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 🙏

Readme

sequelize-sync-diff

Uses Sequelize.sync() but generates ALTER statements instead of DROP+CREATE.

Only works for postgres right now. Please open an issue if you need support for other databases.

How it works

sequelize-sync-diff syncs your schema with your database using sequelize.sync({ force: false }) and you need to provide a dummy database where it will recreate the same schema you have and will call .sync() but this time with { force: true }. So at this point you have your working database not fully up to date since sync() has its limitations but you have a dummy empty database but with the full schema your data models need. Then, internally, https://github.com/gimenete/dbdiff is used to compare both databases and you get the SQL required to execute in your working database to be up to date with your data model changes.

Installing

npm install sequelize-sync-diff

Usage

// Before defining anything in your data model you need this code:
var Sequelize = require('sequelize')
require('sequelize-sync-diff')(Sequelize)
// At this point Sequelize has the new syncDiff() method injected
// and some code has been injected for introspecting the data model


// Use Sequelize as you always do
var sequelize = new Sequelize('postgres://user:pass@localhost/database', {})

var User = sequelize.define('User', {/* ... */})
var Project = sequelize.define('Project', {/* ... */})
Project.hasOne(User)

// Now is time to use .syncDiff()
sequelize.sync()
  .then(() => sequelize.syncDiff('postgres://aro:aro@localhost/database_dummy'))
  .then(function(sql) {
    // Here we have the ALTER statemetns
    console.log(sql)
  })

Caveats

The SQL statements are returned to you and they are not executed for a good reason: there are scenarios on which this will cause data loss (e.g. dropping a column). Also some statements could fail depending on the data you have in your working database (e.g. changing the data type of a column or setting it to NOT NULL). For more information please check dbdiff caveats.
