Object Relational Mapping Node JS using Sequelize

Prerequisites

Overview

/images/orm-nodejs-1.png

Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) is a technique that lets you query and manipulate data from a database using an object-oriented paradigm. When talking about ORM, most people are referring to a library that implements the Object-Relational Mapping technique, hence the phrase “an ORM”.

Project Setup and Dependencies

Create account in Clever Cloud and create a database account, we will use a Postgre SQL for the database.

Choose Personal Space -> Create -> ad add-on then choose a Postgre SQL and click select. After that choose a plan like below.

mkdir orm-nodejs
cd orm-nodejs
yarn init

Create .env file and fill like below.

CREATE SEQUENCE id_transaction_seq start 1 increment 1;
CREATE SEQUENCE id_transaction_detail_seq start 1 increment 1;

CREATE TABLE "transaction" (
  "id" bigint PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('id_transaction_seq'),
  "created_at" TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  "updated_at" TIMESTAMP,
  "transaction_ref_number" varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  "transaction_date" TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  "customer_name" varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  "cost" bigint NOT NULL,
  "shipping_cost" bigint NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE "transaction_detail" (
  "id" bigint PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('id_transaction_detail_seq'),
  "created_at" TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  "updated_at" TIMESTAMP,
  "transaction_id" bigint NOT NULL,
  "stuff" varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  "price" bigint NOT NULL,
  "qty" int NOT NULL,
  "total" bigint NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT fk_transaction FOREIGN KEY (transaction_id) REFERENCES transaction(id)
);

Install Dependency

Install the required dependencies, type yarn command in terminal like below.

1
yarn add express sequelize dotenv pg pg-hstore cors nodemon

Add codes below into package.json.

Implementation

Create Initial Routes and Server

Create an initial routes like below.

import { Router } from 'express';

const router = Router();

router.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
    res.json({message: 'ok'});
});

export default router;

Create a server to provide the api, fill the code like below.

import express, { json, urlencoded } from "express";
import cors from "cors";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
import routes from  "./routes.js";

dotenv.config();
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.SERVER_PORT;

var corsOptions = {
    origin: "http://localhost:8000"
};

app.use(cors(corsOptions));
app.use(json());
app.use(urlencoded({ 
    extended: true 
}));

app.use('/api', routes);

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log("Running on port ", PORT);
});

Try to run with yarn run dev and consume base path with curl http://localhost:8000/api/ in terminal like below. And we should get an output {"message":"ok"}

Database Configuration

Create database configuration with .env file to load properties in app/config/database.js like following code.

import { Sequelize } from 'sequelize';
dotenv.config();

const db = new Sequelize(
    process.env.DB_NAME,
    process.env.DB_USER,
    process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
    {
        host: process.env.DB_HOST,
        dialect: process.env.DB_DIALECT,
        pool: {
            max: 5,
            min: 0,
            acquire: 30000,
            idle: 10000
        }
    }
)

export default db;

Model

Create model transaction and transaction_detail in app/model/**. First, we create transaction.js like following code.

import Sequelize from 'sequelize';
import db from '../config/database.js';

const Transaction = db.define('transaction', {
    id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        primaryKey: true,
        allowNull: false,
        defaultValue: db.Sequelize.literal("nextval('id_transaction_seq')")
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false,
        allowNull: false
    },
    updatedAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false
    },
    transactionRefNumber: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false
    },
    transactionDate: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        allowNull: false
    },
    customerName: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false
    },
    cost: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false
    },
    shippingCost: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false
    }
}, {
    tableName: 'transaction',
    underscored: true
});

export default Transaction;

And transactionDetail.js model like following code.

import Sequelize from 'sequelize';
import db from '../config/database.js';
import Transaction from './transaction.js';

const TransactionDetail = db.define('transaction_detail', {
    id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
        primaryKey: true,
        allowNull: false,
        defaultValue: db.Sequelize.literal("nextval('id_transaction_detail_seq')")
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false,
        allowNull: false
    },
    updatedAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE,
        defaultValue: Sequelize.NOW,
        allowNull: false
    },
    transactionId: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false,
        references: {
            model: 'transaction', // 'transaction' refer to table name
            key: 'id'
        }
    },
    stuff: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING,
        allowNull: false
    },
    price: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false
    },
    qty: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false
    },
    total: {
        type: Sequelize.BIGINT,
        allowNull: false
    }
}, {
    tableName: 'transaction_detail',
    underscored: true
});

TransactionDetail.belongsTo(Transaction, { as: 'transaction', foreignKey: 'transactionId', targetKey: 'id' });
export default TransactionDetail;

Take note for this line

1
TransactionDetail.belongsTo(Transaction, { as: 'transaction', foreignKey: 'transactionId', targetKey: 'id' });

That mean, TransactionDetail have a constraint to Transaction model.

