nodejs orm many to many - node.js

Question

Hello Im trying to do associaton with many to many in node using node-orm2.
I have this tables:
project --> id, name
user --> id, name
user_project --> user_fk, project_fk (this is many to many association table)
The controller returns me a list of users and a list of projects, but i need to return in a both another property with projects of every user and users of every prject.
Models:
module.exports = function (orm, db) {
var Project = db.define('project', {
name : { type: 'text', required: true }
},
{
methods: {
serialize: function () {
return {
id : this.id,
name : this.name
};
}
}
});
};
module.exports = function (orm, db) {
var User = db.define('user', {
name : { type: 'text', required: true },
email : { type: 'text', required: true }
},
{
methods: {
serialize: function () {
return {
id : this.id,
name : this.name,
email : this.email
};
}
}
});
};
Controller:
module.exports = {
list: function (req, res, next) {
req.models.project.find().limit(4).order('-created').all(function (err, messages) {
if (err) return next(err);
var projects = messages.map(function (m) {
return m.serialize();
});
console.log(projects);
});
req.models.user.find().limit(4).order('-created').all(function (err, messages) {
if (err) return next(err);
var users = messages.map(function (m) {
return m.serialize();
});
console.log(users);
});
res.sendfile(settings.path + '/public/index2.html');
}
How can I do this I'm confused, I readed the documentation but i don't understand this.

Had some issues with node-orm also...
You can do it with light-orm or bookshelf.js.
In light-orm you can simply extend model with complex request like this:
var SiteCollection = new ORM.Collection({
connector: ORM.driver,
tableName: 'site',
modelExtension: {
getAds: function(callback) {
var query = "SELECT DISTINCT `ads`.* FROM `ads` INNER JOIN `siteads` " +
"ON `ads`.`id` = `siteads`.`ads_id` " +
"WHERE site_id = " + this.get('id');
ORM.Collections.AdsCollection.find(query, callback);
},
renderAds: function(callback) {
var that = this;
this.getAds(function(err, ads) {
var html = ejs.render(adsTemplate, {
content: new ORM.Collection(ads).toJSON()
});
fs.writeFileSync(writeDir + that.get('id') + ".html", html, {
encoding: 'utf8'
});
callback();
});
}
}
});
Try it: https://npmjs.org/package/light-orm
