serverpod-models

What problem does it solve?

Serverpod data models are the foundation for type-safe serialization and ORM-backed database access, and this skill streamlines defining them in a single YAML source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Model definition in YAML (.spy.yaml): Create server and client Dart code from declarative model schemas.
• Serialization and schema generation: Generate serialization behavior, optional database tables, relations, enums, and exceptions.
• Database alignment via migrations: Ensure schema changes are propagated through the migration workflow when table definitions change.
• Common use cases: Define new entities, update fields safely for backward compatibility, add relations (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many), and model custom exceptions sent to clients.

Quick Start

Update or create your model in a .spy.yaml file under your server lib/ directory, then run serverpod generate and (if tables changed) apply the corresponding migrations workflow from serverpod-migrations.
