true,
minLength: 2,
maxLength: 50,
pattern: /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/ // Only letters and spaces
}
},
age: {
type: 'int',
validate: {
min: 0,
max: 150
}
},
config: {
type: 'json',
validate: {
isJson: true,
custom: (value) => {
const parsed = JSON.parse(value);
return parsed.version ? true : 'Config must have version field';
}
}
}
},
key: ['id']
});Validation in Action
// Automatic validation on create/update
try {
await User.create({
name: 'J', // Too short
email: 'invalid-email', // Invalid format
age: 200 // Too high
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
// "Validation failed: name must be at least 2 characters,
// email must be a valid email, age must be at most 150"
}
// Manual validation
const errors = User.validate(data);
if (errors.length > 0) {
console.log('Validation errors:', errors);
}🔒 Unique Constraints
Field-Level Unique Constraints
const User = await client.loadSchema('users', {
fields: {
id: 'uuid',
email: {
type: 'text',
unique: true, // Field-level unique constraint
validate: { isEmail: true }
},
username: {
type: 'text',
unique: true, // Another unique field
validate: { required: true }
}
},
key: ['id']
});Schema-Level Unique Constraints
const Product = await client.loadSchema('products', {
fields: {
id: 'nanoid',
sku: 'text',
barcode: 'text',
name: 'text'
},
key: ['id'],
unique: ['sku', 'barcode'] // Schema-level unique constraints
});Unique Constraint Enforcement
// Automatic unique constraint checking
try {
await User.create({
email: '[email protected]', // Already exists
username: 'new_user'
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
// "email '[email protected]' already exists"
}
// Works on updates too
try {
await User.update(
{ email: '[email protected]' },
{ id: userId }
);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
// "email '[email protected]' already exists"
}🆔 Multiple ID Types
import { uuid, nanoid } from 'simple-orm-js';
// Different ID generation
const uuidId = uuid(); // Standard UUID
const nanoId = nanoid(); // NanoID (URL-safe, shorter)
const customNano = nanoid(10); // Custom length
// Auto-generation based on field type
const User = await client.loadSchema('users', {
fields: {
id: 'uuid', // Auto-generates UUID
session_id: 'nanoid', // Auto-generates NanoID
time_id: 'timeuuid' // Auto-generates TimeUUID
},
key: ['id']
});
const user = await User.create({ name: 'John' });
// All IDs are automatically generated!📦 Collection Examples
const BlogPost = await client.loadSchema('blog_posts', {
fields: {
id: 'uuid',
title: 'text',
tags: 'set<text>', // Unique tags
comments: 'list<text>', // Ordered comments
metadata: 'map<text,text>', // Key-value metadata
location: 'tuple<text,int>', // [city, zipcode]
scores: {
type: 'list<int>',
validate: {
custom: (value) => {
return Array.isArray(value) && value.every(v => v >= 0 && v <= 100)
? true : 'All scores must be between 0 and 100';
}
}
}
},
key: ['id']
});
const post = await BlogPost.create({
title: 'My Blog Post',
tags: ['javascript', 'database', 'nosql'], // Set
comments: ['Great post!', 'Thanks for sharing'], // List
metadata: { author: 'John', category: 'tech' }, // Map
location: ['New York', 10001], // Tuple
scores: [85, 92, 78] // Validated list
});🎯 Default Values
const User = await client.loadSchema('users', {
fields: {
id: 'uuid',
name: 'text',
active: {
type: 'boolean',
default: true // Static default
},
created_at: {
type: 'timestamp',
default: () => new Date() // Function default
},
role: {
type: 'text',
default: 'user'
},
settings: {
type: 'json',
default: () => JSON.stringify({ theme: 'dark', notifications: true })
}
},
key: ['id']
});
// Only name is required, others get defaults
const user = await User.create({ name: 'John' });
// Result: {
// id: uuid,
// name: 'John',
// active: true,
// created_at: Date,
// role: 'user',
