Orbit is a composable data framework for managing the complex needs of today's web applications.
Although Orbit is primarily used as a flexible client-side ORM, it can also be used server-side in Node.js.
Orbit is designed for applications that need to:
-
Interact with data from a variety of sources: a REST server, a WebSocket stream, an IndexedDB backup, an in-memory store, etc.
-
Work offline, work online, and seamlessly transition between both modes.
-
Create optimistic and pessimistic user experiences (and even both in the same app).
-
Use a common schema to model data, regardless of its source.
-
Query and update data with a common set of expressions, understood across sources.
-
Track changes deterministically.
-
Fork immutable stores and then merge changes back if and when ready.
-
Support undo / redo.
Orbit is written in Typescript and distributed on npm through the @orbit organization. Pre-built distributions are provided in several module formats and ES language levels.
