Synopsis

ORM::ActiveRecord is an object-relational mapping module for Raku that mostly follows the Active Record Pattern.

It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite through a common adapter layer. Application code is the same regardless of the backend; pick one with DATABASE_URL or config/application.json. See Adapters.

Install

ORM::ActiveRecord can be installed using the zef module installation tool:

zef install --/test ORM::ActiveRecord

--/test is suggested because you probably don't have a test database setup. You can of course setup a test database.
