export default defineConfig({

  dialect, // a `Kysely` dialect instance OR the name of an underlying driver library (e.g. `'pg'`).
  dialectConfig, // optional. when `dialect` is the name of an underlying driver library, `dialectConfig` is the options passed to the Kysely dialect that matches that library.
  migrations: { // optional.
    allowJS, // optional. controls whether `.js`, `.cjs` or `.mjs` migrations are allowed. default is `false`.
    getMigrationPrefix, // optional. a function that returns a migration prefix. affects `migrate make` command. default is `() => ${Date.now()}_`.
    migrationFolder, // optional. path to where migration files are located. default is a folder named "migrations" next to the config file/folder.
    migrator, // optional. a `Kysely` migrator instance factory of shape `(db: Kysely<any>) => Migrator | Promise<Migrator>`. default is `Kysely`'s `Migrator`.

    getSeedPrefix, // optional. a function that returns a seed prefix. affects `seed make` command. default is `() => ${Date.now()}_`.

  }
});

Reuse Kysely instance defined elsewhere

You can pass a Kysely instance, instead of dialect, dialectConfig & plugins:

import { defineConfig } from "kysely-ctl";
import { kysely } from 'path/to/kysely/instance';

export default defineConfig({
  destroyOnExit, // optional. dictates whether the `kysely` instance should be destroyed when a command is finished executing. default is `true`.
  // ...
  kysely,
  // ...
});

Custom migration/seed file prefixes

To use Knex's timestamp prefixes:

import { defineConfig, getKnexTimestampPrefix } from "kysely-ctl";

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  migrations: {
    // ...
    getMigrationPrefix: getKnexTimestampPrefix,
    // ...
  },
  // ...
});

Extending configuration

See c12 docs and the following example.

Environment-specific configuration

See c12 docs and the following example.

knex migrate:<command>

Can now be called as either:

kysely migrate:<command>

or

kysely migrate <command>

[!NOTE] rollback without --all flag is not supported, as Kysely doesn't keep track of "migration batches".

knex seed:<command>

Can now be called as either:

kysely seed:<command>

or

kysely seed <command>

[!NOTE] We also provide kysely seed list, which is not part of Knex.js CLI.

Single-query:

kysely sql "select 1"

or interactive mode:

kysely sql -f json

✔ sqlite ❯
select 1;
{
  "rows": [
    {
      "1": 1
    }
  ]
}

❯ sqlite ❯
exit
