README
 Welcome to DenoGres! A new comprehensive ORM for
PostgreSQL and Deno.
## Getting Started
To begin, let's download DenoGres! Execute the below in the terminal - this will
give you access to DenoGres's CLI functionality.
> `deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-env --allow-run --name denogres https://deno.land/x/denogres/mod.ts`
After installation is complete, following the instructions in your terminal to
ensure DenoGres is added to PATH.
## Quick Start
Before using DenoGres in a project, run the command below.
> `denogres --init`
This will create the following in your project's root directory:
- .env file for your database connection URI
- a models folder for your model.ts file
- a Migrations folder for migration logs and model snapshots
After running the init command, update the .env file to contain your database's
connection URI.
> `DATABASE_URI=driver://user:password@host:port/database_name`
With all the set-up steps complete, you're ready to introspect your database!
Database introspection will automatically create TypeScript models of your
database tables in the .models/model.ts file.
> `denogres --db-pull`
## Synchronizing your Database
Denogres features bi-directional synchronization that is designed to ensure that
your database schema and your project Models in full alignment, maintaining a
single, consistent source of truth.
To introspect and generate the associated models within the model.ts file,
execute the the following CLI command:
> `denogres --db-pull`
In addition to --db-pull, Denogres also includes --db-sync functionality that
will revise the PostgreSQL schema to reflect changes within the DenoGres
model.ts file.
Once completed changes to your model have been made, execute the following CLI
command:
> `denogres --db-sync`
## Seeding Your Database
DenoGres allows data to be populated to the PostgreSQL schema through data
seeding. This is primarily useful during database design/development (i.e. an
application requires a certain amount of data to function properly) Create a
seed.ts within the project root directory, and execute the following CLI
command:
> `denogres --db-seed`
The associated database schema will be pre-populated based on the user's seed.ts
file.
## Navigating the GUI
DenoGres includes a GUI that allows the user to test and run queries utilizing
generated Models and associated methods. Furthermore, users can save database
connections and previous queries to their accounts for later access.
Launch the DenoGres GUI by running the following CLI command:
> `denogres --gui`
## Migration Logs and Restore
Any time a user opts to make a request for --db-pull or --db-sync, Denogres
maintains a record of that request so that users can refer back to those
historical records. Additionally, users can opt to restore the Model/database
schema to prior iterations, in instances where users would like to roll
back/forward changes that have been made.
To see a historical list of migration logs, execute the following CLI command:
> `denogres --log`
To restore Models to a prior version, execute the following CLI command:
> `denogres --restore [PREVIOUS_MODEL_FOLDER]`
## Testing
For develpers interested in contributing, to run all tests, use the command:
> `deno task test`
Note: integration tests will require environment variable `ENVIRONMENT`
set to `test` as well as a `TEST_DB_URI`.
## Under Development
DenoGres is continually evolving. Features currently in development include:
- Database sync method (`denogres --db-sync`) will account for multiple
associations and composite unique keys.
- "Compare" command (`denogres --compare`) will be implemented to display
side-by-side diff between previous models.
- A setter method will be appended to a model when an association is established
with another model.
- The manyToMany function will create a new join table.
- Migrations log will be visible within the GUI, so that users can
track/view/compare model versions.
- Two-way ERD that allows users to change relational data that is then reflected
onto their actual database
- Additional support for MySQL, SQL Server, etc.
- A Diagram page will offer a live ERD to visualize the user's database (see
preview below)
