The goal is to allow users to start with a fresh, empty database or automatically initialize missing tables when loading an existing database.
Note
I will use the schema definitions from tables.sql provided by the user.
- Import the content of
tables.sql(I will need to read it as a string). - Extract table initialization logic into a helper function
initializeDatabase(db). - In
initializeDatabase, execute the SQL fromtables.sqlto create the main tables if they don't exist. - Update
handleFileUploadto useinitializeDatabase. - Add
handleCreateEmptyDbfunction to create a new database and initialize it. - Add "Start with Empty Database" button to the initial landing screen.
- Create a JS file to export the SQL string from
tables.sqlso it can be easily imported intoApp.jsx. Or I can just copy the content into a constant inApp.jsxorconstants.jsif importing raw SQL is tricky with the current Vite setup without extra plugins. Decision: I will copy the content tosrc/constants.jsas a constant stringINITIAL_SCHEMAto avoid build issues.
- Add
INITIAL_SCHEMAconstant containing the SQL fromtables.sql.
- Start Empty: Click the new button and verify that the dashboard loads with empty tables.
- Check Tables: Go to the "Database" tab and verify that
shumske,bregunice,naturalistexist and have the correct columns (I can check this by trying to export or viewing the table info in SQL console). - Load Empty DB: Load a physically empty
.dbfile and verify tables are created.
