ReferenceError: persist is not defined

[thelonious]

I'm running node v0.10.21, orm v2.1.3, orm-timestamps v0.2.0. I'm mostly following the example code:

app.use(orm.express(config.mysql, {
    define: function(db, models) {
        db.use(modts);

        var user = db.define('user', {
            username: String,
            email: String,
            password: String
        }, {
            timestamp: true
        });

        user.sync(function(err) {
            if (err) {
                console.error("error creating user model: " + err);
            }
        });
    }
}));

and I get the resulting exception:

ReferenceError: persist is not defined

This is the line in orm-timestamps:

if(persist && options.createdProperty !== false)

I don't see 'persist' defined in the module itself, so that may be the issue here. Just for testing purposes, I added "var persist = true" after "options" is extend and that resolved the issue for me.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the bug report - was caused by a quick edit I made to the code to add the option of not persisting timestamps to the database (for example, in a server environment where you wish to keep track of the last modification date for objects in memory).

I've fixed the issue in v0.2.1.

Enjoy 😄

Works great! Thanks!
