Base DAO

Base DAO exports a createEntityDAO function which creates a DAO with the following capabilities:

• a set of CRUD operations, implemented using sequelize
• authorization capabilities, using a daoAuth interface implemented by the consumer of the package
• CRUD mutations notifications (e.g. can be used for auditing)
• declarative cascade-delete mechanism
• hooks mechanism, e.g. preSave, preDelete, postFetch, etc.

Quick start

Generate DAO classes using the following command:

$ generate-dao-schema --dataModelPath PATH_TO_YOUR_DATA_MODEL --generatedFolderPath PATH_TO_YOUR_GENERATED_FOLDER

• dataModelPath is not required and the default value is src/schema/datamodel.graphql
• generatedFolderPath is not required and the default value is src/schema/generated

Add the following scripts to your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "prebuild: "yarn generate-dao-schema",
  "prestart": "yarn generate-dao-schema",
  "generate-dao-schema": "generate-dao-schema"
}

Example of usage (assume that Survey entity exists)

import { SurveyDAO } from '../../generated';

const surveyDAO = new SurveyDAO({
    hooks,
    daoAuth, 
    publishCrudEvent
});
...
const createdSurvey = await surveyDAO.createSurvey(...);
