Quell

Quell is a MySQL Active Record solution for NodeJS based on Backbone.Model.

Quell does not support joins. It is built to manage individual records in a database on a per-row basis.

Quell does not manage table schema, but will automatically load schema and sanitize input against table column types.

Installation

NPM: npm install mysql quell

Quell is built to work with connection pools from node-mysql and mysql2.

Usage

var mysql = require('mysql');
var pool = mysql.createPool({ /* MySQL Connection Settings */});

var quell = require('quell');

var Book   = quell('books', { connection: pool });
var Author = quell('authors', { connection: pool });

var tperry = new Author({
  firstname: 'Terry',
  lastname: 'Pratchett'
});

var nightWatch = new Book({
  title: 'Night Watch'
});

tperry.save().then(function () {
  nightWatch.set('authorid', tperry.get('id'));
  return nightWatch.save();
});
