Build Status Dependencies devDependencies

Model & Collection manager for Bookshelf.js to make it easy to create & save deep, nested JSON structures from API requests.

Installation

npm install bookshelf-manager --save

Usage

  1. Register as a plugin in Bookshelf:

    bookshelf.plugin('bookshelf-manager');
    • Optionally, you can pass in an object with a root property to read models from a specified directory:

      bookshelf.plugin('bookshelf-manager', { root: 'path/to/models' });
  2. Register individual models (not required if you passed in a root model directory as above):

    bookshelf.manager.register(model, modelName);
  3. Use the methods on bookshelf.manager to create, fetch, and save models or collections with support for deeply-nested attributes. E.g.:

    return bookshelf.manager.create('car', {
      features: [
        { name: 'ABS', cost: '1250' },
        { name: 'GPS', cost: '500' }
      ],
      quantity: 1
    }).then(function(car) {
      // created car should now have the associated features
    });
