v1.3.8

[1.3.8] - 2025-10-18

Added

• Introduced programmatic defineModel API for model definitions, eliminating the need for decorators (model.ts).
• Added MetadataStorage class to manage model configurations without reflect-metadata.
• Added support for defining lifecycle hooks in ModelConfig or as class methods (hooks.ts).
• Added example.ts to demonstrate the new programmatic API usage.
• Extended ModelConfig interface to support columns, relations, hooks, versioning, and soft deletes (types.ts).

Changed

• Replaced decorator-based model definitions with defineModel API, removing dependency on reflect-metadata and TypeScript experimental features (experimentalDecorators, emitDecoratorMetadata).
• Updated stabilize.ts to export defineModel and remove reflect-metadata import.
• Modified repository.ts to use MetadataStorage for table names, columns, relations, validators, and soft delete fields.
• Rewrote hooks.ts to support hooks via ModelConfig and class methods, integrated with MetadataStorage.
• Updated migrations.ts to generate schemas using MetadataStorage instead of decorator metadata.
• Revised types.ts to remove decorator-related types and add ModelConfig, ColumnConfig, and RelationConfig interfaces.
• Updated README.md to reflect the new programmatic API, remove decorator references, and update examples.
• Ensured compatibility with verbatimModuleSyntax by using export type for type exports in stabilize.ts.

Removed

• Deleted decorators.ts as decorators are no longer used.
• Removed dependency on reflect-metadata from the project.

Fixed

• Fixed TypeScript type errors in repository.ts for columns and relations by mapping MetadataStorage outputs to match expected types.
• Corrected runHooks in repository.ts to call hook.callback(entity) instead of hook().
• Fixed TypeScript verbatimModuleSyntax error in stabilize.ts by separating type and value exports.
