Objection.js, a SQL ORM

[paulbjensen]

Objection.js is a SQL ORM (Object Relational mapping) for Node.js.

In this talk, I will walk you through how the module works, show live examples of it in action, and present the case for considering it in your Node.js projects.

Things that we'll cover are:

• Quick setup
• Creating the underlying database schema for your models via Knex.js
• Creating models and executing SQL queries via the models
• Implementing validation in your models with JSON schema
• Defining relationships between models
• Doing graph inserts and updates
• Setting up a GraphQL API with the objection-graphql plugin
• Other interesting objection.js plugins

My name is Paul Jensen, I'm the author of Manning's "Cross Platform Desktop Applications - Using Node, Electron, and NW.js". You can find me on Twitter and Github.

Hi Paul - thanks again for stepping up - I haven't heard back from Stephen for #138 - and I really want to get the schedule published for next week - so would you still be keen?

[paulbjensen]

Yeah, I’m happy to step in and fill the slot.

👍 I would hope @paulbjensen would know the drill by now! - but always good to check 😄

[paulbjensen]

Yep, agreed to both.

[claireinez]

Haha yeah I know you agreed to them last month but figured it was best to keep a record in each issue :) Thanks for indulging me Paul!

Hi @paulbjensen - just checking in for tonight - I've had a message from Alex that does the videos and he is having trouble with his screen capture - are you on a Mac? This will make things easier for him, but if not we can make a plan.

[paulbjensen]

Yep, I’m good to go, and I have a 13” MacBook Pro (2014 edition), same as last time.
