objection-timestamp

Automatically set create and update timestamps on your Objection.js models.

Installation

Install from npm:

npm install objection-timestamp

Register the plugin with an instance of objection:

const objectionTimestamp = require('objection-timestamp');
objectionTimestamp.register(objection);

Configuration

By default, objection-timestamp uses createdAt and updatedAt attributes for timestamping. You can optionally pass in an options object as the second argument to register to specify custom attributes to use for timestamps:

objectionTimestamp.register(objection, {
  create: 'createdOn',
  update: 'updatedOn'
});

Usage

When timestamps are enabled on a model, the appropriate timestamp attributes will be set to new Date() before insert and update actions.

Enable timestamps for a model

Set the timestamp static property on your model to true:

class MyModel {
  static get timestamp() {
    return true;
  }
}

Enable only a specific timestamp for a model

You can set the timestamp static property to an object to enable or disable specific a timestamp:

class MyModel {
  static get timestamp() {
    return {
      create: true,
      update: false
    }
  }
}

If either key is omitted it will be implicitly set to false.
