# ArgumentMode

Ƭ ArgumentMode: in | inout | out | variadic | table

Modes of the PostgreSQL function arguments.

# CollisionsByTable

Ƭ CollisionsByTable: object

Type to store relation name collisions by tables.

# Example

{
  'public.contact': {
    m2o: [],
    o2m: [
      {
        carts: [
          '[public.contact]――― cart_contact ――⥷ [public.cart]',
          '[public.contact]――― other_cart_contact ――⥷ [other_schema.cart]'
        ]
      }
    ],
    m2m: []
   }
}

# ParallelSafety

Ƭ ParallelSafety: safe | unsafe | restricted

Parallel safety of the PostgreSQL function.

Defined in: types/index.ts:108


# RelationNameCollision

Ƭ RelationNameCollision: object

Type to store a relation name collision. Keys are relation names and values are information about relations with that name.

# Type declaration:

Defined in: types/index.ts:79


# RelationNameFunctions

Ƭ RelationNameFunctions: object

Type for functions to generate names for relations. All necessary information such as table names, columns, foreign key, comment data can be accessed via passed relation parameter.

# Example

const config = {
  relationNameFunctions: {
    o2m: (relation) => some_function(relation.targetTable.name),
    m2o: (relation) => some_function(relation.targetTable.name),
    m2m: (relation) => some_function(relation.targetTable.name),
  },
}

# Type declaration:

Name Type
m2m (relation: M2MRelation) => string
m2o (relation: M2ORelation) => string
o2m (relation: O2MRelation) => string

Defined in: types/index.ts:123


# TriggerEvent

Ƭ TriggerEvent: insert | delete | update | truncate

Event that fires the trigger

Defined in: types/index.ts:120


# TriggerOrientation

Ƭ TriggerOrientation: row | statement

whether the trigger fires once for each processed row or once for each statement.

Defined in: types/index.ts:114


# TriggerTiming

Ƭ TriggerTiming: before | after | insteadOf

Time at which the trigger fires

Defined in: types/index.ts:117


# TypeCategory

Ƭ TypeCategory: A | B | C | D | E | G | I | N | P | R | S | T | U | V | X

PostgreSQL system-defined values of typcategory. See pg_type (opens new window) in PostgreSQL docs.

# Functions

# default

default(client?: Client | ClientConfig | string, options?: Options): Promise<Db>

Reverse engineers a PostgreSQL database and creates Db instance which represents given database's structure. There are several options such as to include or exclude schemas, provide custom names to relations. Please refer to Options for detailed explanations.

IMPORTANT: Please note that if included schemas contain references to a non-included schema, this function throws exception. (e.g. a foreign key to another schema or a type in another schema which is not included)

# Example

const db = await pgStructure({ database: "db", user: "u", password: "pass" }, { includeSchemas: ["public"] });

# Parameters:

Name Type Description
client? Client | ClientConfig | string is either a node-postgres client (opens new window) or a configuration object or a connection string to create a node-postgres client (opens new window).
options? Options are preferences to modify reverse engineering process.

Returns: Promise<Db>

Db object which represents given database's structure.

Defined in: main.ts:415

default(options?: Options): Promise<Db>

Reads configuration details from environment variables to create node-postgres client (opens new window). Keys are upper case environment variables prefixed with options.envPrefix (default is DB).

Environment Varibale ClientConfig (opens new window) Key
DB_DATABASE database
DB_USER user
DB_PASSWORD password
... ...

# Example 1

const db = await pgStructure({ includeSchemas: ["public"] });

# Example 2

const db = await pgStructure(); // Read connection details from environmet variables.

# Parameters:

Name Type Description
options? Options are preferences to modify reverse engineering process.

Returns: Promise<Db>

Db object which represents given database's structure.

Defined in: main.ts:436


# deserialize

deserialize(serializedData: string): Db

Deserializes given data to create Db object. Please note that custom relation name functions are not serialized. To serialize, provide functions as a module and use them with { relationNameFunctions: "my-module" }.

# Example

import pgStructure, { deserialize } from "pg-structure";
const db = await pgStructure({ database: "db", user: "u", password: "pass" });
const serialized = db.serialize();
const otherDb = deserialize(serialized);

# Parameters:

Name Type Description
serializedData string is serialized data of the Db object.

Returns: Db

Db object for given serialized data.
