drizzle-kit

What is drizzle-kit?

Drizzle-kit is an npm package designed to simplify database migrations and schema management for JavaScript and TypeScript applications. It provides a set of tools to create, manage, and apply database migrations in a structured and efficient manner.

What are drizzle-kit's main functionalities?

Create Migrations

This feature allows you to create new database migrations. The code sample demonstrates how to create a migration that adds a 'users' table with columns for 'id', 'name', 'email', and timestamps.

const { createMigration } = require('drizzle-kit');

createMigration('add-users-table', (migration) => {
  migration.createTable('users', (table) => {
    table.increments('id').primary();
    table.string('name');
    table.string('email').unique();
    table.timestamps();
  });
});

Apply Migrations

This feature allows you to apply all pending migrations to your database. The code sample shows how to apply migrations using the `applyMigrations` function.

const { applyMigrations } = require('drizzle-kit');

applyMigrations();

Rollback Migrations

This feature allows you to rollback the last applied migration. The code sample demonstrates how to rollback the most recent migration using the `rollbackMigration` function.

const { rollbackMigration } = require('drizzle-kit');

rollbackMigration();

List Migrations

This feature allows you to list all migrations, both applied and pending. The code sample shows how to list migrations using the `listMigrations` function.

const { listMigrations } = require('drizzle-kit');

listMigrations();

Other packages similar to drizzle-kit

knex

Knex.js is a SQL query builder for JavaScript that supports various database systems. It provides a powerful and flexible API for building and executing SQL queries, as well as managing database migrations. Compared to drizzle-kit, Knex.js offers more extensive query building capabilities but may have a steeper learning curve.

sequelize

Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. It features solid transaction support, relations, eager and lazy loading, read replication, and more. While Sequelize offers a comprehensive ORM solution, drizzle-kit focuses specifically on database migrations and schema management.

typeorm

TypeORM is an ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript (ES7, ES6, ES5). It supports various databases and provides a robust set of features for managing database schemas and migrations. TypeORM is more feature-rich and supports advanced ORM functionalities, whereas drizzle-kit is more lightweight and focused on migrations.
