This article is to enable auto migration in GoLang with integration with GORM in up-down approach.

...

1. At first, create migration CLI

   Code Block
   language go
   $ go get -u -d github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/cmd/migrate $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/cmd/migrate $ git checkout $TAG  # e.g. v4.8.0  $ go build -tags 'postgres' -ldflags="-X main.Version=$(git describe --tags)

2. Navigate to your migrate project and find out migrate.exe file. 

3. Copy migrate.exe.

4. Paste it into $GOPATH/bin folder.

5. Your migration CLI is ready to use. N.B: [find out the latest version of migrate cmd and replace it]

6. Read more about CLI.

1. migrate command will create a db/migrations folder with to sql (up/down) file.

2. Edit up file. for example-

   • Code Block
     language sql
     CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users(    user_id serial PRIMARY KEY,    username VARCHAR (50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,    password VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,    email VARCHAR (300) UNIQUE NOT NULL );

3. Edit down file. for example-

   • DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;

4. Now let install golang-migrate.

   1. $ go get github.com/golang-migrate/migrate

5. Configure migration with GORM.

   • Code Block
     language go
     db, err := gorm.Open("postgres", config.ConnectionString)     driver, err := postgres.WithInstance(db.DB(), &postgres.Config{})     m, err := migrate.NewWithDatabaseInstance(         "file://db/migrations",         "postgres", driver)     m.Steps(2)

6. Use command line to run migration

   • If you prefer a command-line tool over configured code then it’s for you!

   • Remove GORM configuration. (If any)

     Code Block
     language go
     db, err := gorm.Open("postgres", config.ConnectionString)    // driver, err := postgres.WithInstance(db.DB(), &postgres.Config{})   //  m, err := migrate.NewWithDatabaseInstance(    //     "file://db/migrations",     //    "postgres", driver)   //  m.Steps(2)

   • Run migration script. i.e:

     Code Block
     language go
     migrate -source file://{migration file path} -database postgres://{user name}:{password}@{db location}/{db name}?sslmode=disable up

   • For example:

     Code Block
     migrate -source file://db/migrations -database postgres://postgres:648782@localhost:5432/zachai_auction?sslmode=disable up

   • use down for dropping

7. Happy Coding…
