Apply migrations to an ArangoDB in a transaction-safe manner with optional before/after hooks and dry-run support.
yarn add arango-migrate -DNote: Check out a functioning sample in the arango-migrate-example repository.
Usage: cli [options]
Options:
-c, --config <config> path to a js config file. Defaults to ./config.migrate.js
-u, --up run up migrations. Defaults to running all unapplied migrations if no --to parameter is provided
-d, --down run down migrations. --to parameter is required
-t, --to <version> run migrations to and including a specific version
-i --init <name> initialize a new migration file
-l --list list all applied migrations
-dr --dry-run dry run. Executes migration lifecycle functions but never commits the transaction to the database or writes to the migration history log
-nh --no-history Skips writing to the migration history log. Use this with caution since the applied migrations will not be saved in the migration
history log, opening the possibility of applying the same migration multiple times and potentially dirtying your data
-h, --help display help for command
Create a config.migrate.js file in the root of your project. This file contains the database connection information and options for running migrations.
Example:
import 'dotenv/config'
export default {
dbConfig: {
databaseName: process.env.ARANGO_NAME,
url: process.env.ARANGO_URL,
auth: {
username: process.env.ARANGO_USERNAME,
password: process.env.ARANGO_PASSWORD || ''
}
},
autoCreateNewCollections: true, // defaults to true if not specified
migrationHistoryCollection: 'migration_history', // defaults to 'migration_history' if not specified
migrationsPath: './migrations'
}yarn arango-migrate -i new-migration-name
This will create an empty migration file in the migrations directory.
This migration will create new collections todo, user, an edge collection user_todo and then insert documents in them. Additional lifecycle functions can be added to the migration file, see the full list of options below. If a collection does not exist it will be created by default (set autoCreateNewCollections option to false to disable this behavior).
import { CollectionType } from 'arangojs'
const migration = {
description: 'Simple migration',
async collections () {
// All collections used in this migration must be defined here. A string or an options object can be used.
return [
'todo',
'user',
{
collectionName: 'user_todo_edge',
options: {
type: CollectionType.EDGE_COLLECTION
}
}]
},
async up (db, step) {
// Using the `step` function, add a new document to the collection as part of this migration's transaction.
await step(async () => await db.collection('todo').save({
_key: '1',
name: 'Buy milk'
}))
await step(async () => await db.collection('user').save({
_key: '1',
name: 'John Doe'
}))
await step(async () => await db.collection('user_todo_edge').save({
_from: 'user/1',
_to: 'todo/1'
}))
}
}
export default migrationyarn arango-migrate -u
Runs all un-applied migrations.
yarn arango-migrate -u -t 2
Runs all un-applied migrations up to and including migration with version number 2.
Individual migrations are ran within a transaction in order to keep the database in a valid state if a migration fails. The migration's transaction is committed to ArangoDB after the up or down functions are executed.
Observe how the second argument of the up and down functions is a function called step. This is a special function which allows you to add valid ArangoDB operations to the transaction.
For example in order to add a new document to the todo collection.
const up = async (db, step) => {
const todoItem = await step(async () => await db.collection('todo').save({
_key: '1',
name: 'Buy milk'
}))
return todoItem;

}To get started with development, clone the repository and install dependencies with your package manager of choice. This project uses yarn by default.
Then copy the .env.example file to .env. The default values should work for most cases.
Now start the ArangoDB docker container by running docker-compose up -d.
Once the container is running make sure everything is working by running yarn test and yarn build. If both commands succeed you are ready to start contributing to this project.
