Data Migrations

A simple prototype showing a couple ways to do migrations using Fluent Migrations and Evolve.

Getting Started Fluent Migrations

• docker-compose up
• Start the api project using your favorite method (Visual Studio F5, VS Code)
• Celebrate 🎉🎉

Getting Started Evolve

• docker-compose-up
• Use NPM scripts
  • migrate-db: run migrations using the evolve CLI
  • migrate-info: migration info using the evolve CLI
  • migrate-db-dotnet: run migrations using the evolve .NET tool
  • migrate-info-dotnet: migration info using the evolve .NET tool
• To use the .NET tool
  • dotnet tool install --global Evolve.Tool
• Or alternatively you can run the scripts using the .NET Core Generic Host project (\evolve\EvolveMigrations.csproj)
• Move scripts from the migrations_to_be_moved folder to migrations to try out different migrations
• Learn more about Evolve

What happened?

If everything worked you should now be able to view your sql server instance running in docker at localhost:1402 and there should be multiple databases and tables created. Check out the migrations folder of the Data.FluentMigrations project to check it out.

All of this is done in-process in our application. But it can also be done in a CI/CD process using a CLI or the dotnet fm package. See the migration runners for more info.
