Synopsis#

ORM::ActiveRecord is an object-relational mapping module for Raku that mostly follows the Active Record Pattern.

It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite through a common adapter layer. Application code is the same regardless of the backend; pick one with DATABASE_URL or config/application.json. See Adapters.

Example Usage#

use User;
use Page;

my User $user = User.create({fname => 'Greg'});
my Page $page = Page.create({:$user, name => 'Rakuist'});

say $user.pages.first.name;
say $page.user.fname;

my User $alfred = User.create({fname => 'Alfred'});
$page.update({user => $alfred});

say $page.user.fname

Output:

Rakuist
Greg
Alfred

Install#

ORM::ActiveRecord can be installed using the zef module installation tool:

zef install --/test ORM::ActiveRecord

--/test skips the test suite, which requires a configured test database. To run the tests, set up a test database.
