Easily work with relational databases in Javascript and Typescript
Relational-schema is a utility package to generate a semantic, complete schema of a relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) in Javascript, JSON and other formats.
Works with MySQL and PostgreSQL. SQLite coming soon.
Full docs here
One of the key benefits of working with relational databases is the strict schema. Often in our applications we fail to take advantage of this, instead we rely on handwritten simplifications such as ORM models.
Relational-schema gives TS/JS developers a complete database schema including some nice additions (see below for specs).
The schema can be output in json, es6, typescript and commonJS to suit multiple use-cases.
This schema can be used for building better, more automated tooling for working with relational databases in JS.
