LinkLab

Explore, navigate and expose your data — zero application code.

LinkLab compiles a weighted semantic graph from your existing schema and lets you traverse it as a fluent API, an interactive REPL, or a REST + HATEOAS server.

No ORM. No migrations. No hidden SQL.

linklab init dvdrental
# edit dvdrental.linklab.ts — set your connection details
linklab build dvdrental
linklab repl dvdrental

▸ dvdrental.film('Academy Dinosaur').actor
  ↳ film → film_actor → actor
  10 results — 93ms

▸ dvdrental.film('Academy Dinosaur').actor.film
  ↳ film → film_actor → actor → film_actor → film
  244 results — 98ms

Quick install

npm install -g @linklabjs/cli

Then point it at your own database:

linklab init myproject
# edit myproject.linklab.ts — set your connection details
linklab build myproject
linklab repl myproject

You don't need to rewrite your project. Point LinkLab at an existing schema, explore what it finds, and decide from there.

Status
