Migration

Go get

go get https://github.com/peeperklip/[email protected]
# add the -u flag for updating

(proposal on how to) Intergrate in your own project

1. Get according go get paragraph
2. Create a directory cli
   • as per https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout/tree/master/cmd
3. create a file + function that you can exectute command line

//Exexute in: $PROJECT_ROOT
//File: $PROJECT_ROOT/cli/migration.go
//Execute as: 
func main() {
	mig := migrations.NewMigration(
		utils.CreateConnection(),
		"postgress",
		".")
	migrations.Init(*mig)
}

Architecture:

app.go Is the entry point for the CLI
dialect.go Will eventually be used to support multiple SQL dialects
migration.go Holds all the logic for managing migrations

Codestyle:

structs go first, interfaces second, then the methods, then general functions. Besides that it's pretty much just gofmt .

To be improved in 0.0.2 and 0.0.3:

• The unsustainable swtich case in dialect.go
• The typejuggeling througout migration.go
• The last few methods in migration.go should be moved to its own file and struct
• Inject a logger
• unify output and make more of the underlying code swapable
• general improvements throughout as well as a better distinction between exported and unexported methods
