Migrations

How do I write a migration file?

See here

As a template, take one of the existing migration files and modify it, or use the below code snippet:

package migrations

import (
    "context"

    "github.com/uptrace/bun"
)

func init() {
    up := func(ctx context.Context, db *bun.DB) error {
        return db.RunInTx(ctx, nil, func(ctx context.Context, tx bun.Tx) error {
            // your logic here
            return nil
        })
    }

    down := func(ctx context.Context, db *bun.DB) error {
        return db.RunInTx(ctx, nil, func(ctx context.Context, tx bun.Tx) error {
            // your logic here
            return nil
        })
    }

    if err := Migrations.Register(up, down); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

File format

Bun requires a very specific format: 14 digits, then letters or underscores.

You can use the following bash command on your branch to generate a suitable migration filename.

echo "$(date --utc +%Y%m%d%H%M%S | head -c 14)_$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD).go"

Rules of thumb

1. DON'T DROP TABLES!!!!!!!!
2. Don't make something NOT NULL if it's likely to already contain null fields.
