Too Long; Didn't Read
In this tutorial, we'll examine a few libraries which add layers of abstraction that let you read and manipulate database data in a more "JavaScript-like" way. The first library we'll talk about is Knex. Knex abstracts SQL to a certain extent, but not very far. We still need to understand the underlying SQL, but we can write it in more JavaScript-like syntax. The purpose of the rest of the database libraries we're going to consider is to let you treat the data in your database more like the JavaScript objects in your application.
