Database And Feature Manifests

Feature manifests make database ownership explicit.

Auth persistence comes from @omgjs/labkit-server-auth-typeorm. Product features export their own entities and migrations. The app composes both into one TypeORM configuration.

Manifest Pattern

export const featureDatabaseManifest = {
  entities: [FeatureEntity],
  migrations: [CreateFeatureTable20260501000000],
};

const manifest = composeServerDatabaseManifests([
  serverAuthTypeormDatabaseManifest,
  featureDatabaseManifest,
]);

Migration Rule

Labkit helps detect unsafe runtime flags, but the app decides when migrations run. Keep synchronize local-only. Runtime environments should run known migrations with synchronization disabled.

The reference app keeps feature database manifests near the feature modules that own the entities.
