Exodus is a MongoDB data migration tool for the Deno runtime environment.
The following flags should be used before running any command:
deno run -A --unstable
Followed by the version of the cli.ts file:https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts
It will also run with the following flags
--unstable --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net
if you wish to be more
specific about permissions
deno run --unstable --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts
init
: Initializes a new Exodus migration project by generating a/migrations
directory and asetup.ts
file in the current working directory. Modify thesetup.ts
with your MongoDB database connection information. Exodus uses the settings in this file to connect to your database.
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts init
create
[commitMessage]
: Creates a new migration file in the/migrations
directory containing a template forfwd
andback
functionality
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts create commitMessage
Exodus uses deno_mongo drivers to interact with MongoDB, which has methods/commands similar to the mongoDB shell or node drivers. Use the passed in client
and db
objects to interact with the database.
- Refer to https://github.com/denodrivers/deno_mongo for built in methods. Most methods are listed in their readme and function the same as the node drivers/MongoDB shell methods. Deno_mongo driver is still in development though so not all methods from node drivers / shell are implemented. HOWEVER
- If you want to access MongoDB database commands directly then use
client.runCommand( '<databaseName>' , <databaseCommand> )
. Use this if the deno_mongo methods aren't enough and you need more actions. - e.g.
client.runCommand( 'Database1' , { ping: 1} )
You may choose to apply migrations incrementally or all at once using the fwd
or full
commands respectively. For every successful migration file a log
document will be created and stored in a 'migrationLog' collection within the
database. Avoid manually altering these log files if possible, as exodus uses
them to keep track of the current state of the migrations.
fwd
: Applies the next pending migration
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts fwd
full
: Applies all pending migrations
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts full
Rollingback changes is done incrementally. Successful rollbacks will delete the associated log file from the migrationLog collection.
back
: Rollback changes of last applied migration
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts back
You can display the current status of your migrations
log
: Displays a table of current migrations pending and migrations applied. This log data is retrieved from the migrationLog collections in your database.
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts log
Migrations will create an exodusLog.txt
locally (cwd) that will keep a
complete history of all migrations applied / rolled back. Unlike the
migrationLog documents this file is non-essential to exodus and can be removed
without affecting any features.
dbInit
: Initializes a new Exodus migration by generating a/database-migration
directory and asetupExtract.ts
andsetupApply.ts
file in the current working directory. Modify thesetupExtract.ts
with your MongoDB database connection information inorder to pull the data you would like to migrate. Modify thesetupApply.ts
with your second MongoDB database connection information in order to apply the data you would like to migrate. Exodus uses the settings in these files to connect to your database.
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts dbInit
extract
: Extracts the data of an existing MongoDB database and creates a directory with a corresponding name to the extracted database. Within said directory, adata
folder is generated populated by files containing the data of each collection in the extracted database.
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts extract
apply
: Applies the extracted data to the database specified in thesetupApply.ts
file. During application to the new database, apply removes the MongoDB given id from each document, however if the user would like to keep a custom id simply add the argument ofapply [ keepId ]
to do so.
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts apply
