dbui

An opinionated database interface for PostgreSQL. It's a work in progress.

Running as a client application or shared server, dbui allows you to query and inspect your database, with a focus on performance, correctness, and speed.

See installing.md for installation guidance.

See scripts.md for available tools for building, running, and packaging the app.

Crates

dbui splits its code into several library crates:

• dbui-assets: Contains embedded static files intended to be served from the web application
• dbui-client: Run in the client's browser as a WebAssembly package, includes templates
• dbui-controllers: Contains actix-web HTTP controllers, usually calling methods from dbui-service
• dbui-core: Contains definitions that are shared between server and client
• dbui-database: Contains definitions for working with PostgreSQL database servers and marshalling results
• dbui-service: Contains the primary logic for the application. It receives RequestMessages and emits ResponseMessages
• dbui-templates: Contains Maud templates used by the server to render responses
• dbui: Stored in the root of the project, this is the app's main library and binary
