bookshelf.js: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Bookshelf is a JavaScript ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library for Node.js, built on top of the Knex SQL query builder. It provides a simple and elegant solution for interacting with databases by mapping database tables to JavaScript objects. Bookshelf supports various database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others, offering features like model lifecycle events, relations between models, and eager loading of related data.
Compared to other ORM libraries like Sequelize and TypeORM, Bookshelf stands out for its lightweight and flexible design, making it easy to integrate with existing projects and customize as needed. However, Bookshelf is no longer actively maintained, and developers are advised to consider using alternatives like Sequelize or TypeORM for new projects.
