microdsl v1.0.3

MicroDSL

Content generator, takes the structure of any mysql database and automatically creates web forms, ORM models and many other custom content.

See Examples

Install

Using npm

npm install microdsl --save

Using yarn

yarn add microdsl

Example

Automatically building a simple web form

Step 1: Import package and connect your database

// test.js

var microdsl = require('microdsl')

// Mysql connect config
var config = {
  user: 'root',
  password: 'root',
  host: 'localhost',
  database: 'project'
}

microdsl(config, './form.html.microdsl').then(compiled => {
  console.log(compiled)
  /*
    [
      'here the content of your generated file',
      'here the content of your 2° generated file',
      ...
    ]
  */
})

Step 2: Create file input (form.html.microdsl)

Register <%= TABLENAME %>

<form action="/<%= TABLENAME %>" method="post">
  <% for(var i=0; i< COLUMNS.length; i++) { %>
    <input type="text" name="<%= COLUMNS[i].name %>">
  <% } %>

  <input type="button" value="Send">
</form>

Step 3: Start compilation

node test.js

Example output for a database table:

Register convocatoria
<form action="/convocatoria" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="id">
  <input type="text" name="nombre">
  <input type="text" name="descripcion">
  <input type="text" name="fecha">
  <input type="button" value="Send">
</form>

API

MicroDSL has global variables that can be called from the input files

If you want to know more about the compilation syntax, see EJS

<% for(var i=0; i< COLUMNS.length; i++) { %>

    required: <%= is_required(COLUMNS[i]) %>
