 Configuration options are in `config/environment.js`:
 
-* `DB_AUTO_SAVE`: Whether to auto-save.
+* `DB_AUTO_SAVE`: Auto-save mode — `'true'` (cron-based interval), `'false'` (disabled), or `'onUpdate'` (save after every create/update/delete via REST API).
 * `DB_FILE`: File path to store data.
-* `DB_SAVE_INTERVAL`: Interval in seconds for auto-save.
+* `DB_MODE`: Storage mode — `'file'` (single JSON file, default) or `'directory'` (one file per collection in a directory).
+* `DB_DIRECTORY`: Directory name for collection files when mode is `'directory'` (default: `'db'`).
+* `DB_SAVE_INTERVAL`: Interval in seconds for auto-save (only applies when `DB_AUTO_SAVE` is `'true'`).
 * `DB_SCHEMA_PATH`: Path to DB schema.
 
+In directory mode, each collection is stored as `{directory}/{collection}.json` (e.g., `db/animals.json`, `db/owners.json`). The main `db.json` is kept as a skeleton with empty arrays. Migration commands are available: `stonyx db:migrate-to-directory` and `stonyx db:migrate-to-file`.

+### MySQL Mode
+
+Set the `MYSQL_HOST` environment variable to enable MySQL persistence. The ORM loads all records into memory on startup and persists CRUD operations to MySQL automatically. Supports schema-aware migration generation, apply, rollback, and drift detection.

