Hasura Pro Tips && Operations!

Hasura console records every schema changes and generate the migration queries as file. In this project,we have set it up to automatically update your database when being deployed on KintoHub and be able to easily run it locally on your machine to test. Migrations are branch friendly :)

You have the following files:

• config.yaml to configure your hasura cli tools
• docker-compose used to configure local postgres database and hasura instance for local testing and creating migrations.
• Dockerfile is used to build and deploy your migrations onto Kintohub.
• migrations folder has all changesets / migrations in it currently empty by default.

Before everything else

Install hasura cli tools here

To start a local server use docker-compose up -d

NOTE: If you changed your port in the docker-compose file, make sure to update/syc the config.yaml entrypoint.

Generate Migration Files

1. Run hasura console at project root
2. Files are generated with timestamp under ./migrations
3. Commit the files with git

Generate Data Migration Files

1. hasura migrate create [name_of_migration]
2. Paste the sql to .up.yaml
3. Make sure you append the "ON_CONFLICT" to the query. Otherwise you may need to handle the rollback situation manually (by generate delete queries)
4. Commit your files

   1. Run hasura migrate apply --down 1 to take down the last migration (or --down n if you have more than 1)
   2. Check the schema, it should be back to the original state
   3. If there is any errors, please check the *.down.yaml to fix the issues
   4. Run hasura migrate apply again
4. Commit the files

1. Run hasura migrate status to check your migration status
2. Run hasura migrate apply --version 1550925483858 --type down
