You can install sqlite-shift via pip:

pip install sqlite-shift

• Automatic Dependency Tracking: Automatically track and manage migration dependencies based on the order of execution.
• Configuration Options: Customize migration paths, database connections, and other settings via a configuration file.
• CLI Support: Command-line interface for convenient migration management.
• Structured: A systematic and developer friendly way to write and maintain migrations.

SQLite-Shift utilizes a configuration file to manage settings such as database connection details and migration paths. To create a configuration file:

1. Create a new .ini configuration file in your project directory, below is a sample configuration.

    [test_db] # Database name  
    db_path = /path/to/test_db.sql # Database path
    migrations_path = /path/to/schema_migrations # The directory path where migration files are to be stored for this database.
   

   Refer to Configuration Structure on how to implement a migration file.

2. Generate a Migration Use the create_migration command from the SQLite-Shift CLI

   sqlite-shift create test_db --migration_name add_users_table
   

   Refer to Migration Structure on how to implement a migration file.

3. Apply a Migration

   sqlite-shift apply test_db
   

4. Revert a Migration

   sqlite-shift revert test_db
   

The configuration file in sqlite-shift allows developers to configure one or more databases and their details. Below is the structure of the configuration file and its available options:

[<database name>]
db_path = <path to the sqlite database>
migrations_path = <path to the migrations folder that holds all the migration files >

Note:

1. One or more databases can be configured and the same database name should be used while applying / reverting migrations.
2. Migrations folder should be named as schema_migrations.

1. Configuration with one database

   [orders_db]
   db_path = /src/db/orders.sql
   migrations_path = /src/schema_migrations
   

2. Configuration with two database

   [orders_db]
   db_path = /src/db/orders.sql
   migrations_path = /src/orders/schema_migrations
   
   [users_db]
   db_path = /src/db/users.sql
   migrations_path = /src/users/schema_migrations
   

• Migrations folder should always be named schema_migrations.
• To apply a migration, sqlite-shift uses the upgrade method defined in each migration file. When apply_all_migrations is called, S sqlite-shift iterates through all migration files in the specified directory and applies them in the correct order based on their dependencies.
• To revert a migration, sqlite-shift uses the downgrade method defined in each migration file. When revert_last_migration is called, sqlite-shift reverts the last applied migration by executing the downgrade method of the corresponding migration file.
• All migrations will be executed within a transaction

from sqlite_shift.core.base_migration import BaseMigration

class Migration(BaseMigration):  # All migration classes should extend "BaseMigration" class
    def upgrade(self, conn): # class method that will be used while applying a migration
        # Add 'users' table to the database schema
        conn.execute("""
            CREATE TABLE users (
                id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
                username TEXT NOT NULL,
                email TEXT NOT NULL
            );
        """)

    def downgrade(self, conn): # class method that will be used while revertinf a migration
        # Remove 'users' table from the database schema
        conn.execute("DROP TABLE users;")

The Migration Manager class in sqlite-shift provides a set of methods to manage database migrations.

from sqlite_shift import MigrationManager

# Initialize Migration Manager
manager = MigrationManager(db_name="example_db", config_file_path="migrations.ini")

Accepts the following parameters on initialisation

1. db_name: The database to be used
2. config_file_path: The path for the configuration file. By default, it tries to find the config file with the name migrations.ini in the project root directory.

manager.apply_all_migrations()  # Applies all unapplied migrations in the specified migrations directory to the database.
manager.revert_last_migration() # Reverts the last applied migration from the database.
