@monlite/studio

A tiny local web inspector for monlite databases — browse collections, view documents, run filter queries, and delete records, from your browser. Zero build step, runs on the built-in node:sqlite (or better-sqlite3 if installed).

npx @monlite/studio app.db
# 🌙 monlite studio → http://127.0.0.1:53219

Open the printed URL. The left panel lists your collections (with counts); pick one to browse its documents. The filter box takes a monlite where clause as JSON (e.g. {"age":{"gte":18}}); paginate with Prev/Next.

Options

monlite-studio <db-path> [options]
  -p, --port <n>   Port to listen on (default: a random free port)
      --host <h>   Host to bind (default: 127.0.0.1 — localhost only)
      --readonly   Open read-only (disables delete)
  -h, --help       Show help

It only identifies real monlite collections (tables with _id + data), so system/internal tables (_monlite_*, FTS shadows, …) are hidden, and an unknown collection never accidentally creates a table.

Security

Studio exposes full read (and, unless --readonly, delete) access to the database with no auth, so it binds to 127.0.0.1 only by default. Don't put it on a public interface.

Programmatic

import { createStudioServer } from "@monlite/studio";

const server = createStudioServer("app.db", { readonly: true });
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1");
// or pass an already-open db: createStudioServer("label", { db })
