## Usage
|
|
|
|
Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

smartdata is an ODM that adheres to TypeScript practices and uses classes to organize data.
|
|
|
|
It uses RethinkDB as persistent storage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Intention
|
|
|
|
There are many ODMs out there, however when we searched for an ODM that uses TypeScript,
|
|
|
|
acts smart while still embracing the NoSQL idea we didn't find a matching solution.
|
|
|
|
This is why we started smartdata.

How MongoDB terms map to smartdata classes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RethinkDB term | smartdata class
|
|
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
|
|
Database | smartdata.Db
|
|
|
|
Table | smartdata.DbTable
|
|
|
|
Document | smartdata.DbDoc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### class Db
|
|
|
|
represents a Database. Naturally it has .connect() etc. methods on it.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
import * as smartdata from 'smartdata'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// mongodb
|
|
|
|
let myDb1 = new smartdata.Db({
|
|
|
|
// rethinkDb connection options here
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
myDb1.connect()
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### class DbCollection
|
|
|
|
represents a collection of objects.
|
|
|
|
A collection is defined by the object class (that is extending smartdata.dbdoc) it respresents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So to get to get access to a specific collection you document
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
// continues from the block before...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@Collection(myDb1)
|
|
|
|
class MyObject extends smartdata.DbDoc<myObject> { // read the next block about DbDoc
|
|
|
|
@smartdata.svDb() property1: string // @smartdata.svDb() marks the property for db save
|
|
|
|
property2: number // this one is not marked, so it won't be save upon calling this.save()
|
|
|
|
constructor(optionsArg:{
|
|
|
|
property1: string,
|
|
|
|
property2: number
|
|
|
|
}) {
|
|
|
|
super()
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
let myCollection = myDb1.getCollectionByName<myObject>(myObject)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// start to instantiate instances of classes from scratch or database
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
let localObject = new MyObject({
|
|
|
|
property1: 'hi',
|
|
|
|
property2: 2
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
localObject.save() // saves the object to the database
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Alert: You NEVER instantiate a collection.
|
|
|
|
This is done for you!!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### class DbDoc
|
|
|
|
represents a individual document in a collection
|
|
|
|
and thereby is ideally suited to extend the class you want to actually store.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DbDoc extends your class with the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `.save()` will save (or update) the object you call it on only. Any referenced non-savable objects will not get stored.
|
|
|
|
* `.saveDeep()` does the same like `.save()`.
|
|
|
|
In addition it will look for properties that reference an object
|
|
|
|
that extends DbDoc as well and call .saveDeep() on them as well.
|
|
|
|
Loops are prevented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So now we can **store** instances of classes to Db...
|
|
|
|
How do we **get** a new class instance from a Doc in the DB?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## TypeScript
|
|
|
|
How does TypeScript play into this?
|
|
|
|
Since you define your classes in TypeScript and types flow through smartdata in a generic way
|
|
|
|
you should get all the Intellisense and type checking you love when using smartdata.
|
|
|
|
smartdata itself also bundles typings.
|
|
|
|
So you don't need to install any additional types when importing smartdata.
