2. Create a component-config.json file in your server folder (if you don't already have one)

3. Configure options inside component-config.json:

{
  "loopback-component-auto-migrate": {
    "enabled": true,
    "raiseError": false,
    "migration": "auto-migrate-data",
    "models": ["Role"],
    "fixtures": "./test/fixtures/"
  }
}

  • "auto-update" defaults: update the tables of the databse.
  • "auto-update-data": update the tables, load datas from fixtures folder.
  • "auto-load-data": load datas from fixtures folder.
• models [array of String]: the models to process. defaults to the all models in the model-config.json
  • a JSON file location can be used instead of passing all list inside component-config.json: "./test/models/model-list.json"
• fixtures [String]: the datas folder to import.
  • the file base name is the lowercase model name with dash seperated if any.
  • the file extension name is the data file format, the following format is supported:
    • cson
    • yaml
    • json

Usage

Automatically use it:

Just enable it on component-config.json.

or run node_modules/.bin/slc-migrate directly.

set DEBUG=loopback:component:autoMigrate:* env variable to show debug info.

When it runs through component-config.json, it is attaching the autoMigrate promise at app.get('loopback-component-auto-migrate-done') that you can use to know when all migrations, data importing etc have finished.

Also the loopback-component-auto-migrate-status will be set for convenience:

• 'loaded': autoMigrate loaded.
• 'failed': autoMigrate failed.
• 'done': autoMigrate successful.

Manually use it:

autoMigrate = require('loopback-component-auto-migrate/lib/auto-migrate');
autoMigrate(app, {models:['Role'], fixtures: 'yourDataFolder'}).then()

Updates

Made a modification? Test it at least in one project before submiting a version. It still needs unit testing and CI with projects. After everything seems perfectly up-to-date, run the following steps:

1. Commit and push your updates using Let's Bitbucket credentials

2. Change and commit a new tag version (always check and update the last version here and in package.json):

$ git tag -a vX.X.X -m "version_message"

3. Push the new tag version to remote repository:

$ git push origin vX.X.X  # Version needs to be the same from commit

4. Run npm installation with the newest version:

  npm install --save git+ssh://[email protected]/letscomunicadev/loopback-lets-auto-migrate-component.git#vX.X.X
