like-mysql

like-mysql is a simple, intuitive ORM for MySQL built on top of mysql2. Version 2.0.2 provides a promise-based API with automatic SQL query building for common operations like insert, select, update, delete, exists, and count. It supports transactions with a callback pattern and prepared statements by default. Key differentiators: minimal configuration, automatic WHERE handling, and integration with like-sql for query generation. Release cadence is low; the package has not seen updates since 2020. Compared to Sequelize or TypeORM, it offers a lightweight, no-frills experience with fewer features but lower complexity.
