node-db-importer
This module produces JSON files from a database. You can then use these files for other applications like JHipster.
Note: This module is a prototype, it doesn't do much at the moment. However it is easy to contribute to the project, just keep reading this document.
When completed, this module will :
- Connect to a SQL database
- Get a description of the database (using
SHOW COLUMNS,DESCRIBE,EXPLAIN, etc.) - Get a SQL dump of the table entries (if you need it)
- Convert both to JSON, according to your preferences
