Run from CLI

[retani]

How can I run this from CLI – and how would I set the MONGO URL?

Write a wrapper script as seen in the readme. Call this from CLI.

Thanks for the quick reply and the contributing this package.

Here is an example wrapper for using the migrate cli command with state storage in your mongo db:

// migrate.js

var migrate = require('migrate')
const { MongoStateStore } = require('@nodepit/migrate-state-store-mongodb');

const MONGODB_URI = "mongodb://localhost:27017"

module.exports = class MyMongoStateStore extends MongoStateStore {
  constructor() {
    super(MONGODB_URI)
  }
}

usage:
migrate up --store=./migrate.js
migrate down --store=./migrate.js

Many thanks for posting this here -- to be honest, we do not use the “pure” CLI of migrate at all, but invoke it through the API, so this hadn’t even occurred to me. Good to see this alternative! :-)

I’ll update the readme with your example!

This info is somehow missing from https://github.com/tj/node-migrate as well.

I finally added "migrate:up": "migrate up --store=./migrate.js" to scripts in package.json, so in the command that I actually run in CLI is npm run migrate:up. It's almost like migrations in Ruby on Rails.
