Package Exports

@directus/schema

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@directus/schema) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

@directus/schema

Utility for extracting information about the database schema

Usage

The package is initialized by passing it an instance of Knex:

import knex from 'knex';
import schema from '@directus/schema';

const database = knex({
    client: 'mysql',
    connection: {
        host: '127.0.0.1',
        user: 'your_database_user',
        password: 'your_database_password',
        database: 'myapp_test',
        charset: 'utf8',
    },
});

const inspector = schema(database);

export default inspector;

Examples

import inspector from './inspector';

async function logTables() {
    const tables = await inspector.tables();
    console.log(tables);
}

API

Note: MySQL doesn't support the schema parameter, as schema and database are ambiguous in MySQL.

Note 2: Some database types might return slightly more information than others. See the type files for a specific overview what to expect from driver to driver.

Note 3: MSSQL doesn't support comment for either tables or columns

Tables

`tables(): Promise<string[]>`

Retrieve all tables in the current database.

await inspector.tables();
// => ['articles', 'images', 'reviews']

`tableInfo(table?: string): Promise<Table | Table[]>`

Retrieve the table info for the given table, or all tables if no table is specified

await inspector.tableInfo('articles');
// => {
//   name: 'articles',
//   schema: 'project',
//   comment: 'Informational blog posts'
// }

await inspector.tableInfo();
// => [
//   {
//     name: 'articles',
//     schema: 'project',
//     comment: 'Informational blog posts'
//   },
//   { ... },
//   { ... }
// ]

`hasTable(table: string): Promise<boolean>`

Check if a table exists in the current database.

await inspector.hasTable('articles');
// => true

Columns

`columns(table?: string): Promise<{ table: string, column: string }[]>`

Retrieve all columns in a given table, or all columns if no table is specified

await inspector.columns();
// => [
//   {
//     "table": "articles",
//     "column": "id"
//   },
//   {
//     "table": "articles",
//     "column": "title"
//   },
//   {
//     "table": "images",
//     "column": "id"
//   }
// ]

await inspector.columns('articles');
// => [
//   {
//     "table": "articles",
//     "column": "id"
//   },
//   {
//     "table": "articles",
//     "column": "title"
//   }
// ]

`columnInfo(table?: string, column?: string): Promise<Column[] | Column>`

Retrieve all columns from a given table. Returns all columns if table parameter is undefined.

await inspector.columnInfo('articles');
// => [
//   {
//     name: "id",
//     table: "articles",
//     type: "VARCHAR",
//     defaultValue: null,
//     maxLength: null,
//     isNullable: false,
//     isPrimaryKey: true,
//     hasAutoIncrement: true,
//     foreignKeyColumn: null,
//     foreignKeyTable: null,
//     comment: "Primary key for the articles collection"
//   },
//   { ... },
//   { ... }
// ]

await inspector.columnInfo('articles', 'id');
// => {
//   name: "id",
//   table: "articles",
//   type: "VARCHAR",
//   defaultValue: null,
//   maxLength: null,
//   isNullable: false,
//   isPrimaryKey: true,
//   hasAutoIncrement: true,
//   foreignKeyColumn: null,
//   foreignKeyTable: null,
//   comment: "Primary key for the articles collection"
// }

`primary(table: string): Promise<string>`

Retrieve the primary key column for a given table

await inspector.primary('articles');
// => "id"

Misc.

`withSchema(schema: string): void`

Not supported in MySQL

Set the schema to use. Note: this is set on the inspector instance and only has to be done once:

inspector.withSchema('my-schema');
