#mongo-migrate ####NPM: mongodb-migrate

Built starting with a framework from: https://github.com/visionmedia/node-migrate

Installation

$ npm install mongodb-migrate

##Usage

Usage: node mongodb-migrate [options] [command]

Options:
	-runmm, --runMongoMIgrate		Run the migration from the command line
	-c, --chdir <path>				Change the working directory (if you wish to store your migrations outside of this folder
	-dbc, --dbConfig            	Valid JSON string containing db settings (overrides -c, -cfg, & -dbn), like this:
										-dbc='{ "host": "localhost", "db": "mydbname", "port": 27017, "username": "myuser", "password": "mypwd"}'
	-cfg, --config <filename>		DB config file name
	--dbn, --dbPropName <string>	Property name for the database connection in the config file. The configuration file should
									contain something like
										{
											appDb : { //appDb would be the dbPropName
												host: 'localhost',
												db: 'mydbname',
												//port: '27017' //include a port if necessary
											}
										}

Commands:
	down [revision]		migrate down (stop at optional revision name/number)
	up [revision]		migrate up (stop at optional revision name/number)
	create [title]		create a new migration file with optional [title]

##Command-line usage NPM will install mongodb-migrate into a node_modules folder within the directory it is run. To use mongodb-migrate from the command line, you must always specify the relative path from your current directory to the mongodb-migrate directory for node to be able to find it. Such as: node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm create (shown in examples below), or on *nix machines node ./node_modules/mongodb-migrate -runmm create.

##Creating Migrations To create a migration execute with node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm create and optionally a title. mongodb-migrate will create a node module within ./migrations/ which contains the following two exports:

var mongodb = require('mongodb');

exports.up = function (db, next) {
	next();
};

exports.down = function (db, next) {
	next();
};

All you have to do is populate these, invoking next() when complete, and you are ready to migrate! If you detect an error during the exports.up or exports.down pass next(err) and the migration will attempt to revert the opposite direction. If you're migrating up and error, it'll try to do that migration down.

For example:

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm create add-pets
	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm create add-owners

The first call creates ./migrations/0005-add-pets.js, which we can populate:

exports.up = function (db, next) {
	var pets = mongodb.Collection(db, 'pets');
	pets.insert({name: 'tobi'}, next);
};

exports.down = function (db, next) {
	var pets = mongodb.Collection(db, 'pets');
	pets.findAndModify({name: 'tobi'}, [], {}, { remove: true }, next);
};

The second creates ./migrations/0010-add-owners.js, which we can populate:

	exports.up = function(db, next){
		var owners = mongodb.Collection(db, 'owners');
		owners.insert({name: 'taylor'}, next);
    };

	exports.down = function(db, next){
		var owners = mongodb.Collection(db, 'owners');
		pets.findAndModify({name: 'taylor'}, [], {}, { remove: true }, next);
	};

Note, for mongodb 2.x you need to use db.collection('<collection-name>') instead of mongodb.Collection(db, '<collection-name>').

Running Migrations

When first running the migrations, all will be executed in sequence.

	node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm
	up : migrations/0005-add-pets.js
	up : migrations/0010-add-owners.js
	migration : complete

Subsequent attempts will simply output "complete", as they have already been executed on the given database. mongodb-migrate knows this because it stores migrations already run against the database in the migrations collection.

	$ node mongodb-migrate -runmm
	migration : complete

If we were to create another migration using node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm create coolest-owner, and then execute migrations again, we would execute only those not previously executed:

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm
	up : migrations/0015-coolest-owner

If we were to then migrate using node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm down 5. This means to run from current revision, which in this case would be 0015-coolecst-owner, down to revision number 5. Note that you can use either the revision number, or then full revision name 0005-add-pets

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm down 5
	down : migrations/0015-coolest-owner
	down : migrations/0010-add-owners

Configuration

JSON String

This option allows you to pass in the database configuration on the command line, eliminating the need to store settings in a config file. The argument should be wrapped in single quotes, and all keys and string values must be in double quotes. Using this option overrides any of the other config options described below. The "port", "username", and "password" properties are optional.

$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm -dbc '{ "host":"localhost","db":"mydbname","port":27017,"username":"myuser","password":"mypwd"}' up
migration : complete

Working Directory

The options for connecting to the database are read in from a file. You can configure where the file is read in from and where the migration directory root is by the -c <path> option.

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm -c ../.. up
	migration : complete

This would set the working directory two levels above the mongodb-migrate directory, such as if you included it into another project and it was nested in the node_modules folder.

Config filename

The default configuration filename is default-config.json. If you wish to use a different filename, use the -cfg <filename> option:

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm -cfg my-config.json up
	migration : complete

Config file property name

Inside the configuration file, mongodb-migrate expects the database connection information to be nested inside an object. The default object name is mongoAppDb. If you wish to change this you can use the -dbn <string> option:

	$ node .\node_modules\mongodb-migrate -runmm -dbn dbSettings up
	migration : complete

This would tell mongodb-migrate your config file looks something like:

	{
		dbSettings: {
			host: 'localhost',
			db: 'myDatabaseName',
			//port: 27017 //Specifying a port is optional
		}
	}

To connect to a replica set, use the replicaSet property:

	{
		dbSettings: {
			replicaSet : ["localhost:27017","localhost:27018","localhost:27019"],
			db: 'myDatabaseName',
		}
	}

All of these settings can be combined as desired, except for the up/down obviously ;)
