Migrate.js

Introduction

This is a minimalist MongoDB only (for the moment) migration framework. It comes with a basic CLI tool to help you manage your database migrations.

Installation

Locally

npm i --save migrate.js

The CLI tool is available in ./node_modules/migrate.js/migrate.js or as migrate.js if accessed in your scripts section of your package.json file.

Globally

npm i -g migrate.js

The CLI tool is available as migrate.js. Simply execute it from your base project directory, where the migrations folder resides.

Migration files

Create a folder named migrations in your project and store your migration files here. The files should be named with the following pattern : xxxx-this-is-an-updater.js.

Example migration file

// 0001-add-new-field.js

exports.up = function * () {
  yield this.updateCollection('products', function * (doc) {
    doc.newField = 'this is the extra field'
    return doc
  })
}

exports.down = function * () {
  yield this.updateCollection('products', function * (doc) {
    delete doc.newField
    return doc
  })
}
