ODM.js - Object Document mongodb library for node.js

What is ODM.js?

ODM.js is a minimalistic wrapper around the excelent node-mongodb-native driver. It's easy to use and pretty small. ODM's design is centered on:

1. Simplicity
2. Proper Error Handling and Recovery using callbacks
3. Use of common idioms

License

ODM is distributed under a MIT license. See the LICENSE file for more information.

Installation

ODM.js can be easily installed through NPM:

npm install odm

Usage

var ODM = require('ODM')

Sample Application/Quick Guide

Hello World

var User = ODM.model('users', {name: String, Birthday: Date});
User.findAll(function(err, users) {
  for(var i=0; i<users.length; i++) {
    console.log(users[i]);
  }
});

This is arguably the simplest working program you can write using ODM.js.

The code above fetches all the documents from the collection named users, and prints their contents (Name and Birthday).
