Skipper

Visual ORM designer for PHP and JS.

Visit Skipper

Skipper is a visual ORM designer for PHP and JavaScript frameworks. It replaces manual coding of ORM definitions with a graphical interface where you can model entities, fields, associations and ORM properties. It supports multiple export formats (annotations, XML, YML) and frameworks including Doctrine, Laravel Eloquent, Propel, CakePHP, Knex.js and MongoDB ODM. A headless CLI allows AI assistants to read, modify, validate and export schemas via JSON.
