atlas-provider-typeorm

Load TypeORM entities into an Atlas project.

Use-cases

1. Declarative migrations - use a Terraform-like atlas schema apply --env typeorm to apply your TypeORM entities to the database.
2. Automatic migration planning - use atlas migrate diff --env typeorm to automatically plan a migration from the current database version to the TypeORM schema.

Installation

Install Atlas from macOS or Linux by running:

curl -sSf https://atlasgo.sh | sh

See atlasgo.io for more installation options.

Install the provider by running:

npm i @ariga/atlas-provider-typeorm

Make sure all your Node dependencies are installed by running:

npm i

Standalone

If all of your TypeORM entities exist in a single Node module, you can use the provider directly to load your TypeORM schema into Atlas.

In your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "typeorm" {
  program = [
    "npx",
    "@ariga/atlas-provider-typeorm",
    "load",
    "--path", "./path/to/entities",
    "--dialect", "mysql", // mariadb | postgres | sqlite | mssql
  ]
}

env "typeorm" {
  src = data.external_schema.typeorm.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

As a library

In TS Script

If you want to use the provider as TS program, you can use the provider as follows:

Create a new file named load.ts with the following contents:

#!/usr/bin/env ts-node-script

import { loadEntities } from "@ariga/atlas-provider-typeorm/build/load";

// import typeorm entities you want to load
import { User } from "./entities/User";
import { Blog } from "./entities/Blog";

loadEntities("mysql", [User, Blog]).then((sql) => {
  console.log(sql);
});

In JS Script

If you want to use the provider as JS program, you can use the provider as follows:

Create a new file named load.js with the following contents:

#!/usr/bin/env node

const loadEntities = require("@ariga/atlas-provider-typeorm/build/load").loadEntities;
const EntitySchema = require("typeorm").EntitySchema;

// require typeorm entities you want to load
const post = new EntitySchema(require("./entities/Post"));
const category = new EntitySchema(require("./entities/Category"));

loadEntities("mysql", [post, category]).then((sql) => {
  console.log(sql);
});

Next, in your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "typeorm" {
    program = [
        "ts-node",
        "load.ts", // for javascript: "node", "load.js"
    ]
}

env "typeorm" {
    src = data.external_schema.typeorm.url
    dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
    migration {
        dir = "file://migrations"
    }
    format {
        migrate {
            diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
        }
    }
}

Usage

Once you have the provider installed, you can use it to apply your TypeORM schema to the database:

Apply

You can use the atlas schema apply command to plan and apply a migration of your current TypeORM schema to your database. This works by inspecting the target database and comparing it to the TypeORM schema and creating a migration plan. Atlas will prompt you to confirm the migration plan before applying it to the database.

atlas schema apply --env typeorm -u "mysql://root:password@localhost:3306/mydb"

Where the -u flag accepts the URL to the target database.

Diff

Atlas supports a version migration workflow, where each change to the database is versioned and recorded in a migration file. You can use the atlas migrate diff command to automatically generate a migration file that will migrate the database from its latest revision to the current TypeORM schema.

atlas migrate diff --env typeorm 

Supported Databases

The provider supports the following databases:

• MySQL
• MariaDB
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite
• Microsoft SQL Server
