Simple command line tool for viewing table info in HTML

MySQL exporter

MySQL exporter is a simple tool for generating data dictionaries from database.

Configuring

The exporter uses simple config.json, in the current workind directory. Just create config.json and use the following format:

{
    "mysql": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "user": "root",
        "password": "",
        "database": "mysql"
    },
    "fields_ignored": []
}

Fields ignored is an array of fields which shouldn't be in the report. It's case insensitive.

Running

If you have node and git installed on your system, simply create the config and run npx github:danbulant/mysqlExporter.

Saving and sharing reports

On the newly opened page (opened by running), press ctrl+s and save the HTML file. That file is fully self-contained, even for offline use, so you can share the report with others.
