SurrealGo Migrate

SurrealGo Migrate is a powerful tool designed to streamline database migrations for SurrealDB, simplifying the management of structural changes and keeping your workflow organized. It now supports SurrealDB v2.0.1.

Features

• Create new migration files with timestamps
• Execute "up" and "down" migrations
• Support for surrealql migrations
• Transactional migrations for data integrity
• SSL support for secure connections

Installation

Install SurrealGo Migrate using the following command:

go install github.com/JohnKinyanjui/surrealgo_migrate@latest

Usage

Creating a New Migration

To create a new migration, use the following command:

surrealgo_migrate --path [MIGRATION_PATH] migrate new [FILE_NAME]

Example:

surrealgo_migrate migrate --path database/migrations new add_users

This command generates new "up" and "down" migration files. Always provide a descriptive name for your migration.

Note: The event and migrate commands serve different purposes:

• event generates files for writing clean event functions
• migrate is used to define tables, fields, and other database structures

Applying Migrations

To apply pending migrations, use the "up" command:

surrealgo_migrate migrate up --path [MIGRATION_PATH] --host [HOST] --db [DATABASE] --ns [NAMESPACE] --user [USERNAME] --pass [PASSWORD]

Example:

surrealgo_migrate migrate up --path database/migrations --host localhost:8000 --db root --ns root --user root --pass root --path /internal/database/migrations

For secure connections, add the --ssl true flag:

surrealgo_migrate migrate up --path database/migrations --host localhost:8000 --db root --ns root --user root --pass root --ssl true

Rolling Back Migrations

To roll back migrations, use the "down" command (syntax similar to "up" command):

surrealgo_migrate migrate down --host [HOST] --db [DATABASE] --ns [NAMESPACE] --user [USERNAME] --pass [PASSWORD] --path [MIGRATION_PATH]

Transactional Migrations

SurrealGo Migrate executes each migration (both up and down) within a SurrealDB transaction. This approach offers several benefits:

1. Atomicity: If any part of a migration fails, the entire migration is rolled back. This prevents your database from being left in an inconsistent state.
2. Data Integrity: Transactions help ensure your database remains valid and consistent throughout the migration process.
3. Reliability: In case of unexpected errors or interruptions, your database won't be partially migrated.
