ddltojson v0.1.0

Getting Started

Installation

To install simply run

npm i ddltojson

Usage

To use the library you just need to import the main function

import ddlToJson from 'ddltojson';

const ddlFileContents = await readFile('path/to/file.ddl');
const json = ddlToJson(ddlFileContents.toString())

The json output has the following format

{
  "statement": "name of the statement",
  "name": "name of the table",
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "name of the column",
      "type": "data type of the column",
      "constraints": "constrains of the column"
    },
  ],
  "primaryKey": [
    "primary key column name"
  ],
  "foreignKeys": [
    {
      "column": "local column name",
      "references": {
        "table": "name of the referenced table",
        "column": "name of the referenced column"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Here's an example of what it might look like

{
  "statement": "CREATE",
  "name": "addresses",
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "id",
      "type": "int",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT"
    },
    {
      "name": "customer_id",
      "type": "int",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    },
    {
      "name": "street",
      "type": "varchar(255)",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    },
    {
      "name": "city",
      "type": "varchar(255)",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    },
    {
      "name": "state",
      "type": "varchar(255)",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    },
    {
      "name": "zip",
      "type": "varchar(255)",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    },
    {
      "name": "type",
      "type": "enum('SHIPPING','BILLING','LIVING')",
      "constraints": "NOT NULL"
    }
  ],
  "primaryKey": [
    "id"
  ],
  "foreignKeys": [
    {
      "column": "customer_id",
      "references": {
        "table": "customers",
        "column": "id"
      }
    }
  ]
}
