lucid VS TypeORM

When I started this project I was inspired by Lucid which is the ORM of the Adonis.js framework.

Sure, it's one of the best looking for that case, but still everything from the view templating system[1] to the database[2] it uses "by default" needs to be manually installed, which makes it def not like Django/RoR IMHO. Heck, even the simple session management needs to be installed separately[3].

The config/database.ts file holds all the configuration related to the database. For more details on this, check out the documentation.

For Adonis.js to work with database we should install Lucid ORM and configure it properly.

Adonisjs Lucid is pretty solid in all regards. https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/database/introduction

The ace invoke command executes the instructions Javascript file exposed by the package.

If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.

We decided to use MySQL for a database. and TypeOrm for ORM. The ER diagram is provided below. For example, the task_assignments table holds information about user assignments to tasks. While in DDD, there is a pattern to design denormalized tables that reflect the structure of domain objects more directly, but this time, a more conventional table design was chosen. TypeOrm models:

How does this compare to using directly an ORM lib that supports browser like TypeORM [0] via SQL.js [1]?

* Patch a third-party library that was setting an HTTP header to `null`. NodeJS handles this case just fine, but Deno throws an error [2].

After all of that work, I finally was able to use Deno in my project. It was really cool! Unfortunately, both VS Code and IntelliJ with Deno are essentially unusable [3]. Or, at least, unacceptably slow compared to what I had with NodeJS.

TypeORM is a very convenient ORM for JS apps. We use it with NestJS and running it on NodeJS.

We are going to start using TypeORM as an ORM to help us interact with Postgres, but we also have an example of using Prisma in the future and everything that we have to adapt to switch the ORMs if necessary. At the end we are implementing neon.tech as a production database, right? 😉

TypeORM is a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js. It provides a high-level abstraction over relational databases, making it easy to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

TypeORM places its focus on TypeScript and JavaScript (ES7+) development. It offers compatibility with various database systems, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB. What sets TypeORM apart is its robust integration with TypeScript. It provides a user-friendly experience with a convenient decorator-based syntax for defining entities and relationships. Additionally, TypeORM supports the repository pattern and enables eager loading, enhancing its versatility for developers.

ᴬ typeorm officially supports mssql@v9, but the support for the custom stream builder was added in mssql@v10. Since mssql is a peer dependency of typeorm, you can force override it and use the Cloud SQL Connector with typeorm. There is an open PR to add support for mssql@v10 in typeorm.
