Quantava

About

Quantava is an open-source ORM built on top of better-sqlite3, providing a precise and efficient abstraction layer for SQLite databases. It eliminates the complexities of raw SQL queries while ensuring high performance.

Get Started

Prerequisites for Windows

To install better-sqlite3 on Windows, ensure you have the following installed:

• Microsoft Visual Studio (with the "Desktop development with C++" workload)
• Microsoft C++ Build Tools
• Windows 11 SDK
• Latest MSVC compiler

Download and install these components via the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer.

Alternatively, install the Build Tools for Visual Studio directly:

Prerequisites for Linux/macOS

On Linux and macOS, installation of better-sqlite3 is generally simpler but may require:

• Build essentials:

  • Linux: build-essential package or equivalent (e.g., gcc, make, g++)
  • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)

• SQLite development libraries:

  • Linux: libsqlite3-dev or equivalent

  • macOS: Usually bundled, but if issues arise, install via Homebrew:

    brew install sqlite3

If these tools or libraries are missing, better-sqlite3 installation may fail.

Install better-sqlite3

Quantava does not include better-sqlite3 out of the box to maintain its lightweight nature. Before using Quantava, install better-sqlite3 in your project:

npm i better-sqlite3

Install Quantava

npm i quantava

yarn add quantava

pnpm install quantava
