Galaxy migrations

What is Galaxy migrations

Galaxy migrations is a lightweight migration library in Node.js for NoSQL Document database. It is originally created to provide field update in Azure Cosmos DB since this is not natively supported. This is where the name Galaxy comes from.

Requirements

Galaxy migrations requires Node.js in version 8 and up

Installation

npm install --save-dev @srascar/galaxy-migrations

Usage

npx galaxy-migration -h

Documentation

Before you start, you will have to create a configuration file.

By default, the command will look for a file called migrations_config.yml at the root of your project. But you can use the --config-file option to specify your own.

Here is an example of config.

migrations_dir: migrations
database:
    connector: azure_cosmos_db
    endpoint: https://localhost.cosmosdb:443/
    primary_key: abcd
    name: my_database
    container: my_container

Note: Only azure_cosmos_db connector is supported for now.

Usage

Create a migration

npx galaxy-migrations generate

This will create a new file in you migration directory. Edit this file and change it to you needs.

// migrations/migration20190712120924.js
...
    checkQueryUp: 'SELECT VALUE count(1) FROM Families f WHERE NOT is_defined(f._migrationVersion),
    queryUp: {
      query: "SELECT * FROM Families f WHERE  f.lastName = @lastName",
      parameters: [
        {
          name: "@lastName",
          value: "Andersen"
        }
      ]
    },
    up: (itemBody) => ({ ...itemBody, transformed: true }),
...
    documentMeta: { idField: 'id', partitionKey: 'id' },

We will only focus on the query up for this example.

Execute a migration

Migrate up

npx galaxy-migrations execute 20190712120924

Migrate down (eg: rollback)

npx galaxy-migrations execute 20190712120924 -w down

Dry run

npx galaxy-migrations execute 20190712120924 -w up -d

Execute all migrations in the directory (based on the config)

npx galaxy-migrations migrate

Options are the same as execute

Known issues

Some options are only displayed for the parent command

For the list of options that you can apply on all commands, use

npx galaxy-migrations -h

Update a document when your container doesn't have partition key

If your container was created before the implementation of partition key, it is now assigned a default partition key with the path /_partitionKey. See Azure/azure-cosmos-js#261

In order to update a document from this container, in your callback, attach a new property _partitionKey to your items with the value undefined

// migrationXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.js

...

up: itemBody => ({ ...itemBody, _partitionKey: undefined })

...
// Don't forget to specify the DEFAULT_PARTITION_KEY_PATH in the document meta
documentMeta: { idField: 'id', partitionKey: '_partitionKey' },
