I developed both nativescript and electron projects with vuejs. I havent needed any ORM tool so far and I also dont suggest to use an ORM tool with nativescript, there are not much more samples on the web, you might have some issues on the way. You should find suitable libraries for both NS and Electron. For database, there is a NS plugin for SQLite. you may also think storing your data as key value pairs if you can. You can use Vuex as client state manager, it's suitable for both NS and Electron. And as a last suggest, you can use vue-electron template for your electron project; https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-electron
