Build and deploy a data dictionary generator with NodeJS

Closed this issue ยท 2 comments

Introduction

A Data Dictionary contains information about attributes or fields of a certain data set. It can comprise of all the tables in a database, columns of those tables and their descriptions, constraints, primary and foreign key relationships to other tables. It is also great for documentation.

In this article, I will be guiding the readers on a step-by-step process on how to create a simple and configurable data dictionary generator.

Key takeaways

The following shall be discussed in the article;

  • Readers will be introduced to data dictionaries
  • Readers with no prior knowledge of NodeJs will be exposed to the language

Article Quality

This article will introduce the readers to how they can further improve documentation with data dictionaries.

Sounds like a helpful topic - lets please be sure it adds value beyond what is in any official docs and/or what is covered in other blog sites. (We're really looking for unique/original content. EngEd articles should go beyond a basic explanation - and it is always best to reference any EngEd article and build upon it).

Please be attentive to grammar/readability and make sure that you put your article through a thorough editing review prior to submitting for final approval. (There are some great free tools that we reference in EngEd resources.)

ANY ARTICLE SUBMITTED WITH GLARING ERRORS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED.

Please be sure to double check that it does not overlap with any existing EngEd articles, articles on other blog sites, or any incoming EngEd topic suggestions (if you haven't already) to avoid any potential article closure.
Please reference any relevant EngEd articles in yours. - Approved
