Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-migration-snapshots.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install Django Migration Snapshots:

pip install django-migration-snapshots

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    "migration_snapshots",
    ...
)

1) Execute management command to create snapshot

# creates snapshot of entire migration history
python manage.py create_snapshot

# filter migrations before applied date (YYYY-MM-DD)
python manage.py create_snapshot --date="2022-10-15"

2) Create object programmatically or from the admin panel

MigrationSnapshot.objects.create(output_format="pdf")

3) Automatically create migration snapshots with the post_migrate signal

from django.apps import AppConfig
from django.db.models.signals import post_migrate

def my_snapshot_callback(sender, **kwargs):
    # Create migration snapshot
    MigrationSnapshot.objects.create(output_format="pdf")

class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
    ...

    def ready(self):
        # send signal only once after all migrations execute
        post_migrate.connect(my_snapshot_callback, sender=self)

Text Snapshot

    "admin/0001_initial" -> "auth/0001_initial"
