Node PostgreSQL Example with JavaScript Migrations

Sample project for sync-db using PostgreSQL and migrations written in JavaScript.

Overview

This sync-db example does a few things in order:

• Prunes database objects inside of src/sql from the specified database connection(s) if it exists.
• Executes knex database migrations inside of src/migrations directory written in JavaScript.
• Creates database objects inside of src/sql directory using sync-db. These database objects are created in the order specified in sync-db.yml.
• Executes a node script to check if the synchronized objects can be executed and prints the result.

Setup

Setup will require docker and docker-compose.

Configure database connection(s) in connections.sync-db.json by copying connections.sync-db.json.example. For ease of use, the example app will work without making any changes to connections.sync-db.json. Throwaway database credentials have been set in docker-compose.yml.

$ cp connections.sync-db.json.example connections.sync-db.json

Run

Run the docker-compose services in order.

$ docker-compose up -d db
$ docker-compose up app
