DBML

# JS Module

# core

NPM

A core package that is responsible for parsing and converting between different formats

  • Parse DBML and SQL to Database object
  • Export SQL and DBML from Database object
  • Convert DBML to SQL and SQL to DBML

# Installation

npm install @dbml/core
# or
yarn add @dbml/core

# API

# importer

const { importer } = require('@dbml/core');
# importer.import( str, format )

  • Arguments:

    • {string} str
    • {'mysql'|'postgres'|'dbml'|'schemarb'|'mssql'|'json'} format

  • Returns:

    • {string} DBML

  • Usage:
    Generate DBML from SQL

const fs = require('fs');
const { importer } = require('@dbml/core');

// read PostgreSQL file script
const postgreSQL = fs.readFileSync('./schema.sql', 'utf-8');

// generate DBML from PostgreSQL script
const dbml = importer.import(postgreSQL, 'postgres');

# exporter

const { exporter } = require('@dbml/core');
# exporter.export( str, format )

  • Arguments:

    • {string} str
    • {'mysql'|'postgres'|'dbml'|'schemarb'|'mssql'|'json'} format

  • Returns:

    • {string} SQL

  • Usage:
    Export DBML to SQL

const fs = require('fs');
const { exporter } = require('@dbml/core');

// get DBML file content
const dbml = fs.readFileSync('./schema.dbml', 'utf-8');

// generate MySQL from DBML
const mysql = exporter.export(dbml, 'mysql');

# Class: Parser

const { Parser } = require('@dbml/core');
# Parser.parse( str, format )

  • Arguments:

    • {string} str
    • {'mysql'|'postgres'|'dbml'|'schemarb'|'mssql'|'json'} format

  • Returns: Database object

  • Usage:
    Parse specified format to Database object

const fs = require('fs');
const { Parser } = require('@dbml/core');

// get DBML file content
const dbml = fs.readFileSync('./schema.dbml', 'utf-8');

// parse DBML to Database object
const database = Parser.parse(dbml, 'dbml');

# Class: ModelExporter

const { ModelExporter } = require('@dbml/core');
# ModelExporter.export( model, format, isNormalized = true )

  • Arguments:

    • {model} Database
    • {'mysql'|'postgres'|'dbml'|'schemarb'|'mssql'|'json'} format
    • {boolean} isNormalized

  • Returns: specified format string

  • Usage:
    Export Database object to specified format

const { ModelExporter } = require('@dbml/core');

// get DBML file content
const dbml = fs.readFileSync('./schema.dbml', 'utf-8');

// parse DBML to Database object
const database = Parser.parse(dbml, 'dbml');

// Export Database object to PostgreSQL
const postgreSQL = ModelExporter.export(database, 'postgres', false);
// or
const postgreSQL = ModelExporter.export(database.normalize(), 'postgres');
