Why is DbGate different
There are many database managers now, so why DbGate?
- Works everywhere - Windows, Linux, Mac, Web browser (+mobile web is planned), without compromises in features
- Based on standalone NPM packages, scripts can be run without DbGate (example - CSV export )
- Many data browsing functions based using foreign keys - master/detail, expand columns, expandable form view (on screenshot above)
Design goals
- Application simplicity - DbGate takes the best and only the best from old DbGate, DatAdmin and DbMouse .
- Minimal dependencies
- Frontend - Svelte, socket.io
- Backend - NodeJs, ExpressJs, socket.io, database connection drivers
- JavaScript + TypeScript
- App - electron
- There is plan to incorporate SQLite to support work with local datasets
- Platform independed - will run as web application in single docker container on server, or as application using Electron platform on Linux, Windows and Mac
Plugins
Plugins are standard NPM packages published on npmjs.com.
See all existing DbGate plugins.
Visit dbgate generator homepage to see, how to create your own plugin.
Currently following extensions can be implemented using plugins:
- File format parsers/writers
- Database engine connectors
Basic set of plugins is part of DbGate git repository and is installed with app. Additional plugins pust be downloaded from NPM (this task is handled by DbGate)
How to run development environment
yarn
yarn start
If you want to make modifications in libraries or plugins, run library compiler in watch mode in the second terminal:
yarn lib
Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser
You could run electron app (requires running localhost:5000):
cd app
yarn
yarn start
How to run built electron app locally
This mode is very similar to production run of electron app. Electron app forks process with API on dynamically allocated port, works with compiled javascript files and uses compiled version of plugins (doesn't use localhost:5000)
cd app
yarn
yarn
yarn build:app:local
yarn start:app:local
Packages
Some dbgate packages can be used also without DbGate. You can find them on NPM repository
- api - backend, Javascript, ExpressJS
- datalib - TypeScript library for utility classes
- app - application (JavaScript) structure, creating specific queries (JavaScript)
- filterparser - TypeScript library for parsing data filter expressions using parsimmon
- sqltree - JSON representation of SQL query, functions converting to SQL (TypeScript)
- types - common TypeScript definitions
- web - frontend in Svelte (JavaScript)
- tools - various tools
