Why "Bavard"?

In French, bavard means "talkative" or "chatty".

We chose this name because we believe your data layer should be descriptive and fluent. Bavard turns boring SQL interactions into a natural conversation between your code and your database, making complex queries as easy as a friendly chat.

user_repository.dart

1final users = await User()

2.query()

3.where(User.schema.age.greaterThan(18))

4.where(User.schema.isActive.equals(true))

5.withRelations(['posts', 'profile'])

6.orderByDesc(User.schema.createdAt)

7.get();

8// It's that simple. 💬
