Heart

A little base model for working with postgres and node. Quick prototypes and easy to expand.

npm install heart

Features

• Keeps tracked of changed attributes.
• Built in Database client with nice api.
• SQL generation.

Examples

Simple use of base model.

user = Heart('users')
user.set({
  'email': 'jrwoodbridge1@gmail.com',
  'name': 'Justin Woodbridge'
})

user.save() # => Boom.

user.get('id') # => 1
user.get('name') # => 'Justin Woodbridge'

user.dirty # => false
user.set('age', 10)
user.dirty # => true
user.save()
user.dirty # => false

Fancy Extending

User = Heart.brand('user')
User.processor function(blob) {
  blob.age = parseInt(age)
  return blob
}

user = User({'name': 'jwoodbridge@me.com', 'age': '16'})
user.save()

Fleshed Out Model

User = Heart.brand('user')
User.processor function(blob) {
  blob.age = parseInt(age)
  return blob
}

User.get = function(id, cb) {
  Heart.Database.query(id, function(err, res) {
    if(err) throw err;
    var user = User(res.rows[0])
    cb(user)
  })
}

User.get(1, function(user) {

})
