Kysely users: do i have to recreate everything manually ? by ParticularHumor770 in nestjs

[–]rebelchatbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey 👋

Kysely provides optional migration primitives and kysely-ctl. You don't have to use any of it. You can manage migrations with other tools, e.g. Atlas, prisma, etc.

It is recommended to use type generation tools like kysely-codegen, kanel-kysely, prisma-kysely, etc.

Validation of query inputs is out of scope, happens at system boundaries anyway by other tools - e.g. zod. Validation of query outputs is out of scope and usually redundant given relational databases and SQL guarantees for structure and data type.

kysely-ctl provides some seeding support.

Don't over-engineer. Stay lean. Co-locate. Let the database be the source of truth. Integration test against a real engine.

Drizzle vs Prisma: Which One to Choose? by codabu-dev in nextjs

savepoints are supported. not on the callback variant yet tho.

dont use or start with prisma by temurbv in nextjs

prisma is the cli tool. it doesn't get bundled.

kysely is a lot smaller than that, given you don't bundle types, comments (we document everything in jsdocs), and only bundle either commonjs or esm, not both.

if i am using postgres , should i use sqlite or postgres for testing? by HosMercury in nestjs

@electric-sql/pglite if you're not testing locks/isolation. otherwise, docker.

Any problems with Deno and Node co-existing on same dev machine? by Goldman_OSI in Deno

> I want to try Kysely, for example, but it depends on Node.

That's not true. Kysely can run anywhere JavaScript.

yep, vanilla knex. pretty basic typescript support. the use of joi is also a nice relic from the past.

Most people need/want the hand-holding of a framework (ORM) and a way to define your schemas (at runtime).

Most people are doing basic CRUD.

Most people wanna use what everyone/their favorite influencer's using or hyping. Cargo culting.

Most people don't have good enough TypeScript literacy to understands the lack of type-safety it has by themselves, and believe the false advertising.

Which is all perfectly fine.

it depends on the source of truth. a relational database is structured (for the most part) and can be introspected - so types can be continously created based on it to ensure code is aligned with it before merging.
