launchql

Create high-performance APIs with GraphQL and Postgres

introduction

Create PostgreSQL sql code quickly and in a streamlined, versioned workflow.

launchql is a wrapper around sqitch to enable a sane workflow for sane database management.

write and deploy extensions that can be installed with CREATE EXTENSION
optionally deploy same source as sqitch modules (since some managed db providers don't allow custom extensions)
write/deploy a project full of many sqitch modules that cross-reference each other using dependency resolution for running deploy command in proper order, etc
pulling modules down (currently via npm) to make re-usability super easy

installation

Install `psql`

Install psql without actually running the database. On mac you can use

brew install libpq

Or you can install the full-blown postgres locally, but it is recommended that you shut the service down. You'll be using psql to connect to the postgres that runs inside of a docker container.

Install sqitch

https://sqitch.org/

mac users can use brew

brew install sqitch --with-postgres-support --without-postgresql

or for brew sqitch docs: https://github.com/sqitchers/homebrew-sqitch

Install the Template library from http://www.tt2.org/

sudo cpan Template

Install `launchql` globally

npm install -g @launchql/cli

Get the verification utils

https://github.com/pyramation/pg-utils

getting started

Initialize a project

lql init --bare
lql install

Now you should have a packages/ folder

cd packages/
mkdir myfirstmodule
cd myfirstmodule/
lql init

Now you can create some sql using sqitch!

lql generate schema
lql generate table

Deploy recursively, using all the required modules!

lql deploy --createdb --recursive

testing

To create a test, first cd into a sqitch module

cd packages/myfirstmodule
lql maketest

Then you can use jest via yarn to test your logic.

yarn test:watch

what's different

interactive shell
naming conventions
utility functions to create verify/revert functions for most types
bundled with templates for most common things:

column
extension
fixture
foreignKey
fullPolicy
grantAllTables
grantExecute
grantRole
grantSchema
grantTable
index
policy
procedure
role
rowLevelSecurity
schema
table
timestamps
trigger
type
uniqueIndex
utility
view

bundle an npm module

You can install an npm module and then bundle it for plv8

yarn add my-awesome-npm-module
lql bundle my-awesome-npm-module awesomeThing

Install some existing packages

lql install skitch-extension-verify
lql install skitch-extension-jobs
