library0.1.2jsnpmunverified

An abstract migration framework for Node.js written in CoffeeScript that stores migration steps in a database. Version 0.1.2 is the latest stable release, with no recent updates. It is based on coffee-migrate but differs by persisting migrated file titles in the database. Requires manual implementation of database-specific methods (lock, release, getStoredMigrations, saveState, removeMigration) in a dbMigration.coffee file. This is a niche, unmaintained package with limited documentation and no active development; consider more robust alternatives like Knex.js or node-pg-migrate.

migrate (CLI)
✓ npx migrate [options] [command]
✗ require('coffee-db-migrate')
This package is a CLI tool and should be invoked via the command line, not imported programmatically.

Demonstrates installation, creating a migration file, implementing mandatory dbMigration.coffee methods, and running a migration with DB storage.

# Install globally npm install -g coffee-db-migrate # Create a migration directory and file mkdir migrations cd migrations migrate create my_migration # Then implement dbMigration.coffee in the migrations folder: # migrations/dbMigration.coffee exports.lockMigrationProcess = (next) -> next() exports.releaseMigration = (next) -> next() exports.getStoredMigrations = (next) -> next([]) exports.saveState = (title, status, next) -> next() exports.removeMigration = (title, next) -> next() # Run migration up with DB storage migrate up --db
Debug
Known issues
gotchaThe package is written in CoffeeScript and requires a dbMigration.coffee file; if you don't use CoffeeScript, you must compile or supply CoffeeScript files.
fix
Ensure your migrations folder contains a valid CoffeeScript file named dbMigration.coffee with the required exports.
affects: >=0
gotchaThe package is unmaintained and may have compatibility issues with modern Node.js versions.
fix
Consider using an actively maintained migration tool like Knex.js or node-pg-migrate.
affects: >=10
gotchaThe CLI flag --db is required to store migration steps in db; omitting it uses a file-based approach, but the README does not clarify behavior.
fix
Always use --db flag if you intend to use database storage.
affects: >=0
