Breeze Data Management for JavaScript Clients

Breeze is a library that helps you manage data in rich client applications. If you store data in a database, query and save those data as complex object graphs, and share these graphs across multiple screens of your JavaScript client, Breeze is for you.

Client-side querying, caching, dynamic object graphs, change tracking and notification, model validation, batch save, offline … all part of rich data management with Breeze. Breeze clients communicate with any remote service that speaks HTTP and JSON.

Breeze lets you develop applications using the same powerful idioms on the client and server. You can

• query with a rich query syntax
• navigate the graph of related entities
• track changes as you add/change/delete entities
• perform client-side validation
• save all changes in a single transaction
• use the same entity model on the server and client

Install from npm

npm install breeze-client@mjs

or

npm install breeze-client

The version tagged mjs uses updated Angular Package Format and ES2020 .mjs modules. It has esm2020 and fesm2020 folders, but no UMD bundles folder.

If you want the latest module format, and don't care about UMD bundles, use breeze-client@mjs.