+## Lifecycle Hooks
+
+The ORM provides a powerful middleware-based hook system that allows you to run custom logic before and after CRUD operations. Hooks are perfect for validation, transformation, side effects, authorization, and auditing.
+
+### Overview
+
+Hooks run at key points in the request lifecycle:
+
+- **Before hooks**: Run before the operation executes. **Can halt operations** by returning a value (status code or response object).
+- **After hooks**: Run after the operation completes (logging, notifications, cache invalidation).
+
+### Event Naming Convention
+
+Events follow the pattern: `{timing}:{operation}:{modelName}`
+
+**Operations:**
+- `list` - GET collection (`/animals`)
+- `get` - GET single record (`/animals/1`)
+- `create` - POST new record (`/animals`)
+- `update` - PATCH existing record (`/animals/1`)
+- `delete` - DELETE record (`/animals/1`)
+
+**Examples:**
+- `before:create:animal` - Before creating an animal
+- `after:list:owner` - After fetching owner collection
+- `before:update:trait` - Before updating a trait
+
+### Hook Context Object
+
+Each hook receives a context object with comprehensive information:
+
+```javascript
+{
+  model: 'animal',           // Model name
+  operation: 'create',       // Operation type
+  request,                   // Express request object
+  params,                    // URL params (e.g., { id: 5 })
+  body,                      // Request body (POST/PATCH)
+  query,                     // Query parameters
+  state,                     // Request state object
+  record,                    // Record instance (after hooks, single operations)
+  records,                   // Record array (after hooks, list operations)
+  response,                  // Response data (after hooks)
+  oldState,                  // Previous record state (update/delete operations only)
+  recordId,                  // Record ID (delete operations in after hooks)
+}
+```
+
+**Important Notes**:
+- `oldState` is only available for `update` and `delete` operations
+- It contains a deep copy of the record's state **before** the operation executes (captured before the `before` hook fires)
+- The deep copy is created via JSON serialization (`JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())`) to ensure complete isolation
+- For `delete` operations, `recordId` is provided in after hooks since the record may no longer exist in the store
+- `oldState` is captured from `record.__data` or the record itself, providing access to the raw data structure
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Basic Hook Registration
+
+```javascript
+import { beforeHook, afterHook } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+// Validation before creating - can halt by returning a value
+beforeHook('create', 'animal', (context) => {
+  const { age } = context.body.data.attributes;
+  if (age < 0) {
+    return 400; // Halt with 400 Bad Request
+  }
+  // Return undefined to continue
+});
+
+// Logging after updates
+afterHook('update', 'animal', (context) => {
+  console.log(`Animal ${context.record.id} was updated`);
+});
+```
+
+#### Halting Operations
+
+Before hooks can halt operations by returning a value:
+
+```javascript
+import { beforeHook } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+// Return a status code to halt with that HTTP status
+beforeHook('create', 'animal', (context) => {
+  if (!context.body.data.attributes.name) {
+    return 400; // Bad Request
+  }
+});
+
+// Return an object to send a custom response
+beforeHook('delete', 'animal', (context) => {
+  const animal = store.get('animal', context.params.id);
+  if (animal.protected) {
+    return { errors: [{ detail: 'Cannot delete protected animals' }] };
+  }
+});
+
+// Return undefined (or nothing) to allow operation to continue
+beforeHook('update', 'animal', (context) => {
+  console.log('Update proceeding...');
+  // No return = operation continues
+});
+```
+
+#### Data Transformation
+
+```javascript
+// Normalize data before saving
+beforeHook('create', 'owner', (context) => {
+  const attrs = context.body.data.attributes;
+  if (attrs.email) {
+    attrs.email = attrs.email.toLowerCase().trim();
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Side Effects
+
+```javascript
+// Send notification after animal is adopted (using oldState to detect changes)
+afterHook('update', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  // Use oldState to compare before/after values
+  if (context.oldState && context.oldState.owner !== context.record.owner) {
+    await sendNotification({
+      type: 'adoption',
+      animalId: context.record.id,
+      previousOwner: context.oldState.owner,
+      newOwner: context.record.owner
+    });
+  }
+});
+
+// Cache invalidation
+afterHook('delete', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  await cache.invalidate(`owner:${context.params.id}:pets`);
+});
+```
+
+#### Change Detection
+
+The `oldState` property (available for `update` and `delete` operations) enables precise change tracking:
+
+```javascript
+// Detect specific field changes
+afterHook('update', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  if (!context.oldState) return; // No old state for create operations
+
+  // Check if a specific field changed
+  if (context.oldState.age !== context.record.age) {
+    console.log(`Age changed from ${context.oldState.age} to ${context.record.age}`);
+  }
+
+  // Track multiple field changes
+  const changedFields = [];
+  for (const key in context.record.__data) {
+    if (context.oldState[key] !== context.record.__data[key]) {
+      changedFields.push(key);
+    }
+  }
+
+  if (changedFields.length > 0) {
+    console.log(`Fields changed: ${changedFields.join(', ')}`);
+  }
+});
+
+// Access deleted record data
+afterHook('delete', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  console.log(`Deleted animal: ${context.oldState.type} (age: ${context.oldState.age})`);
+  // oldState contains full snapshot of the deleted record
+});
+```
+
+#### Authorization
+
+```javascript
+// Additional access control - halt with 403 if unauthorized
+beforeHook('delete', 'animal', (context) => {
+  const user = context.state.currentUser;
+  const animal = store.get('animal', context.params.id);
+
+  if (animal.owner !== user.id && !user.isAdmin) {
+    return 403; // Forbidden
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Auditing
+
+```javascript
+// Audit log for all changes with field-level change tracking
+afterHook('update', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  // Compare oldState with current record to capture exact changes
+  const changes = {};
+  if (context.oldState) {
+    for (const [key, newValue] of Object.entries(context.record.__data || context.record)) {
+      if (context.oldState[key] !== newValue) {
+        changes[key] = { from: context.oldState[key], to: newValue };
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+  await auditLog.create({
+    operation: 'update',
+    model: context.model,
+    recordId: context.record.id,
+    userId: context.state.currentUser?.id,
+    timestamp: new Date(),
+    changes // Precise field-level changes: { age: { from: 2, to: 3 } }
+  });
+});
+
+// Audit deletes with full record snapshot
+afterHook('delete', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  await auditLog.create({
+    operation: 'delete',
+    model: context.model,
+    recordId: context.recordId,
+    userId: context.state.currentUser?.id,
+    timestamp: new Date(),
+    deletedData: context.oldState // Full snapshot of deleted record
+  });
+});
+```
+
+#### Error Handling
+
+For after hooks, wrap in try/catch if errors should not propagate:
+
+```javascript
+afterHook('create', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  try {
+    await sendWelcomeEmail(context.record.owner);
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Error is logged but doesn't fail the create operation
+    console.error('Failed to send welcome email:', error);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Hook Lifecycle Management
+
+#### Unsubscribing
+
+```javascript
+import { beforeHook } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+// Get unsubscribe function
+const unsubscribe = beforeHook('create', 'animal', handler);
+
+// Later, remove the hook
+unsubscribe();
+```
+
+#### Clearing Hooks
+
+```javascript
+import { clearHook, clearAllHooks } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+// Remove all hooks for a specific operation:model
+clearHook('create', 'animal');
+
+// Remove only before hooks
+clearHook('create', 'animal', 'before');
+
+// Remove only after hooks
+clearHook('create', 'animal', 'after');
+
+// Remove ALL hooks (useful for testing)
+clearAllHooks();
+```
+
+### Advanced Patterns
+
+#### Conditional Hooks
+
+```javascript
+beforeHook('update', 'animal', (context) => {
+  // Only validate if age is being updated
+  if ('age' in context.body.data.attributes) {
+    const { age } = context.body.data.attributes;
+    if (age < 0 || age > 50) {
+      return 400; // Bad Request
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Cross-Model Hooks
+
+```javascript
+// Update owner's pet count when animal is created
+afterHook('create', 'animal', async (context) => {
+  const owner = store.get('owner', context.record.owner);
+  if (owner) {
+    owner.petCount = (owner.petCount || 0) + 1;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Sequential Middleware
+
+```javascript
+// Multiple hooks run in registration order
+beforeHook('create', 'post', (context) => {
+  console.log('First middleware');
+  context.customData = { checked: true };
+});
+
+beforeHook('create', 'post', (context) => {
+  console.log('Second middleware');
+  // Can access data from previous hooks
+  if (!context.customData?.checked) {
+    return 403;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Hook Execution Order
+
+1. **Before hooks** fire first (sequentially, in registration order)
+2. **Main operation** executes (if no before hook halted)
+3. **After hooks** fire last (sequentially, in registration order)
+
+Before hooks can halt the operation by returning a value. After hooks run after completion and cannot halt.
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep hooks focused**: Each hook should do one thing well
+2. **Use async/await**: Hooks support async functions for consistency
+3. **Return values intentionally**: Only return a value from before hooks when you want to halt
+4. **Document side effects**: Make it clear what each hook does
+5. **Test hooks independently**: Write unit tests for hook logic
+6. **Avoid heavy operations**: Keep hooks fast to maintain performance
+7. **Clean up in tests**: Use `clearAllHooks()` in test teardown
+
+### Testing Hooks
+
+```javascript
+import { beforeHook, clearAllHooks } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+// Clean up after each test
+afterEach(() => {
+  clearAllHooks();
+});
+
+// Test that validation hook halts with 400
+test('validation hook rejects negative age', async () => {
+  beforeHook('create', 'animal', (context) => {
+    if (context.body.data.attributes.age < 0) {
+      return 400;
+    }
+  });
+
+  const response = await fetch('/animals', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    body: JSON.stringify({
+      data: { attributes: { age: -5 } }
+    })
+  });
+
+  assert.strictEqual(response.status, 400, 'Hook halted with 400');
+});
+```
+
