Introduction

d9 is a free and open-source data platform for headless content management. It can be installed on top of any new or existing SQL database, instantly providing a dynamic API (REST+GraphQL) and accompanying App for managing content. Built entirely in TypeScript (in Node and Vue), d9 is completely modular and end-to-end extensible... with absolutely no paywalls or artificial limitations.

Modern and intuitive, the d9 App enables no-code data discovery, allowing for even the most non-technical users to view, author, and manage your raw database content. Our performant and flexible API is able to adapt to any relational schema, and includes rule-based permissions, event/web hooks, custom endpoints, numerous auth options, configurable storage adapters, and much more.

Current database support includes: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MS-SQL Server, OracleDB, MariaDB, and variants such as AWS Aurora/Redshift or Google Cloud Platform SQL.

Installing

d9 requires NodeJS 18+.

Install d9:

npm install @wbce-d9/directus9

Or using yarn:

yarn install @wbce-d9/directus9

Create a new project with our simple CLI tool:

npx directus init

The above command will create a directory with your project name, then walk you through the database configuration and creation of your first admin user.

Updating

To update an existing d9 project, navigate to your project directory and run:

npm update

Migrating from [email protected]^ to @[email protected]^

You need to change your dependencies:

1. In package.json

"directus":9.0.0^ --> "@wbce-d9/directus9": 9.0.0^
"@directus/some-package" --> "@wbce-d9/some-package"

2. Update your dependencies:

npm update

3. If you have some code:

import {...} from "directus"
import {...} from "@directus/some-package"

should become:

import {...} from "@wbce-d9/directus9"
import {...} from "@wbce-d9/some-package"

4. You don't have to do any changes to your databases. d9 uses the same schema as [email protected]^. As a consequence, you don't need other changes than the three steps below.
