DAB Add extension

Use the DAB Add extension to discover SQL objects and add them to an existing Data API builder configuration file.

Screenshot of the DAB Add context menu in Visual Studio Code with table, view, and relationship options.

Note

Current support is focused on Microsoft SQL Server (mssql).

Available actions

From the Explorer context menu on a supported configuration file, select DAB Add and choose one of these actions:

  • Table (dabExtension.addTable)
  • View (dabExtension.addView)
  • Stored Procedure (dabExtension.addProc)
  • Relationship (dabExtension.addRelationship)
  • Linking Table (dabExtension.addLinkingTable)

What the extension does

  • Connects to your configured data source.
  • Discovers schema objects and filters existing entries.
  • Prompts for selections and required metadata (such as view key fields).
  • Executes DAB CLI add/update operations to apply changes safely.

Installation

Every extension for Data API builder (DAB) is included in the Omnibus extension, which itself has no functionality other than delivering each subextension in a single package.
