This version is still in development as I still have to cover everything with tests. Will do it in the next 2 weekends to reach the stable version.

Overview

Migrate Tool is a Node.js CLI tool for executing database migrations using the pg library as the database driver. The tool allows you to execute forward and backward migrations in a specified order based on the filename (datetime prefix).

Separate migrations can be run once, and if they succeed, they will be recorded in the database in the pre-defined table.

Installation & configuration

1. Install via CLI: npm install @metaaa/pgmigrate or yarn add @metaaa/pgmigrator

2. Create migrator.config.js inside the root of your project

3. Configure the migrator with the migrator.config.js file

Configuration

Before using the migrator, you need to configure your database credentials. You can do this by creating a migrator.config.js file in the root of your project. The file should export an object with the following properties:

require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  config: {
    host: process.env.PGHOST,
    port: Number(process.env.PGPORT),
    database: process.env.PGDATABASE,
    user: process.env.PGUSERNAME,
    password: process.env.PGPASSWORD,
    statement_timeout: 30,
    idle_in_transaction_session_timeout: 1800,
  },
  database: {
    tableName: 'migrations',
  },
  fileSystem: {
    migrationsDir: './src/database/migrations',
    outputDir: './dist/database/migrations',
    extension: '.ts',
  },
};

The config object is a PoolConfig typed object from the pg library. The available parameters can be found in the documentation of the pg library.

| PROPERTY |type | description | | -------- | --- | ----------- | | config.config | PoolConfig (object) | PoolConfig from the pg library | | config.database.tableName | string | name of the database table where the fact of successful execution will be stored per migration | | config.fileSystem.migrationsDir | string | path to the directory where the migration files will are stored (js/ts) | | config.fileSystem.outputDir | string | path to the directory where the migration files has to be created (js/ts) | | config.fileSystem.extension | string | extension of the generated migrations (.js/.ts) |
