Basic Setup

• create a ".env" file and ".env.local" (optional) file
• create a "migrate-mongo.config.js" file
• create a "migrations" directory
  • create sub-directory "default"
  • create sub-directory per "brand"
  • place a sample-migration.js in "default" and "brand" directories (optional)

sample .env

this should be used to define settings for all environments and secret keys

#setup directory name for default migrations (mandatory)
DefaultMigrationsDir="default"

#setup vault secret for user name + password (optional)
MongoDbOptions__AdminUserName="VaultKey--kv-v2/data/mongodb/Username"
MongoDbOptions__AdminPassword="VaultKey--kv-v2/data/mongodb/Password"

#setup url for mongodb which can then be used in migrate-mongo-config.js (optional)
MongoDb__Url="mongodb://$MongoDbOptions__AdminUserName:$MongoDbOptions__AdminPassword@$MongoDbOptions__DatabaseHost"

sample .env.local

this should be used to define settings for local development only

#setup host for mongodb to be used as placeholder in mongodb url (optional)
MongoDbOptions__DatabaseHost="localhost:27017"

#setup defaults for environment and brand; can still be overwritten by cli with "--env" and "--brand" (optional)
Environment=dev
Brand=myBrand

#setup logs for processes
Logger_LogFile=<Log file path, default is logs/log.json>
Logger_LogLevel=<Log level default is "info">
Logger_ClientUrl=<elastic log url. Unset if no use>
Logger_ClientUsername=<username>
Logger_ClientPassword=<password>
Logger_ClientIndex=<expected index>

sample migrate-mongo.config.js

with this config we can map settings defined in environment for migrate-mongo we can access settings defined in environment variables or .env files by process.env

/** @type {import("migrate-mongo").config.Config} */
module.exports = {
    mongodb: {
        // Change (or review) the url to your MongoDB:
        url: `${process.env.MongoDb__Url}`,

        // Change this to your database name
        databaseName: "my-database"
    },

    // The migrations dir, can be an relative or absolute path. Only edit this when really necessary.
    migrationsDir: "migrations",

    // The mongodb collection where the applied changes are stored. Only edit this when really necessary.
    changelogCollectionName: "migrations",

    // The file extension to create migrations and search for in migration dir
    migrationFileExtension: ".js",

    // Enable the algorithm to create a checksum of the file contents and use that in the comparison to determine
    // if the file should be run.  Requires that scripts are coded to be run multiple times.
    useFileHash: false,

    // Change moduleSystem for migration files. Supported values are "commonjs" and "esm".
    moduleSystem: "commonjs"
};
