# smartdata
smartdata is a ODM that adheres to TypeScript practices and uses classes to organize data.
It uses MongoDB as persistent storage.
## Intention
There are many ODMs out there, however when we searched for a ODM that uses TypeScript,
acts smart while still embracing an easy the NoSQL idea we didn't find a matching solution.
This is why we started smartdata
How MongoDB terms map to smartdata classes
MongoDB term | smartdata class
--- | ---
Database | smartdata.Db
Collection | smartdata.DbCollection
Document | smartdata.DbDoc
### class Db
represents a Database. Naturally it has .connect() etc. methods on it.
Since it is a class you can have multiple DBs defined.
```typescript
import * as smartdata from 'smartdata'
let myDb1 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
let myDb2 = new smartdata.Db('someConnectionUrl')
myDb1.connect()
myDb2.connect()
// continues in next block...
```
### class Collection
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
```typescript
// continues from the block before...
class myObject extends smartdata.DbDoc {
property1:string
property2:number
constructor(optionsArg:{
queryArg?:any,
dataArg?:{
property1:string,
property2:number
}
}) {
super(this,optionsArg)
}
}
let myCollection = myDb1.getCollection(myObject)
```
> Alert: You NEVER instantiate a collection.
This is done for you!!!
### class DbDoc
represents a individual document in a collection.
