# @alkdev/dbtype
Schema-first multi-dialect database type system. Define your schema once as a UJSX element tree, validate it with TypeBox, and render it to any Drizzle dialect.
Based on [drizzle-typebox](https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/tree/main/drizzle-typebox) by the Drizzle Team, adapted for use with `@alkdev/typebox` and `@alkdev/ujsx`.
## Install
```bash
npm install @alkdev/dbtype @alkdev/typebox @alkdev/ujsx
npm install drizzle-orm # peer dependency, only the dialects you use
```
## Architecture
See [docs/architecture/README.md](docs/architecture/README.md) for the full architecture specification.
### Core Principle
**The element tree is the schema. The module is the bundle. The host is the dialect.**
- UJSX elements (`
`, ``) define schemas with composable function components
- `Type.Module` holds all tables, relations, and derived schemas with automatic `Type.Ref` resolution
- `HostConfig` renders the same tree to `sqliteTable`, `pgTable`, or `mysqlTable`
### Quick Example
```tsx
import { Type, FormatRegistry } from '@alkdev/typebox'
import { Value } from '@alkdev/typebox/value'
import { h, createComponent } from '@alkdev/ujsx'
// Register custom format validators
FormatRegistry.Set('uuid', (v) => /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-...$/i.test(v))
// Composable column components
const IdColumn = createComponent('IdColumn', () =>
h('column', { name: 'id', type: 'uuid', primaryKey: true, default: 'uuid' })
)
const AuditColumns = createComponent('AuditColumns', () => [
h('column', { name: 'createdAt', type: 'timestamp', notNull: true, default: 'now' }),
h('column', { name: 'updatedAt', type: 'timestamp', notNull: true, default: 'now' }),
])
// Define a table
const UsersEl = h('table', { name: 'users' },
h(IdColumn, {}),
h('column', { name: 'name', type: 'string', notNull: true }),
h('column', { name: 'email', type: 'string', notNull: true }),
h(AuditColumns, {}),
)
// Extract to Type.Module for validation
const { name, schema } = extractTable(UsersEl)
const M = Type.Module({ Users: schema, UsersRelations: Type.Object({ tasks: Type.Array(Type.Ref('Tasks')) }) })
const Users = M.Import('Users')
Value.Check(Users, { id: '...', name: 'alice', email: 'a@b.com', createdAt: 1, updatedAt: 1 })
// → true
```
## Current State
**Phase 0: Exploration** — Architecture probing complete, implementation not started.
The current `src/` contains the forked drizzle-typebox code. The new architecture (UJSX elements, Type.Module, HostConfig) is designed and validated but not yet implemented.
