Blitz-ORM
A TypeScript ORM for graph databases using a JSON-based query language (BQL), compatible with TypeDB and SurrealDB.
Overview
Blitz-ORM is an Object Relational Mapper designed specifically for graph databases. It uses Blitz Query Language (BQL), a JSON-based query language similar to GraphQL, which simplifies building dynamic queries by avoiding string-based syntax. The ORM translates BQL schemas into database-specific queries, currently supporting TypeDB and SurrealDB with plans to expand to other databases.
Key Features
- Blitz Query Language (BQL) — Uses JSON instead of strings for queries, making it easier to construct and manipulate queries programmatically.
- Multi-Database Compatibility — Works with TypeDB and SurrealDB, with basic support for querying across multiple databases simultaneously.
- TypeScript Integration — Built with TypeScript and includes a type generator for deriving types from BQL schemas.
- Next-auth Compatibility — Fully compatible with Next-auth (Auth.js), with an adapter planned for publication.
- Schema Translation — Converts BQL schemas into database-specific schemas (e.g., TypeQL for TypeDB), though manual translation is currently required.
Philosophy
Blitz-ORM aims to simplify graph database interactions by providing a flexible, JSON-based query language that integrates seamlessly with modern TypeScript development workflows.
