library0.3.0jsnpmunverified

Migration is a Node.js framework for managing database schema migrations using JavaScript files. It supports running migrations up or down to specific timestamps, and includes features like compiler support for JS preprocessors and environment flags. Based on TJ's node-migrate, it differentiates itself by using timestamps instead of sequence numbers, and supports custom compilers via the --compiler flag. Version 0.3.0 is stable with infrequent updates; compatible with Node >=0.8.0 and npm >=1.2.10. It stores migration state in a hidden file and is ideal for projects needing simple, file-based migration management.
