Postgres migration tool with plain sql
A very small library for running sql migrations with postgres. It differs from the numerous other libs in this domain by being very minimal, using only raw timestamped sql files. No "down" migrations are provided by design, as that is usually a bad idea in production anyway.
Using with CLI
yarn add @ovotech/pg-sql-migrate
add a configuration file, which by default is ./pg-sql-migrate.config.json
to configure the connection:
{
"client": "postgresql://postgres:dev-pass@localhost:5432/postgres",
"directory": "migrations",
"table": "migrations"
}
The default values for "directory" and "table" configuration is migrations
but you can override that if you need to.
Instead of a string you can use an object. This is passed directly to pg https://node-postgres.com/features/connecting
{
"client": {
"user": "postgres",
"password": "dev-pass",
"host": "localhost",
"database": "postgres",
"port": 5432
}
}
To create new migrations in the designated directory you can run:
yarn migrate create my_migration
This will create a file migrations/<timestamp>_my_migration.pgsql
that you can place raw sql into. After that, you can run the migration(s) by calling
yarn migrate execute
You can also specify the configuration as cli options
yarn migrate execute --config-directory ~/my/dir/migrations --config-table my-table --config-client postgresql://localhost:5432/my-database
In you code you can run it as a library
import { migrate } from '@ovotech/pg-sql-migrate';
await migrate();
Environment variables
In your config file you can use environment variables.
For example, if you have the env var PG_USER_PASS
setup, you can access it with:
{
"client": "postgresql://postgres:${PG_USER_PASS}@localhost:5432/postgres",
"directory": "migrations"
"table" "migrations"
}
Using the library
You can choose a different location for the config file, or to just input its contents directly:
import { migrate } from '@ovotech/pg-sql-migrate';
import { createLogger } from 'winston';
await migrate();
await migrate({ config: 'custom-config.json' });
await migrate({
config: {
client: 'postgresql://postgres:dev-pass@localhost:5432/postgres',
// Custom table location
table: 'my_table',
// Custom directory for migration files
directory: 'migrations_dir',
},
});
// Custom logger
const logger = createLogger();
await migrate({ logger });
// Dry run
await migrate({ dryRun: true });
Distabling transactions for some migrations
By default migrations are wrapped in transactions, but there are some PG operations that cannot be performed inside a transaction. You can disable this for a specific transaction by adding a prefix
-- pg-sql-migrate: DISABLE TRANSACTION
ALTER TYPE my_type ADD VALUE 'VAL2' AFTER 'VAL1';
Running the tests
You can run the tests with:
yarn test
Coding style (linting, etc) tests
Style is maintained with prettier and eslint
yarn lint
Deployment
Deployment is preferment by circleci automatically on merge / push to master, but you'll need to bump the package version numbers yourself.
