Esix is a slick ORM for MongoDB.

Inspired by ActiveRecord and Eloquent, Esix is a great way to work with your database in TypeScript. 🥧

Esix uses a Convention over Configuration approach where you define your models as normal TypeScript classes and with minimal boilerplate.

Install Esix

Add the package using your favorite package manager.

Yarn

yarn add esix mongodb

NPM

npm install esix mongodb

Getting Started

First off, you'll need to define your model.

import { baseModel } from 'esix';

export default class Book extends BaseModel {
  public isbn = '';
  public title = '';
}

The base model comes with id and timestamp fields so you don't have to worry about those things.

Now you are ready to create some data!

import Book from './book';

async function createBooks(): Promise<void> {
  await Book.create({
    isbn: '978-0525536291',
    title: 'The Vanishing Half'
  });
  await Book.create({
    isbn: '978-0525521143',
    title: 'The Glass Hotel'
  });
}

Then you can easily query your models.

import { Request, Response } from 'express';
import Book from './book';

async function showBook(request: Request, response: Response): Promise<void> {
  const book = await Book.find(request.params.id);

  response.json({
    book
  });
}
