Unpopular (?) opinion: Object-Relational-Mapping create more problems than what they solve. They help you in the 80% part that's easy, and slow you down in the 20% part that is actually hard (where you are going to spend 80% of the time anyway).

I’m a big fan of @ringel’s 15 minute rule: when you get stuck, spend 15 minutes documenting what you know, what you need to know, and use that to ask for help.
Sometimes, at minute 14, you answer your own question. But if not, your question is clear.

Woah, this is elegant JavaScript. Need to conditionally add a property to an object? Here's a slick approach.
The right-hand side is only applied if the condition is true. If the condition is falsy, the spread operator does nothing.
