objection-table-name

What To Solve

class FooBar extends Model {
  static get tableName() {
    return `foo_bar`; // you type it on every model
  }
}

what about:

class FooBar extends Model { }
console.log(FooBar.tableName);
// => foo_bar

Installation

$ npm install @xyluet/objection-table-name

Usage

const { Model } = require(`objection`);
const TableNamer = require(`@xyluet/objection-table-name`);

// The common way is:
// - make this is as your base class

// BaseModel.js
class BaseModel extends TableNamer()(Model) { }

// TransactionDetail.js
class TransactionDetail extends BaseModel { }
console.log(TransactionDetail.tableName);
// => transaction_detail

You can define your own mapper

function upperFirst([s, ...rest]) {
  return [s.toUpperCase(), ...rest].join(``);
}

class BaseModel extends TableNamer({
  caseMapper: upperFirst,
})(Model) { }

class foo_Bar extends BaseModel { }
console.log(TransactionDetail.tableName);
// => Foo_Bar

Lodash provides some already defined caseMappers. You can use it too.
