Gina

Gina is a tool to auto-generate and run migrations based on Sequelize ORM.

How to use it

$3

You can install this using:

``bash
npm install gina-sequelize
`

You'll need to install it globally so you can you the gina-cli

`bash
npm install -g gina-sequelize


make sure to install ts-node too:


npm install -g ts-node
`

$3

If this is the first time you are running Gina on your project you'll need to initialize it.

`bash
gina-cli init
`

This will generate a folder gina to your project.
Inside this folder you will find the file initializeModels.ts.
You will need to modify this file so that the initializeModels method inside it return a valid sequelize instance object that has all your models ALREADY loaded.

$3

Once you have the initializeModels configured you can upgrade your database using:

`bash
gina-cli upgrade
`

$3

Once you have the initializeModels configured you can generate auto migrations.
It'll compare your loaded models with the database that you are connected.
All differences should be listed on a new migration file that will be placed inside the folder gina/migrations.

`bash
gina-cli generate-migration "Creating user table"
`

Development

If you want to edit the cli and test it you can install it locally:

`bash
npm install -g .
