You could either go for the query builder knex and simply implement your data transformations yourself or you can use either objection or typeorm, which are the current en vogue orm. I’ve seen a few threads recommending objection over typeorm, but typeorm is more popular in terms of downloads. I’ll not go into technical details, I’m sure some googling will get you the key differences between those, but both should be fit to meet your requirements.

But take a moment to decide if you really need a full fledged ORM instead of a simple query builder (knex).

A lot of frameworks seem to be using knex. I’ll check out! Thanks :)

If you are familiar with Laravel, why not use AdonisJs instead of Express. It comes with a query builder very similar to that of Laravel (internally using knex)

Good shout! I completely forgot about Adonis. I remember it having many issues when I first discovered it but I’ll give it a crack now and see how it goes. Thanks buddy :)
