db-migr

Installation

Since the library is a JS-based solution, to install the latest version of db-migr you only need to run:

$ npm install --save db-migr

or

$ yarn add db-migr

How it works

This tool implements a lightweight migrations API that works with a array of migrations as the follow example:

const migrations = [
  {
    name: "001-create-table",
    migration: `
-- Up
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "people" (
  id   INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  name TEXT    NOT NULL
);

-- Down
DROP TABLE people;`,
  },
  {
    name: "002-create-index-name",
    migrationUp: `CREATE INDEX people_name ON people (name)`,
    migrationDown: `DROP INDEX people_name`,
  },
  {
    name: "003-create-field",
    migration: [
      "ALTER TABLE people ADD address VARCHAR(255)",
      "ALTER TABLE people ADD email VARCHAR(60)"
    ],
  },
  {
    name: "004-create-index-email",
    migration: `CREATE INDEX people_email ON people ('email')`,
  },
];

The name attribute it's required in each migration, so you can use this attribute as execution order and history. Every name needs to follow this format {n}-{description}. Migrations with names that didn't start with number will be ignored.

Each migration in your array could be based in a complex string, or using two attributes migrationUp and migrationDown. You could use in up operations some array of queries also.

It's very important to keep a history of migrations in your migrations array, if you remove some migration entry in futures updates/releases if you implements some migrationDown query this tool will automatically reverts your migrationUp.

Implement your query runner

To make this tool more versatile we didn't implement a default query runner method, so you can use this tool with your favorite database adapter just implementing some promisable/async query function.

Simple generic example:

import migr from "db-migr";

const myMigrations = [
  // a incremental list of migrations for your db...
];

const dbConn = ...implements your database connection

// run your migrations when you are sure that your db connection are already opened
migr({
  // implemention your query runner [required]
  // this method needs to return some promisable function
  query: async (query, params = []) => {
    return await dbConn.executeSql(query, params);
  },
  // pass your migrations
  migrations: myMigrations
}).then(() => {
  // if you got here, everything ran ok
}).catch(err => {
  // if you got here, something wrong happened
  // and you could look to `err` object
});
