Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Myt - MySQL version control

Utilities to ease the maintenance of MySQL or MariaDB database versioning using a Git repository.

This project is just to bring an idea to life and is still in an early stage of development, so any help is welcomed! Feel free to contribute.

Requirements

  • Git
  • Docker (Optional, used to manage local server)

Installation

Required libraries to build with node-gyp.

# apt install libkrb5-dev libssl-dev

It's recommended to install the package globally.

# npm install -g @verdnatura/myt
$ myt <command>

You can also install locally and use the npx command to execute it.

$ npm install @verdnatura/myt
$ npx myt <command>

How to use

Execute myt with the desired command.

$ [npx] myt [-w|--workspace <string>] [-r|--remote <string>] [-d|--debug]
[-h|--help] <command> [<args>]

The default workspace directory is the current working directory and unless otherwise indicated, the default remote is local.

Database versioning commands:

  • init: Initialize an empty workspace.
  • pull: Incorporate database routine changes into workspace.
  • push: Apply changes into database.
  • version: Creates a new version.
  • create: Creates a new routine file.
  • clean: Cleans old versions.

Local server management commands:

  • dump: Export database structure and fixtures.
  • fixtures: Export local database fixtures.
  • run: Build and start local database server container.
  • start: Start local database server container.

Each command can have its own specific commandline options.

Basic information

First of all you have to initialize the workspace.

$ myt init

Now you can configure Myt using myt.config.yml file, located at the root of your workspace. This file should include the project codename and schemas/tables which are exported when you use pull or dump commands.

Don't forget to initialize git (if it isn't initialized yet).

$ git init

Remotes

Create database connection configuration for each environment at remotes folder using standard MySQL ini configuration files. The convention remote names are local, production and test.

remotes/[remote].ini

Startup

Once the basic configuration is done, routines can be imported from the database into the project, it is recommended to use the production remote.

$ myt pull production

From now on, you can use the project as if it were a standard git repository (since it is). To apply changes to the database run the push command on the desired remote.

$ myt push [<remote>] [--commit]

Routines

Routines are placed inside routines folder. All objects that have PL/SQL code are considered routines. It includes events, functions, procedures, triggers and views with the following structure.

  routines
  `- schema
     |- events
     |  `- eventName.sql
     |- functions
     |  `- functionName.sql
     |- procedures
     |  `- procedureName.sql
     |- triggers
     |  `- triggerName.sql
     `- views
        `- viewName.sql

Versions

Versions are placed inside versions folder with the following structure. Don't place your PL/SQL objects here, use the routines folder!

  versions
  |- 00001-firstVersionCodeName
  |  |- 00-firstExecutedScript.sql
  |  |- 01-secondScript.sql
  |  `- 99-lastScript.sql
  `- 00002-secondVersion
     |- 00-firstExecutedScript.sql
     `- 00-sameNumbers.sql

Environment-Specific Versioning with Realms

Overview

We have introduced a new feature that allows users to apply version-specific changes based on their configured environment, or "realm". This ensures that certain changes are only applied when the user is operating within a specific realm, providing an additional layer of customization and control.

Configuration

To make use of this feature, you need to configure your realm in the versionConfig table. Set your realm by inserting or updating a record in this table. The realm field should contain the identifier of your environment.

File Naming Convention

To designate a file as realm-specific, include a .your_realm. segment before the file extension. For example, if your realm is set to 'ab', the file should be named like this: filename.ab.sql.

How It Works

  1. Set your Realm: Configure your realm in the versionConfig table.

  2. Add Files: Place your realm-specific files in the versions folder. Make sure to follow the naming convention.

  3. Version Order: Files are applied in the existing version order. In addition to that, the realm is validated.

  4. Apply Changes: Run the usual versioning commands. The realm-specific files will only be applied if your configured realm matches the realm in the file name.

Important Notes

  • If no realm is configured, realm-specific files will be ignored.

  • If you have a realm configured but the realm-specific files belong to a different realm, those files will also be ignored.

This feature allows for greater flexibility when working in different environments, making it easier to manage realm-specific changes in a shared repository.

Local server

The local server is created as a MariaDB Docker container using the base dump created with the dump command plus pushing local versions and changed routines.

Dumps

You can create your local fixture and structure files.

  • dump/dump.before.sql
  • dump/dump.after.sql
  • dump/fixtures.before.sql
  • dump/fixtures.after.sql
  • dump/fixtures.local.sql

Versioning commands

init

Initializes an empty workspace.

$ myt init

pull

Incorporates database routine changes into workspace.

$ myt pull [remote] [-f|--force] [-c|--checkout] [-u|--update] [-s|--sums]

When --checkout option is provided, it does the following before export:

  1. Get the last database push commit (saved in versioning tables).
  2. Creates and checkout to a new branch based in database commit.

push

Applies versions and routine changes into database.

$ myt push [<remote>] [-f|--force] [-c|--commit] [-s|--sums] [-t|--triggers]

Commit is saved into database only if --commit option is provided, it prevents from accidentally saving local commits into shared servers, causing subsequent pushes from other clients to fail because they can't get that commit from the git tree in order to get differences.

version

Creates a new version folder, when name is not specified it generates a random name mixing a color with a plant name.

$ myt version [<name>]

create

Creates a new routine file with a default template.

$ myt create [-t <type>] <schema>.<name>

clean

Cleans all already applied versions older than maxOldVersions.

$ myt clean [-p|--purge]

Local server commands

dump

Exports database structure and fixtures from remote into hidden files located in dump folder. If no remote is specified production is used.

$ myt dump [<remote>] [-l|--lock] [-t|--triggers]

fixtures

Exports local database fixtures into dump/fixtures.sql files. If no remote is specified local is used.

$ myt fixtures [<remote>]

run

Builds and starts local database server container. It only rebuilds the image when dump have been modified.

$ myt run [-c|--ci] [-r|--random] [-t|--tmpfs] [-n|--network <string>]

start

Starts local database server container. It does the minium effort, if it doesn't exists calls the run command, if it is started does nothing. Keep in mind that when you do not rebuild the docker you may be using an outdated version of it.

$ myt start

Why

The main reason for starting this project is because there are no fully free and open source migration tools available that allow versioning database routines with a standard CVS system as if they were normal application code.

Also, the existing tools are too complex and require too much knowledge to initiate a small project.

To-Do

  • Undo changes when there is an error applying a version using "undo" files.
  • Console logging via events.
  • Lock version table row when pushing.
  • Preserve all characteristics on pull: SQL mode, character set, algorithm...
