About
This module is part of ORM. It's used synchronize model tables in supported dialects. Sorry there is no API documentation for now but there are a couple of tests you can read and find out how to use it if you want.
Example
Install orm & the required driver (eg: mysql).
Create a file with the contents below and change insert your database credentials.
Run once and you'll see table ddl_sync_test appear in your database. Then make some changes to it (add/drop/change columns)
and run the code again. Your table should always return to the same structure.
var orm = require("orm"); var mysql = require("mysql"); var Sync = require("sql-ddl-sync").Sync; orm.connect("mysql://username:password@localhost/database", function (err, db) { if (err) throw err; var driver = db.driver; var sync = new Sync({ dialect : "mysql", driver : driver, debug : function (text) { console.log("> %s", text); } }); sync.defineCollection("ddl_sync_test", { id : { type: "serial", key: true, serial: true }, name : { type: "text", required: true }, age : { type: "integer" }, male : { type: "boolean" }, born : { type: "date", time: true }, born2 : { type: "date" }, int2 : { type: "integer", size: 2 }, int4 : { type: "integer", size: 4 }, int8 : { type: "integer", size: 8 }, float4 : { type: "number", size: 4 }, float8 : { type: "number", size: 8 }, photo : { type: "binary" } }); sync.sync(function (err) { if (err) { console.log("> Sync Error"); console.log(err); } else { console.log("> Sync Done"); } process.exit(0); }); });
Test
To test, first make sure you have development dependencies installed. Go to the root folder and do:
Then, just run the tests.
If you have a supported database server and want to test against it, first install the module:
# if you have a mysql server npm install mysql # if you have a postgresql server npm install pg
And then run:
node test/run-db --uri 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database'
