Mevn ORM

Do not use This

When I started this, I had so much intertest in the JS ecosytem and ORMs. I still have some intertest in javascript bit not ORMs.

Mevn ORM is a lightweight ORM for Express.js and MySQL that provides a clean, fluent interface for building queries and managing models. It is under maintenance mode and receives security updates. Development is paused, but the core ORM functionality is complete and usable.

Getting Started

const { Model } = require('mevn-orm')

class User extends Model {}

const user = await User.create({
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john@example.com',
  password: 'secret' // hash before storing
})
