Ask HN: Is there an ORM as good as SQLAlchemy for TypeScript yet?

4 points by rattray 6y ago ↗ HN

I've seen TypeORM, slonik, sequelize-typescript. TypeORM seems the most widely used, but looks a little Java-like and has over 1800 open issues. SQLAlchemy has a tenth as many.

Has anyone used a SQL library with TS and found it to be highly robust, powerful, ergonomic, and well-typed?

Unfortunately, no. TypeORM is as good as it gets in Nodejs ecosystem. Also if you choose it, read this pinned issue first: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/3267

ORMs are something the Node community has never figured out, even almost ten years later.

This is true for Go ecosystem too.

I have come across several but used none (not really a Node developer so no reason to try any). Are they all just not up to snuff or something?

Have you tried Prisma?
