Helpers

Table-name utilities used by Model and available for your own code.

toSnakeCase(value: string): string

Converts PascalCase or camelCase to snake_case.

import { toSnakeCase } from 'mevn-orm'

toSnakeCase('User')                 // 'user'
toSnakeCase('PasswordResetToken')   // 'password_reset_token'
toSnakeCase('XMLParser')            // depends on acronym handling via implementation

getTableName(className: string): string

Pluralised snake_case table name for a model class name.

import { getTableName } from 'mevn-orm'

getTableName('User')                // 'users'
getTableName('Farm')                // 'farms'
getTableName('PasswordResetToken')  // 'password_reset_tokens'

Uses the pluralize package for pluralisation after snake_casing.

Usage outside models

import { getTableName, getDB } from 'mevn-orm'

function tableFor(ModelClass: { name: string }) {
  return getTableName(ModelClass.name)
}

await getDB()(tableFor(User)).select('*')

Prefer Model.currentTable / override table when working with model subclasses so explicit overrides are respected.
