adding-database-tables

To add a database table with Drizzle ORM, define the schema in src/main/db/schema.ts, generate migrations using pnpm db:generate, and validate the output SQL. This ensures schema updates are version-controlled and consistent across the codebase.

Implementing a repository pattern for SQLite involves creating a repository class with CRUD operations after defining your Drizzle ORM schema. This isolates data access logic, making your TypeScript data layer cohesive and easily testable with unit tests.

Wiring IPC handlers for repository access requires connecting your repository class methods to IPC channels. This exposes CRUD operations to the frontend, ensuring end-to-end reliability through integration checks before data access requests are processed.

Yes, the Drizzle ORM migration workflow includes writing unit tests for repository implementations and performing integration checks. This enforces end-to-end reliability by validating schema updates, migration SQL, and IPC wiring together.

Yes, you can use this repository pattern approach for TypeScript SQLite projects. It standardizes adding tables by guiding schema definitions, generating migrations, implementing repositories, and wiring IPC, reducing boilerplate for both new and existing tables.
