Working with Models

WARNING

Making a model persistent can have different meanings, depending on your implementation. In our local example, it will push this model to a local array, containing all persistent models.

Creating Models

To create a new model, you can simply create a new instance of your model class.

const task = new Task()

Setting Attributes

Now let's change some attributes.

const task = new Task()
task.title = 'Buy milk'
// or
const task = Task.make({ title: 'Buy milk' })

Making it persistent

Until now, our task is not persistent, it can not be accessed anywhere else in our application. Let's change this.

const task = new Task()
task.title = 'Buy milk'
await task.save()
// or
const task = await Task.create({ title: 'Buy milk' })

Updating Models

To update a Model, you can reuse the save method.

const task = await Task.create({ title: 'Buy milk' })

task.done = true
await task.save()

Removing Models

Deleting models is as easy as creating them.

const task = await Task.create({ title: 'Buy milk' })

await task.remove()
