✨ DB Introspection Tool free tool

Open-Source developers tool that provides simple helpers for legacy databases introspection. Crafted on top of Python and Peewee.

• Peewee DB Reflection
• Supported DB: SQLite, MySql, PostgreSQL
• DbWrapper Class:
  • print_all_models() - returns all tables
  • print_db_model - print table definition
  • dump_tables() - Dump SQL definitions (all tables)
  • dump_tables_data() - Dump database content (all tables)

✨ Data Converter free tool

A tools that provides simple helpers for data management:

• UI managed by Flask

• CSV Files:

  • Print
  • Columns: Remove, Update
  • Add New Column with random values:
    • timestamp, random_int and random string (via Faker)
  • CSV to JSON conversion

  

✨ Full-Stack OpenAPI Generator free tool

Starter project that uses an OpenAPI specifications to bind a NodeJs Express backend and a React frontend, using an API-first approach. Generated codebase features and options:

Backend

• Express is the most popular NodeJs web framework; the following commonly used plugins have been included:
  • helmet is a utility for setting HTTP headers
  • morgan is a logging utility
  • cors is a utility for configuring cross origin request security
  • express-openapi-validator is a utility for validating API requests against the OpenAPI specification
• TypeORM is an ORM that supports the DataMapper pattern, which makes is more attractive in combination with the "API first" approach
• Express JWT and JWKS-RSA are two utilities for verifying a JWT token authenticity, in an OAuth2 / OpenID connect context

React Frontend

• Create React App is the most popular way to start with React; the Seed provides three UI alternatives:
  • Material UI
  • Chakra UI
  • React Bootstrap
  • Ant Design
• React Redux is a state container using the immutable state / action / reducer pattern
• Recharts is a charts library built with React and D3
• React I18Next is a popular internationalization framework for React
• OpenID AppAuth-Js is an OAuth2 / OpenID connect flow library

🚀 OpenAPI Editor

In-Browser Developers Tool - Edit your OpenAPI definition directly in browser and download the generated JSON file. For newcomers, OpenAPI is an open-source format for designing RESTful APIs and web services that serves as a single source of truth for all parties involved in the software development process: developers, testers.

This free service/tools can be used to edit and generate unlimited OpenAPI definitions. The editor supports editing the global API information (Title, API version, description), add/remove entities, and fields for each OpenAPI entity:

• ✔️ string
• ✔️ timestamp
• ✔️ UUID
• ✔️ binary
• ✔️ boolean
• ✔️ number
• ✔️ array
• ✔️ object (all entities previously defined)

🚀 OpenAPI Parser

Tool to extract relevant information from an OpenAPI descriptor. The information can be used to generate code (helpers, business logic or a database schema).

• 👉 Free support via Email and Discord
• 👉 More Developer Tools - provided by AppSeed

🚀 DevTool UI Tester

This tool provides a simple way to ensure compatibilty of a React project accross different Node environments and tools (NPM, Yarn).

How it Works

• The target React Projects are added to repositories.json file
• Tool Configuration
  • Supported Compilers: NPM, Yarn
  • Supported environments: Ubuntu, MacOS (All provided by GH Actions)
  • Node Versions: 10.x, 12.x, 14.x, 16.x, 18.x
• Once the changes are subbmitted, the automatized tests are executed via Github actions
• For each build, a screen-shot is taken at the end

🚀 Django Dynamic API

This tool aims to provide a secure, production-ready API via DRF (Django REST Framework) using the developer's minimum amount of code.

How it works

• Define a new model in the project (an old one can be also used)
• Execute the database migration to create/update the associated tables
• Update the configuration to enable the Dynamic API over the model
• Start the app
• Access the Dynamic API Service

Development Status

Status	Item	info
✅	New Models Definition in apps/models	-
✅	The app is saved in apps/dyn_api	-
✅	Models enabled in core/settings.py via DYNAMIC_API variable	-
✅	The project exposes automatically a CRUD API over the new model	-
✅	Path of the service: /api/products/	In case the new model is Products
✅	The API is powered via DRF using best practices	-

🚀 Django Dynamic DataTables

The tool aims to provide a powerful data table interface using the developer's minimum amount of code.

How it works

• Define a new model in the project (an old one can be also used)
• Execute the database migration to create/update the associated tables
• Update the configuration to enable the Dynamic Data Table service over the model
• Start the app
• Access the Dynamic DataTable provided on op of the model

Status	Item	info
✅	New Models Definition in apps/models	-
✅	The app is saved in apps/dyn_datatables	-
✅	Models enabled in core/settings.py via DYNAMIC_DATATB variable	-

✅	Path of the service: /datatb/products/	In case the new model is Products
✅	The page exposes the controls: Items per page, Search, Server Side Pagination	-
