Show HN: Quick-erd a text based erd editor with migration code generation
You can express the table schema in git-friendly text-only format.
It can auto generate ERD diagram from the text in a webpage. You can drag to move the table diagrams, and the position are sync in the text format.
It can also auto generate incremental migration between the live database schema and designed erd in knex.js / raw sql format.
Recently you can also customize the coloring and have it shared with your teammate within the text format.
- jerryu 4y agoCool! Very different from traditional ERD tools. Still missing a lot of features and not as snappy/clean when moving tables around I can see lot of lag. Have you tried erdlab.org? It's free and has some key features missing in your tool. For example, import/export SQL and advanced visual features. Quick one min video of ERDLab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VaBRPAtX08&t=3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VaBRPAtX08&t=3s or you can login as guest at erdlab.org and try it yourself.
- aabbcc1241 4y agoThanks for the appreciation. You can reverse-engineer erd file from a live database (mysql/pg/sqlite). More usage guides in the readme page: https://github.com/beenotung/quick-erd https://github.com/beenotung/quick-erd For sharing / collaboration, I prefer to put the erd text file into the git repository instead of relaying on a cloud provider.
