Knex.js Mastery: Automating Database Schema Changes

Knex.js: The Flexible SQL Query Builder

Knex.js is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Node.js. It features a powerful migration system that allows you to manage your database schema versioning. When starting a new feature, you often have a JSON data mockup that needs to be translated into a Knex migration file. Manually writing table.string('name') for dozens of columns is a repetitive task.
