g-migration

library2.2.0jsnpmunverified

A minimal CLI tool to generate timestamped database migration files for Node.js projects. Version 2.2.0 is the latest stable release, with infrequent updates and no major release cadence. It creates skeleton migration files with a timestamp prefix, intended for use with raw SQL or custom database adapters. Unlike full-featured migration frameworks (e.g., Knex or Sequelize), g-migration is intentionally simple: it only generates file names and basic boilerplate, leaving migration logic entirely to the user. No database driver or ORM is required.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

main (binary)

✓ ./node_modules/.bin/g_migration create_table_users

✗ npm install -g g-migration && g-migration create_table_users

This is a CLI tool, not a library. Use locally via npm scripts.

Programmatic usage (if any)

✓ Not applicable; the package provides only a CLI binary.

✗ const migration = require('g-migration')

There is no exported JavaScript API. Do not attempt to require it.

npm script configuration

✓ "g:migration": "./node_modules/.bin/g_migration"

✗ "g:migration": "g_migration"

Using the unqualified command may fail if the binary is not in PATH.

Install the CLI, create migrations directory, and generate a timestamped migration file.

// package.json { "scripts": { "g:migration": "./node_modules/.bin/g_migration" } } // Terminal commands: npm install g-migration --save-dev mkdir -p ./db/migrations npm run g:migration create_table_users // This will generate a file like: ./db/migrations/20250321123456_create_table_users.js // with a basic template.
