dblookup-markdown v0.0.5

dblookup-markdown

The easiest way to document your Database schema.

This package will generate Markdown that beautifully renders your Database schema in an easily explorable document.

$ npm install dblookup-markdown -g

Usage

Command Line API

Installing the package adds a dblookup-markdown script. Point it at a schema and the output will be written to stdout.

The schema may be retrieved from a Database endpoint:

$ dblookup-markdown "Data Source=SERVER\INSTANCE;Initial Catalog=Demo;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=APP_Demo;password=XXXXX" > lookup.md

…or update existing file:

$ dblookup-markdown "Data Source=SERVER\INSTANCE;Initial Catalog=Demo;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=APP_Demo;password=XXXXX" -u "./lookup.md"

If --update-file is given, the generated Markdown will be output to the given file between the <!-- START dblookup-markdown --> and <!-- END dblookup-markdown --> comment markers instead of printed to STDOUT. If the file does not exist, it will be created (and will include the comment markers for future updates).
