Drizzle Kit

Drizzle Kit is a CLI migrator tool for Drizzle ORM. It is probably the one and only tool that lets you completely automatically generate SQL migrations and covers ~95% of the common cases like deletions and renames by prompting user input. https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-kit-mirror - is a mirror repository for issues.

How it works

Drizzle Kit traverses a schema module and generates a snapshot to compare with the previous version, if there is one. Based on the difference, it will generate all needed SQL migrations. If there are any cases that can't be resolved automatically, such as renames, it will prompt the user for input.

For example, for this schema module:

1// src/db/schema.ts
2
3import { integer, pgTable, serial, text, varchar } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";
4
5const users = pgTable("users", {
6    id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
7    fullName: varchar("full_name", { length: 256 }),
8  }, (table) => ({
9    nameIdx: index("name_idx", table.fullName),
10  })
11);
12
13export const authOtp = pgTable("auth_otp", {
14  id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
15  phone: varchar("phone", { length: 256 }),
16  userId: integer("user_id").references(() => users.id),
17});

It will generate:

1CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS auth_otp (
2 "id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
3 "phone" character varying(256),
4 "user_id" INT
5);
6
7CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
8 "id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
9 "full_name" character varying(256)
10);
11
12DO $$ BEGIN
13 ALTER TABLE auth_otp ADD CONSTRAINT auth_otp_user_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY ("user_id") REFERENCES users(id);
14EXCEPTION
15 WHEN duplicate_object THEN null;
16END $$;
17
18CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS users_full_name_index ON users (full_name);
