Model.createTable() ​

Axe API supports timestamps as default. While you are creating a new database table in your migrations, you can add timestamps with the Knex.js helpers. After that, you don't have to do anything. Axe API will manage your timestamps automatically.

You can look at the simple timestamp example for a migration file;

export const up = function (knex) {
  return knex.schema.createTable("users", function (table) {
    table.increments();
    table.string("email").unique();
    table.timestamps();
  });
};

Axe API use created_at column as default column name. But you can change it and use your naming structure. To do that, you should add the following getters in your model;

import { Model } from "axe-api";

class User extends Model {
  get createdAtColumn(): string {
    return "my_created_at";
  }
}

export default User;

If you don't want to use timestamps in a model, you have to return NULL in your timestamp naming getters.

import { Model } from "axe-api";

class User extends Model {
  get createdAtColumn(): null {
    return null;
  }
}

export default User;
