What is MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter?

MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter is a library to transform the MySQL Workbench model (*.mwb) to useful another schemas.

It is inspired by mysql-workbench-doctrine-plugin.

Currently, MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter can export the model to various schemas using a formatter plugin:

• Doctrine 1.0 YAML Schema.
• Doctrine 2.0 YAML Schema, Annotation Classes, PHP 8 Attribute Classes or Annotation Classes with Zend Framework 2 Input Filter support.
• Zend DbTable.
• Zend Rest Controller.
• Sencha ExtJS3 Model.
• Sencha ExtJS4 Model.
• Propel XML Schema and YAML Schema.
• Node Sequelize.

The actual conversion to another schema is done using an exporter. These plugins are available in subprojects:

• Doctrine1 Exporter
• Doctrine2 Exporter
• Propel1 Exporter
• Zend Framework 1 Exporter
• Node Exporter

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.4+ (PHP 8.0+ required for Attribute support)
• Composer to install the dependencies

Installation

Using Composer

1. In your project directory issue:

```
php composer.phar require --dev mysql-workbench-schema-exporter/mysql-workbench-schema-exporter
```

1. You then can invoke the CLI script using vendor/bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export.

2. You can directly require an exporter for your project:

php composer.phar require --dev mysql-workbench-schema-exporter/doctrine2-exporter

1. For PHP 8 Attribute support (Doctrine 2 only), ensure you have doctrine2-exporter installed as mentioned above. The attribute formatter is included in the exporter package.

Stand alone

1. Get the source code using Git or download from Github.
2. Get composer.
3. Install dependencies:

```
php composer.phar install
```

1. You then can invoke the CLI script using bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export.

Configuring MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter

MySQL Workbench Schema Exporter can be configured at runtime using methods:

• Setup options.
• Model comment, either applied to table, column, or foreign key object.

Both methods accept different options, and generally divided as common options and exporter (formatter) specific options.

Common Setup Options

General options applied to all formatter.

• filename

  The output filename format, use the following tag %schema%, %table%, %entity%, and %extension% to allow the filename to be replaced with contextual data.

  Default is %entity%.%extension%.

• indentation

  The indentation size for generated code.

• useTabs

  Use tabs for indentation instead of spaces. Setting this option will ignore the indentation-option.

• eolDelimeter

  EOL type for generated code. Supported EOLs are win and unix.

• addGeneratorInfoAsComment

  Add generator information to the generated code as a comment.

  Default is true.

• skipPluralNameChecking

  Skip checking the plural name of model and leave as is, useful for non English table names.

  Default is false.

• backupExistingFile

  If target already exists create a backup before replacing the content.

  Default is true.

• enhanceManyToManyDetection

  If enabled, many to many relations between tables will be added to generated code.

  Default is true.

• sortTablesAndViews

  If enabled, sorting of tables and views is performed prior to code generation for each table and view. For table, it sorted by table model name and for view sorted by view model name.

  Default is true.

• exportOnlyTableCategorized

  If specified, only export the tables if its category matched.

• logToConsole

  If enabled, output the log to console.

  Default is false.

• logFile

  If specified, output the log to a file. If this option presence, option logToConsole will be ignored instead.

  Default is empty.

Common Model Comment Behavior

• {MwbExporter:external}true{/MwbExporter:external} (applied to Table, View)

  Mark table/view as external to skip table/view code generation. For Doctrine use {d:external}true{/d:external} instead.

• {MwbExporter:category}mycategory{/MwbExporter:category} (applied to Table)

  Table category used to groups the table for sorting. This way, generated table output can be sorted as you need such as in Propel YAML schema (obviously useful for exporter which results in single file output).

Formatter Setup Options

• Doctrine 2 Annotation, YAML and ZF2 Input Filter
• Doctrine 2 PHP 8 Attributes - 新功能: 如何設定和使用 PHP 8 Attribute 格式
• Doctrine 1 YAML
• Propel 1 YAML and XML
• Zend 1 Rest and DbTable
• NodeJS Sequelize
• Sencha ExtJS3 and ExtJS4

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The mysql-workbench-schema-export command helps export a workbench schema model directly from command line. It has feature to customize export configuration before exporting. By default, it will use config file export.json located in the current directory to supply the parameter if it find it. To disable this behaviour, see the option below.

Command usage:

php bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export [options] FILE [DEST]

Where:

• FILE

  The MySQL Workbench model file to export.

• DEST

  The destination directory (optional), if not specified current directory assumed.

Options:

• --export=type

Choose the result of the export, supported type can be obtained using --list-exporter. If this option is omitted and no config file found, the CLI will prompt to choose which exporter to use.

• --config=file

Read export parameters from file (in JSON format).

• --saveconfig

Save export parameters to file export.json, later can be used as value for --config=file.

• --list-exporter

Show all available exporter.

• --no-auto-config

Disable automatic config file lookup.

• --zip

Compress the result.

• --help

Show the usage (or suppress any parameters).

Sample usage:

php bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export --export=doctrine1-yaml example/data/test.mwb ./generated
php bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export --export=doctrine2-attribute example/data/test.mwb ./generated
php bin/mysql-workbench-schema-export --zip example/data/test.mwb

Sample export parameters (JSON) for doctrine2-annotation:

{
    "export": "doctrine2-annotation",
    "zip": false,
    "dir": "temp",
    "params": {
        "backupExistingFile": true,
        "skipPluralNameChecking": false,
        "enhanceManyToManyDetection": true,
        "bundleNamespace": "",
        "entityNamespace": "",
        "repositoryNamespace": "",
        "useAnnotationPrefix": "ORM\\",
        "useAutomaticRepository": true,
        "indentation": 4,
        "filename": "%entity%.%extension%",
        "quoteIdentifier": false
    }
}

Sample export parameters (JSON) for doctrine2-attribute (PHP 8+):

{
    "export": "doctrine2-attribute",
    "zip": false,
    "dir": "temp",
    "params": {
        "backupExistingFile": true,
        "skipPluralNameChecking": false,
        "enhanceManyToManyDetection": true,
        "bundleNamespace": "",
        "entityNamespace": "",
        "repositoryNamespace": "",
        "useAttributePrefix": "ORM\\",
        "useAutomaticRepository": true,
        "indentation": 4,
        "filename": "%entity%.%extension%",
        "quoteIdentifier": false
    }
}

Note: When using doctrine2-attribute, the generated code will use PHP 8 attribute syntax #[ORM\Entity] instead of annotation syntax @ORM\Entity. This requires PHP 8.0 or higher.
