SchemaForge v1.7.0: VS Code Extension + 11-Format Bidirectional ORM Conversion

SchemaForge now supports 11 schema formats with 110 bidirectional conversion paths — and a full VS Code extension with live preview, quick convert (Ctrl+Alt+S), format detection (Ctrl+Alt+D), and two-file diff. All tested, all zero-loss.

What's New in v1.7.0

This is our biggest release. We've expanded from 6 to 11 supported formats, shipped a complete VS Code extension, and crossed 270 tests covering every conversion path.

🧩

11 Formats

SQL DDL, Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, Django, SQLAlchemy, GraphQL SDL, JSON Schema, OpenAPI 3.0, Protobuf, Avro

🔄

110 Direction Pairs

Every format converts to every other format. Prisma → Django? Done. SQL DDL → Drizzle? Done. Zero-loss roundtripping on all paths.

VS Code Extension

Live preview panel, quick convert (Ctrl+Alt+S), format detection (Ctrl+Alt+D), two-file diff, right-click context menu, custom .schemaforge editor

🧪

270+ Tests

Every format pair tested with real-world schemas covering constraints, indexes, relations, defaults, enums, and edge cases.

The Full Format List

Format	File Extension	Language
SQL DDL	.sql	SQL (universal)
Prisma	.prisma	TypeScript / Prisma
Drizzle ORM	.ts	TypeScript
TypeORM	.ts (decorators)	TypeScript
Django	models.py	Python
SQLAlchemy	models.py	Python
GraphQL SDL	.graphql	GraphQL
JSON Schema	.json	JSON
OpenAPI 3.0	.yaml / .json	OpenAPI
Protobuf	.proto	Protocol Buffers
Avro	.avsc	Apache Avro

VS Code Extension Features

The extension turns VS Code into a schema conversion workspace:

Live Preview Panel — Open a schema file and see the converted output in a side panel. Changes update in real-time.
Quick Convert — Press Ctrl+Alt+S to convert the active file. Extension detects the source format and prompts for the target.
Format Detection — Ctrl+Alt+D auto-detects the schema format of the current file (Prisma, Drizzle, SQL DDL, etc.).
Two-File Diff — Compare two schema files side-by-side, regardless of format.
Context Menu — Right-click any schema file and select "SchemaForge: Convert..."
Custom Editor — Files with .schemaforge extension open in a dedicated editor with format-paired conversion.

Quick Start

Install the CLI:

pip install schemaforge

Convert a Prisma schema to SQLAlchemy models:

schemaforge convert schema.prisma --from prisma --to sqlalchemy

Convert SQL DDL to Drizzle TypeScript:

schemaforge convert schema.sql --from sql-ddl --to drizzle

Convert Django models to TypeORM:

schemaforge convert models.py --from django --to typeorm

270+ Tests, Zero-Loss Roundtripping

Every format pair is tested with complex real-world schemas. We verify:

Constraints — PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, UNIQUE, NOT NULL, CHECK, DEFAULT preserved across all conversions
Indexes — Single-column, composite, unique, partial, and full-text indexes
Relations — One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many with junction tables
Enums and custom types — Schema-specific type mappings
Roundtrip fidelity — Convert A→B→A and verify the output produces the same schema

Why SchemaForge?

Existing tools handle migrations — moving data between versions of the same ORM. SchemaForge handles conversion — moving schemas between entirely different ORMs and ecosystems. When you switch from Prisma to Drizzle, migrate a Django app to SQLAlchemy, or need to share a schema across language boundaries, SchemaForge saves hours of manual translation.

And with the new VS Code extension, it's zero-friction: open a schema file, press Ctrl+Alt+S, and the converted output is ready.
