Common questions

Is orm-preflight safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 28 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

orm-preflight

Preflight safety checks for TypeORM migrations: catch data loss and locking before you merge.

Documentation: https://sikandar100.github.io/orm-preflight/

Changing a column's length in TypeORM can delete all of its data. When a column's type or length changes, TypeORM's migration generator drops the column and adds it again (typeorm/typeorm#3357). The migration looks harmless in review and passes every test on an empty database. orm-preflight catches that, and other migrations that lose data, lock busy tables, or break a rolling deploy, before you merge.

src/migrations/1727100000000-WidenUserName.ts

7:30 error no-drop-and-recreate-column "users"."name" is dropped and re-added in the same migration. Every existing value in this column will be lost. Why: TypeORM drops and re-adds a column when its type or length changes, instead of changing it in place. The new column starts empty. Safe: Change the type in place: ALTER TABLE "users" ALTER COLUMN "name" TYPE varchar(255). Widening a varchar, or changing varchar to text, does not rewrite the table. ... Docs: https://github.com/sikandar100/orm-preflight/blob/main/docs/rules/no-drop-and-recreate-column.md

8:30 error no-add-not-null-without-default "users"."name" is added as NOT NULL without a default. The migration fails as soon as "users" has any rows. ...

2 errors, 0 warnings in 1 migration

Install and run

npm install --save-dev orm-preflight

npx orm-preflight "src/migrations/*.ts"

Node.js 20 or newer. Without arguments, orm-preflight checks the migrations globs from its config, or every migrations folder in the project.

To start on an existing project without fixing its history, run npx orm-preflight init first (see Adopting on an existing project).
