db-console v1.0.1

DB Console

The database REPL console for modern node.js app.

Design Philosophy

There isn't a tool in javaScript world which behaves similar to Ruby on Rails' rails console. This is really a handy feature: opening up an REPL console and executing some model commands. However, javaScript is more like a split world. I want to make a generic console tool to hook into different ORM environments.

Install

It's recommended to install this locally to your package.

npm install --save-dev db-console

And add the following to your scripts field in package.json.

"console": "db-console"

Configuration

DB Console read configurations from several places.

1. dbConsole field in package.json
2. configuration file which default name is .dbconsolerc
3. command line arguments

Precedence

Configuration file take precedence over dbConsole field. And command line arguments have the highest precedence. You can overwrite any configuration with command line arguments.

Free Format

You can write configuration file in any format you want. If the file doesn't have extension, DB Console tries to treat it as json, cson or yaml and load. If the file has extension, supported types include js, json, ts, coffee, cson and yaml.

Customizable

You can use --config-file to make DB Console load the configuration file you want. In this case, the default configuration file is ignored.
