pg-diff-sync

Tymly Package npm (scoped) [CircleCI codecov CodeFactor Dependabot badge Commitizen friendly JavaScript Style Guide license

Takes two objects that describe the structure of a database and produces the PostgreSQL statements required to get from one to the other.

Install

$ npm install pg-diff-sync --save

Usage

  const pgDiffSync = require('pg-diff-sync')
  const currentDbStructure = {...} 
  const expectedDbStructure = {...} 

  const statements = pgDiffSync(
    currentDbStructure,
    expectedDbStructure
  )  
  // Returns an array of DDL statements to apply on the PostgreSQL database

API

pgDiffSync(baseDbStructure, targetDbStructure)

Arguments:

Arg Type Notes
baseDbStructure object An object representing the original starting position of a database - most likely the output conjured from the pg-info package
targetDbStructure object And an object representing how the database needs to be - in the same form as baseDbStructure (again see the pg-info package for more details)

Output

The output from pg-diff-sync is a simple array of strings.

  • Each string is a separate DDL statement, that should be run on the PostgreSQL database that produced the baseDbStructure object.
  • With some caveats, running these statements on the base database will turn it into the target database

Example output

[
  "CREATE SCHEMA pg_diff_sync_test;",
  "COMMENT ON SCHEMA pg_diff_sync_test IS 'Schema auto-generated by Relationize.js!';",
  "CREATE TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people();",
  "COMMENT ON TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people IS 'Just a simple list of people!';",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN employee_no text NOT NULL;",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN first_name text NOT NULL;",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN last_name text NOT NULL;",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN age integer;",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN _created timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now();",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN _created_by text;",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN _modified timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now();",
  "ALTER TABLE pg_diff_sync_test.people ADD COLUMN _modified_by text;",
  "COMMENT ON COLUMN pg_diff_sync_test.people.first_name IS 'Person''s first name';",
