warkanum 3b88c386a1 fix(codegen): sort map iteration to make generated output deterministic
Table.Columns/Constraints/Indexes/Relationships are Go maps, and every
writer, reader, diff, inspector, and merge code path that iterated them
directly was subject to Go's randomized map order, so identical input
could produce different output (or a different in-report violation/diff
order) on every run. Most visibly this showed up as bun/gorm `unique:`
struct tags changing order across consecutive `make models` runs with no
source change.

Fixed by sorting map iteration (by Sequence then Name, or alphabetically
for string-keyed maps) everywhere the order affects generated output or
first-match tie-break logic, across the bun, gorm, sqlite, dbml, drawdb,
pgsql, prisma, graphql, typeorm, drizzle, and dctx writers; the dctx,
prisma, and typeorm readers; the shared models.GetPrimaryKey/
GetForeignKeys helpers; pkg/diff, pkg/inspector, and pkg/merge; and the
TUI column/relationship pickers in pkg/ui.

DBML Writer

Generates Database Markup Language (DBML) files from database schema information.

Overview

The DBML Writer converts RelSpec's internal database model representation into DBML syntax, suitable for use with dbdiagram.io and other DBML-compatible tools.

Features

  • Generates DBML syntax
  • Creates table definitions with columns
  • Defines relationships
  • Includes indexes
  • Adds notes and documentation
  • Supports enums

Usage

Basic Example

package main

import (
    "git.warky.dev/wdevs/relspecgo/pkg/models"
    "git.warky.dev/wdevs/relspecgo/pkg/writers"
    "git.warky.dev/wdevs/relspecgo/pkg/writers/dbml"
)

func main() {
    options := &writers.WriterOptions{
        OutputPath: "schema.dbml",
    }

    writer := dbml.NewWriter(options)
    err := writer.WriteDatabase(db)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

CLI Examples

# Generate DBML from PostgreSQL database
relspec --input pgsql \
  --conn "postgres://localhost/mydb" \
  --output dbml \
  --out-file schema.dbml

# Convert GORM models to DBML
relspec --input gorm --in-file models.go --output dbml --out-file database.dbml

# Convert JSON to DBML for visualization
relspec --input json --in-file schema.json --output dbml --out-file diagram.dbml

Generated DBML Example

Project MyDatabase {
  database_type: 'PostgreSQL'
}

Table users {
  id bigserial [pk, increment]
  username varchar(50) [not null, unique]
  email varchar(100) [not null]
  bio text [null]
  created_at timestamp [not null, default: `now()`]

  Note: 'Users table'

  indexes {
    email [name: 'idx_users_email']
  }
}

Table posts {
  id bigserial [pk, increment]
  user_id bigint [not null]
  title varchar(200) [not null]
  content text [null]
  created_at timestamp [default: `now()`]

  indexes {
    user_id [name: 'idx_posts_user_id']
    (user_id, created_at) [name: 'idx_posts_user_created']
  }
}

Ref: posts.user_id > users.id [delete: cascade, update: no action]

DBML Features

Table Definitions

Table table_name {
  column_name type [attributes]
}

Column Attributes

  • pk - Primary key
  • increment - Auto-increment
  • not null - NOT NULL constraint
  • null - Nullable (explicit)
  • unique - Unique constraint
  • default: value - Default value
  • note: 'text' - Column note

Relationships

Ref: table1.column > table2.column
Ref: table1.column < table2.column
Ref: table1.column - table2.column

Relationship types:

  • > - Many-to-one
  • < - One-to-many
  • - - One-to-one

Relationship actions:

Ref: posts.user_id > users.id [delete: cascade, update: restrict]

Indexes

indexes {
  column_name
  (column1, column2) [name: 'idx_name', unique]
}

Type Mapping

SQL Type DBML Type
bigint bigint
integer int
varchar(n) varchar(n)
text text
boolean boolean
timestamp timestamp
date date
json json
uuid uuid

Notes

  • DBML is designed for database visualization
  • Can be imported into dbdiagram.io
  • Human-readable format
  • Schema names can be included in table names
  • Comments and notes are preserved
  • Ideal for documentation and sharing designs
