ilana-orm
A fully-featured, Laravel Eloquent-style ORM for Node.js & TypeScript. If you know Eloquent, you already know IlanaORM — same API, same patterns, same conventions. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Supabase, edge runtimes, and pgvector AI search out of the box
Project mention: Show HN: IlanaORM, Laravel Eloquent-Style ORM for Node.js and TypeScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-09I've spent time working across Laravel and Node.js codebases and the absence of an Eloquent-equivalent in the Node ecosystem has always been a genuine gap. Prisma requires a separate code generation step and has its own DSL. TypeORM is decorator-heavy and verbose. Drizzle is closer to a query builder than an ORM. None of them give you the fluent, scope-and-relationship-based API that makes Eloquent productive.
IlanaORM exposes an API that mirrors Eloquent: model-based query scopes, eager loading via `with()`, a full set of relationships (`hasOne`, `hasMany`, `belongsTo`, `belongsToMany`, `morphTo`, `morphMany`, `hasManyThrough`), soft deletes, attribute casting, observers, global scopes, factories, seeders, and migrations.
A few technical details worth mentioning: edge runtime compatibility is handled by importing from `ilana-orm/edge`, which sets a `global.__ILANA_EDGE__` flag that skips the `fs` and `path` based config auto-loader, enabling use in Cloudflare Workers and Next.js edge routes. pgvector is integrated directly for similarity search. ULID and UUID primary keys are supported as opt-in. There is no code generation step, models are plain JavaScript or TypeScript classes with hand-authored `.d.ts` definitions.
It is on npm as `ilana-orm`. Docs: https://raphwebb.mintlify.com | GitHub: https://github.com/raphyabak/ilana-orm
