Migrations

Migrations.EPiServer

This package allows you to create and run Entity Framework like migrations. All you need to do is implement Forte.Migrations.IMigration interface and mark your class with Forte.Migrations.MigrationAttribute

[Migration("4201F11D-3939-44C2-853E-F918739628C8")]
public class MigrationExample : IMigration
{
    private readonly IContentRepository _contentRepository;

    public MigrationExample(IContentRepository contentRepository)
    {
        _contentRepository = contentRepository;
    }

    public async Task ExecuteAsync()
    {
        //move content from old, deprecated field to a new one
        var articles = _contentRepository.GetChildren<Article>(ContentReference.StartPage)

        foreach (var article in articles)
        {
            var articleClone = article.CreateWritableClone() as Article;
            articleClone.NewField = article.OldField;
            _contentRepository.Save(articleClone, AccessLevel.Publish);
        }
    }
}

Disable default initialization

By default, when you install this nuget package it will be initialized with default settings, i.e. it will be run as Administrator etc. (see MigrationsModule). If you want to setup an initialization module by your own you can disable default one by adding fMigrationsDisableInit flag with value of true to your AppSettings
