📖 How to use - CLI

1. Initialize a new migration project

This command will create a new directory called migropy with the necessary files to manage your migrations & db parameters.

migropy init

2. Fill the config.ini file

This file is generated in your current directory and contains the database connection parameters and the path to the migration

[database]
# database connection parameters
# available types: postgres, mysql
host = localhost
port = 5432
user = postgres
password = postgres
dbname = my_database
type = postgres # or mysql

[migrations]
# path to migration scripts
# use forward slashes (/) also on windows to provide an os agnostic path
script_location = migropy

[logger]
# available levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
level = DEBUG

3. Create a new migration

This command will create a new migration file in the migropy/versions directory with the following template:

migropy generate 'migration name'

-- Up migration

-- Down migration

4. Apply the migrations

This command will apply all the migrations in the migrations directory. Please note the migrations are applied in the prefix order.

migropy upgrade

5. Downgrade the migrations

This command will downgrade all the migrations in the migrations directory. Please note the migrations are downgraded in the prefix order.

migropy downgrade

6. Rollback the migrations

This command will rollback the last n migrations in the migrations directory, starting from the last one executed.

migropy rollback <n>

🐍 How to use - Python

You can also use Migropy as a library in your Python code. Here is an example of how to use it:

# Importing the function to load the migration configuration
from migropy.configuration_parser import load_config

# Importing the Postgres database adapter
from migropy.databases.postgres import Postgres

# Importing the common database configuration structure
from migropy.databases.commons import DbConfig

# Importing the migration engine responsible for applying migrations
from migropy.migration_engine import MigrationEngine

# Create a database configuration object with connection parameters
db_config = DbConfig(
    host="localhost",      # Database server hostname or IP
    port=5432,             # Default PostgreSQL port
    user="user",           # Username to connect to the database
    password="password",   # Password for the given user
    database="test"        # Name of the target database
)

# Instantiate a Postgres database connection using the provided configuration
db = Postgres(db_config)

# Create a MigrationEngine instance with:
# - the database connection
# - the loaded configuration (usually from a file like migropy.ini)
engine = MigrationEngine(db=db, config=load_config())

# Initialize the migropy environment and create the necessary tables
# use it just once!!!
engine.init()

# Generate a new migration revision with a descriptive name
engine.generate_revision(revision_name='first revision')

# Apply all pending migrations to upgrade the database schema
engine.upgrade()

CREATE TABLE users
(
    id    SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,

);

-- Down migration
DROP TABLE users;