Service to Create a new Transaction

Create app/service/transactionService.js and create method to insert a new transaction like following code.

import Transaction from '../model/transaction.js';
import TransactionDetail from '../model/transactionDetail.js';
import db from '../config/database.js'

export const create = async (req, res, next) => {
    console.log('Start execute create new transaction');

    let t;

    // Get request body
    const request = req.body;
    console.log('Request::: ' + JSON.stringify(request));

    try {
        // define managed transaction
        t = await db.transaction();

        const transaction = await Transaction.create({
            transactionRefNumber: request.transactionRefNumber,
            transactionDate: Date.now(),
            customerName: request.customerName,
            cost: request.cost,
            shippingCost: request.shippingCost
        }, {
            transaction: t
        });
        console.log('Transaction:: ' + transaction);

        for (let i = 0; i < request.details.length; i++) {
            const detail = request.details[i];
            await TransactionDetail.create({
                transactionId: transaction.id,
                stuff: detail.stuff,
                price: detail.price,
                qty: detail.qty,
                total: detail.total,
            }, {
                transaction: t
            });
        }

        // Commit managed transaction
        await t.commit();
        res.send(transaction);
    } catch(err) {
        // Rollback managed transaction
        await t.rollback();

        console.log('Happened error when save transaction data. ', err);
        res.status(500).send({
            message: err.message
        })
    }
    console.log('End execute create new transaction');
}

In this code, we use a transactional database transaction commit and rollback. So, if we got error when inserting a new row, the database will be rollback to before insert.

Routing

Then, we will create a new routes in app/routes/transactionRoute.js like following code.

import { Router } from 'express';
import * as transactionService from '../service/transactionService.js';

const router = Router();

// Transaction
router.post('/', transactionService.create);

export default router;

Lets try to run by typing in your favourite terminal yarn run dev. And open your postman and fill data like below.

    "customerName": "Maverick",
    "cost": 400000,
    "shippingCost": 18000,
    "details": [
        {
            "stuff": "Speaker",
            "price": 200000,
            "qty": 1,
            "total": 200000
        },
        {
            "stuff": "Headset",
            "price": 180000,
            "qty": 1,
            "total": 180000
        },
        {
            "stuff": "Case Iphone 6S",
            "price": 20000,
            "qty": 1,
            "total": 20000
        }
    ]
}

ANd we should got an output.

  "customerName": "Maverick",
  "cost": "400000",
  "shippingCost": "18000"
}

Service to Get All Transaction

After we create a new transaction, we will create a service to get all of transaction or search transaction by parameter. Add the following code into app/service/transactionService.js

export const getAll = async (req, res, next) => {
    console.log('Start execute find all transaction');
    const transactions = await Transaction.findAll();
    res.send(transactions);
    console.log('End execute find all transaction');
}

export const search = async (req, res, next) => {
    console.log('Start execute search transaction by parameter');
    console.log('Search Request:: ' + JSON.stringify(req.body));
    const transaction = await Transaction.findAll({
        where: {
            transactionRefNumber: {
                [Sequelize.Op.like]: '%' + req.body.transactionRefNumber + '%'
            },
            customerName: {
                [Sequelize.Op.like]: '%' + req.body.customerName + '%'
            }
        }
    });
    res.send(transaction);
    console.log('End execute search transaction by parameter');
}

Get All Transaction Routes

Then, we will create routes to get all transaction or search transaction data by parameter. Add the following code into app/routes/transactionRoute.js

1
2
router.get('/', transactionService.getAll);
router.get('/search', transactionService.search);

Trying our api using postman.

Get all transaction.
