Installation and Usage

@rattus-orm/solidjs is a separate package that does not include the core library. To start using ORM in your Solid.js application, you need to install everything:

yarn add @rattus-orm/core @rattus-orm/solidjs

Basic Usage Example

The simplest way to set up Rattus ORM with Solid is to use the provider:

main.ts
import { render } from 'solid-js/web'

import './index.css'
import App from './App'
import { RattusProvider } from '@rattus-orm/solidjs'

const root = document.getElementById('root')

render(() => (
<RattusProvider>
<App />
</RattusProvider>
), root
)
models/User.ts
export class User extends Model {
public static entity = 'user'

@UidField()
public id: string

@StringField()
public email: string
}
App.tsx
import { createComputed, onMount } from 'solid-js'
import { useRepository } from "@rattus-orm/solidjs";
import { User } from "./models/User.ts";

function App() {
const { save, find } = useRepository(User)
const user = find('1')

onMount(() => {
save({ id: '1', email: 'test' })
})

return (
<div>
<p>{ user()?.email }</p>
<button type="button" onClick={() => save({ id: '1', email: 'updated@test.com' })}>Update email</button>
</div>
)
}

Using plugins

If you want to use plugins with a database, you can pass an array of plugins into the provider prop. For example, a validation plugin with Zod:

render(() => (
<RattusProvider plugins={[RattusZodValidationPlugin()]}>
<App />
</RattusProvider>
), root
)
