Find an ORM for the project

Doctrine is the one in Symfony, but is it married to PHP? What else is out there?

Find something that works with React

TypeORM looks like a good candidate. It's a Javascript ORM and specifically mentions Cordova compatibility. It also has the simple look that I expect from an ORM's model files.

Hey there, I was poking around and noticed the following references around ORM and Node, didn't know if you'd find it helpful:

• using sequelize as an ORM

• MassiveJS for the win. Organized SQL files!

• Would recommend using a query builder rather than an ORM. ORMs make the code a lot harder to understand because they hide away the real work under helper methods. When you can see the database queries the code is infinitely easier to grok.

I spotted those and other comments in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/80v2gw/i_plan_to_use_the_mern_stack_but_i_am_conflicted/
