Migrant

Basic migration manager powered by migrant_lib

Supported databases:

• SQLite
• Postgres
• MySQL

migrant will manage all migrations that live under <project-dir>/migrations/, where project-dir is the closest parent path that contains a Migrant.toml configuration file (..../<project-dir>/Migrant.toml). The default migration file location can be modified in your Migrant.toml file ("migration_location"). If the migration_location directory doesn't exist, it will be created the first time you create a new migration. migrant stores all applied migrations in a database table named __migrant_migrations

Installation

By default migrant will build without any features, falling back to using each database's cli commands (psql & sqlite3). The postgres and rusqlite database driver libraries can be activated with the postgresql and sqlite features. Both of these drivers require their dev libraries (postgresql: libpq-dev, sqlite: libsqlite3-dev). Self update functionality (updating to the latest GitHub release) is available behind the update feature. The binary releases are built with all features.

See releases for binaries. If you've installed a binary release, you can update to the latest release via migrant self update.

Install from source/crates.io:

# install without features
# use cli commands for all db interaction
cargo install migrant

# install with `postgres`
cargo install migrant --features postgresql

# install with `rusqlite`
cargo install migrant --features sqlite

# all
cargo install migrant --features 'postgresql sqlite'

Simple Usage

migrant init [--type <database-type>, --location <project-dir>, --no-confirm] - Initialize project by creating a Migrant.toml file with db info/credentials. When run interactively (without --no-confirm), setup will be run automatically.

migrant setup - Verify database info/credentials and setup a __migrant_migrations table if missing.

migrant new <tag> - Generate new up & down files with the given <tag> under the specified migration_location.

migrant edit <tag> [--down] - Edit the up [or down] migration file with the given <tag>.

migrant list - Display all available .sql files and mark those applied.

migrant apply [--down, --all, --force, --fake] - Apply the next available migration[s].

migrant shell - Open a repl

migrant which-config - Display the full path of the Migrant.toml file being used

migrant connect-string - Display either the connection-string generated from config-params or the database-path for sqlite

migrant self update - Update to the latest version released on GitHub.

migrant self bash-completions install [--path <path>] - Generate a bash completion script and save it to the default or specified path.

Usage as a library

See migrant_lib and examples. migrant itself is just a thin wrapper around migrant_lib, so the full functionality of migration management can be embedded in your actual project.

Development

• Install dependencies: sqlite3, libsqlite3-dev, postgresql, libpq-dev
