bookshelf.js count method

Question

I was searching high and low to find how to do basic counting (like SELECT COUNT(something) FROM table) with Bookshelf.js, but to no avail. Is there anything I\'m missing? Or is

Answer 1

//user.js
var db = require('./db');
var User = db.Model.extend({  
  tableName: 'users',
  hasTimestamps: true,
});
module.exports = User; 

//main.js
var User = require('./user');
User.where('pet', 'dog').count('*').then(function(count) {
  console.log("Total Count : " , count);
});

In the above code snippet User is a model having the attributes like pet and name.

The generated query will be as follows: select count(*) from user where pet='dog';
