Seriously. I've used Prisma for years but in the interest of giving different libraries a shot, I opted for Drizzle for my latest project.
The types are weird. It feels more like a table-relational mapping than an object-relational mapping.
If you really want granular control over your database but don't want to write SQL, then fine. Apart from that and being lighter, I've yet to find a good reason to use it over Prisma.
Can anyone convince me otherwise?
Hello,
I want to know if everything from App setup should be below or above the Connect to MongoDB & create server:
// Dependencies
const express = require("express");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Blog = require("./models/blog");
// Variables
const app = express();
const PORT = 4000;
// Connect to MongoDB & create server
async function connectToDatabase() {
try {
const dbURI = "ABC";
const mongooseInstance = await mongoose.connect(dbURI, { dbName: "nodejs-db" });
console.log("Connected to MongoDB database");
const server = app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`);
});
}
catch (error) {
console.log("An errror occured:", error);
}
}
connectToDatabase();
// App setup
app.set("view engine", "ejs");
app.use(express.static("public"));
// Node.js routes
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.render("index");
});
app.get("/about", (req, res) => {
res.render("about");
});
// Mongoose - Save blog
app.get("/add-blog", (req, res) => {
const doc = new Blog({
title: "Add new blog",
snippet: "About my new blog",
body: "More about my new blog"
});
async function saveDoc() {
try {
const savedDoc = await doc.save();
res.send(savedDoc);
}
catch (error) {
console.log("An error occured:", error);
}
}
saveDoc();
});
// Mongoose - Display blogs in descending order by date
app.get("/blogs", (req, res) => {
async function getBlogs() {
try {
const getBlogs = await Blog.find().sort({ createdAt: -1 });
res.render("blogs", { title: "Blogs", blogs: getBlogs });
}
catch (error) {
console.log("An errror occured:", error);
}
}
getBlogs();
})
// 404 handler
app.use((req, res) => {
res.status(404).render("404");
});Thank you.
