NormA dependency-free Lua ORM

Model your tables, query them fluently, and await the results. Runs on nanos world, FiveM, and plain Lua.

Zero dependencies, one file

Ships as a single self-contained bundle with light-class embedded. No require chains, no external libraries.

Every async operation returns a promise of your framework (nanos, FiveM, or built-in) with a uniform promise:await().

belongsTo / hasOne / hasMany / many-to-many, with lazy and eager loading (no N+1), nested includes, and per-relation options.

where_*, joins, aggregations, group_by / having, paginate, named scopes, where_has and with_count.

Migrations, soft deletes, transactions, lifecycle hooks, auto timestamps with dirty tracking, atomic upsert and bulk inserts.

LuaCATS annotations everywhere, so User:find(1):await() is typed as NormRecord? with editor autocomplete.
