  • Looking for a type safe ORM/mapper

    Depending on the complexity of your queries, Prisma might indeed not be the best abstraction for you. If you're proficient in SQL and don't want to sacrifice type-safety, there are really nice, low-level alternatives to Prisma such as Zapatos, Slonik or atdatabases. We're laying this out in our docs here: Should you use Prisma?
  • SQL result into variable

    Since the method is marked as async, you can use await to get the results of a query (if your database library supports promises. For example with https://www.atdatabases.org as your db library you could do
  • What are popular ORMs for Node.js?

    Have you seen https://www.atdatabases.org I added a type safe ORM to it because I found aspects of Prisma that sucked (it had too many bugs and was a pain to setup)
    16 projects | /r/node | 28 Jul 2022
    I found Prisma close but not quite there. That's part of what motivated me to keep working on https://www.atdatabases.org, which I think is already there as an enterprise ready ORM for node.js
    16 projects | /r/node | 28 Jul 2022
    I was frustrated by the existing options so I built https://www.atdatabases.org as an open source ORM/database client. It uses tagged template literals to prevent SQL injection when you want to write raw SQL and has a simple type safe API for common operations.
  • what node ORM is worth it to learn
    10 projects | /r/node | 26 Feb 2022
    I built https://www.atdatabases.org which has an ORM for node.js, but also supports writing SQL queries in a safe way. It is type safe, and has much simpler & more flexible transaction support than most node.js ORMs.
  • Can you use Joi with SQL database?
    2 projects | /r/node | 29 Dec 2021
    If you’re using TypeScript and don’t have untrusted user data, @databases can generate static types, which can be a good alternative to runtime validation.
  • How do most people interact with a db these days?
    5 projects | /r/node | 27 Dec 2021
    Did either of you consider @databases? It has pretty much the same approach to SQL as Slonik. I’m curious if there’s any reason why Slonik is preferable?
    5 projects | /r/node | 27 Dec 2021
    We use @databases, which has a mix of super lightweight ORM for type safety and raw SQL (with protections against SQL injection) for more complex queries.
