CLI usage

This is a short explanation of how the CLI works.

$ mysql-schema
	[--user]           root               # database user                 = process.env.DB_USER           || 'root'
	[--password]                          # database user password        = process.env.DB_PASSWORD       || ''
	[--host]           127.0.0.1          # database host                 = process.env.DB_HOST           || '127.0.0.1'
	[--port]           3306               # database port                 = process.env.DB_PORT           || 3306
	[--database]       test               # database name                 = process.env.DB_NAME           || 'test'
	[--configurations]                    # database configurations file  = process.env.DB_CONFIGURATIONS || false
	[--extensions]                        # database schema extensions    = process.env.DB_EXTENSIONS     || false
	[--as-json]                           # to generate a json & not a js = false
	--output           schema.{db}.js     # output file                   = "schema.${database}.js"

API usage

require("mysql-schema").getSchema({
	user:            process.env.DB_USER           || 'root',
	password:        process.env.DB_PASSWORD       || '',
	host:            process.env.DB_HOST           || '127.0.0.1',
	port:            process.env.DB_PORT           || '3306',
	database:        process.env.DB_NAME           || 'test',
	configurations:  process.env.DB_CONFIGURATIONS || false,
	extensions:      process.env.DB_EXTENSIONS     || false,

Master class of the mysql-schema API.

Asynchronous.

Description: Generates a schema representing the MySQL database pointing.

  • host: string - host of the database
    • default: process.env.DB_HOST or "127.0.0.1"
  • port: string - port of the database
    • default: process.env.DB_PORT or 3306
  • database: string - name of the database
    • default: process.env.DB_NAME or "test"
  • configurations: string - configurations file for the database (overrides the other parameters)
    • default: process.env.DB_CONFIGURATIONS or false
    • usage: object that allows to set the same database configuration from an external file.
  • extensions: string - extensions file for the generation
    • default: process.env.DB_EXTENSIONS or false
    • usage: object that allows to extend the schema:
      • perTable: filled with nested table, column, and extension properties.
      • perColumn: filled with nested column, and extension properties.
