Scheman is a tool to visualize definition of tables in RDB.

Main purpose of this is accelerating working collaboration between engineers and non-engineers.

You can generate drawing of tables schema and ERD with one command and just a few settings by using this.

You can choose output destination from Notion, File or both of them.

Usage

I will show you usage.

Installation

install

go install github.com/maru44/scheman@v1.3.0

If you want not to install you can use by

go run github.com/maru44/scheman@v1.3.0 ...

I will proceed on the premise of scheman installed.

Setup config

Create scheman.toml(.yaml) and write database settings.

[psql]
  dbname  = "scheman"
  host    = "localhost"
  port    = 5432
  user    = "root"
  pass    = "password"
  sslmode = "disable"
  schema  = "public"

Command

I will show some examples.

Notion

First I will show you the command to write tables schema and ERD in notion.

go install github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler/v4/drivers/sqlboiler-psql@v4.8.6 \
  && scheman psql --services notion --erd-outputs notion \
    --notion-token ${NOTION_TOKEN} --notion-page-id ${PSQL_NOTION_PAGE_ID}

Flag services indicates the output destinations of schema-definition.
Flag erd-outputs indicates the output destinations of ERD.

The value of table-index is output like the following picture if the command succeeded.
If you want to overwrite schema definition and ERD in notion from next time, please set notion-page-index the value outputted in command line.

result outputted in command line

The Free Entry attribute is the attribute you can write freely. This value is inherited even if you execute scheman command next time.

The outputs will be like these pictures.
I'm sorry for these pictures are very rough.

File 

go install github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler/v4/drivers/sqlboiler-psql@v4.8.6 \
  && scheman psql --def-file ./def.csv --erd-file ./erd.md

Flag def-file indicates the output destination file of schema-definition.
Flag erd-file indicates the output destination file of ERD.

The outputs will be like these.
