Bookshelf is a JavaScript ORM for Node.js, built on the Knex SQL query builder.
It is designed to work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite3.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Both Promise-based and traditional callback interfaces are supported.
- Transaction support.
- Eager/nested-eager relation loading,
- Polymorphic associations.
- Support for one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relations.
- Concise, literate codebase, Bookshelf is simple to read, understand, and extend. It doesn’t force you to use any specific validation scheme, and provides flexible, efficient relation/nested-relation loading and first-class transaction support.
- Lean object-relational mapper, allowing you to drop down to the raw Knex interface whenever you need a custom query that doesn’t quite fit with the stock convention
