Export & Import

Export SQL, OpenAPI, Mermaid ERDs, and TypeScript; import supported Terraform, Mermaid, and Jira data.

Export

In Unified, open the Export menu and choose Mermaid ERD. For SQL and TypeScript, open Transfer in Data Grid and choose SQL Schema or TS Interfaces.

The demo reaches the export quota, so it shows the .nodeable editor and Export menu without generated output. .nodeable is the model source; SQL and TypeScript are generated exports.

SQL

SQL export generates DDL for PostgreSQL from the branch's data model. It does not offer MySQL. Choose SQL (DDL) in Unified's Export menu or SQL Schema in Data Grid's Transfer menu, then copy or download the generated DDL.

Other exports

  • OpenAPI generates an OpenAPI specification.
  • Mermaid ERD exports entity relationships as Mermaid ER diagram text.
  • TypeScript exports TypeScript types from model definitions.

In Data Grid's export dialogs, copy or download the result. Mermaid ERD is exported from Unified's Export menu.

Import

Import dialogs provide a preview before making branch changes. Review the proposed changes and any diagnostics first; apply only when the preview has no error-severity diagnostics. Applying persists the reviewed changes to the branch.

Mermaid ERD

Use the Mermaid ERD import command, provide Mermaid ER diagram text, review the preview, and apply the import. This flow accepts ER diagrams, not Mermaid flowcharts.

Terraform

Terraform IaC import accepts Terraform plan JSON (for example, terraform show -json output). Review its create, update, and delete preview before applying. See the Terraform IaC import guide for supported resources and deletion scope.

Jira

The Jira integration is inbound-only: it imports Jira issues into Nodeable planning data. It does not synchronize Nodeable changes back to Jira. Configure it in Workspace Settings; the workspace settings guide explains the available settings.
