💚 Sponsor DRZL

• Every dollar speeds up CI hardware and offsets long test runs on my aging laptop.
• Sponsors get roadmap input and priority responses in GitHub Issues.
• Prefer a quick overview? The current goals and thank-yous are at https://use-drzl.github.io/drzl/sponsor.

Commands

• Init: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli init
• Analyze: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli analyze <schema.ts> [--relations] [--validate]
• Explain: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli explain <table>, what DRZL understood about one table and what it did not
• Doctor: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli doctor, what DRZL cannot type or enforce in your schema, and why
• Generate: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli generate -c drzl.config.ts
• Watch: pnpm dlx @drzl/cli watch -c drzl.config.ts

All twenty-seven generators ship as dependencies of this package, so installing it is the only install you need to run any of them.

Minimal config

import { defineConfig } from '@drzl/cli/config';

export default defineConfig({
  schema: 'src/db/schemas/index.ts',
  outDir: 'src/api',
  generators: [
    { kind: 'zod', path: 'src/validators/zod' },
    { kind: 'service', path: 'src/services', dataAccess: 'drizzle' },
    { kind: 'orpc', template: '@drzl/template-orpc-service' },
  ],
});

Notes

• format.engine: 'auto' tries Prettier, then Biome. Both are your own: neither is bundled, and DRZL uses whichever it finds in your project, with your config. With neither installed the generated files are written exactly as rendered, which is the same valid TypeScript with worse whitespace. Add prettier as a dev dependency if you want it formatted.
• Naming an engine instead, format.engine: 'prettier' or 'biome', is a request rather than a preference, so an engine that cannot be loaded is reported on stderr with the reason. The files are still written, unformatted; nothing fails. 'auto' stays silent, because it asked for whatever happened to be installed and no formatter is a legitimate answer to that.
