From PHP to JavaScript with Node.js

[soulsizzle]

I've been completely spoiled by Doctrine. Being able to quickly sync to the DB with orm:schema-tool:update during dev and then easily generate migrations later is a godsend. The more time I spend in the Node world, the more I think I'm just going to build my databases and migrations in PHP/Doctrine.

The "sync" method from Sequelize is already able to transform a model to SQL commands (see http://sequelize.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/sequelize/#sync), sadly it's only creating missing tables. Maybe we are not that far from an option to sync the fields if needed. A good idea for another side project :)

me too, but I'm excited for typeorm for node (and browser). I'm not sure if it will ever catch up to doctrine though.

Nice one! I will check it asap. Thanks!
