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.
DrawDB Writer
Generates DrawDB-compatible JSON files from database schema information.
Overview
The DrawDB Writer converts RelSpec's internal database model representation into JSON format compatible with DrawDB, a free online database design tool.
Features
- Generates DrawDB JSON format
- Creates table and field definitions
- Defines relationships
- Includes visual layout information
- Preserves constraints and indexes
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/drawdb"
)
func main() {
options := &writers.WriterOptions{
OutputPath: "diagram.json",
}
writer := drawdb.NewWriter(options)
err := writer.WriteDatabase(db)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
CLI Examples
# Generate DrawDB diagram from PostgreSQL database
relspec --input pgsql \
--conn "postgres://localhost/mydb" \
--output drawdb \
--out-file diagram.json
# Convert GORM models to DrawDB for visualization
relspec --input gorm --in-file models.go --output drawdb --out-file design.json
# Convert JSON schema to DrawDB
relspec --input json --in-file schema.json --output drawdb --out-file diagram.json
