# Migrations
## Tasks
Ash comes with its own tasks, and AshPostgres exposes lower level tasks that you can use if necessary. This guide shows the process using `ash.*` tasks, and the `ash_postgres.*` tasks are illustrated at the bottom.
## Basic Workflow
- Make resource changes
- Run `mix ash.codegen --name add_a_combobulator` to generate migrations and resource snapshots
- Run `mix ash.migrate` to run those migrations
For more information on generating migrations, run `mix help ash_postgres.generate_migrations` (the underlying task that is called by `mix ash.migrate`)
> ### list_tenants/0 {: .info}
>
> If you have are using schema-based multitenancy, you will also need to define a `list_tenants/0` function in your repo module. See `AshPostgres.Repo` for more.
### Regenerating Migrations
Often, you will run into a situation where you want to make a slight change to a resource after you've already generated and run migrations. If you are using git and would like to undo those changes, then regenerate the migrations, this script may prove useful:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Get count of untracked migrations
N_MIGRATIONS=$(git ls-files --others priv/repo/migrations | wc -l)
# Rollback untracked migrations
mix ash_postgres.rollback -n $N_MIGRATIONS
# Delete untracked migrations and snapshots
git ls-files --others priv/repo/migrations | xargs rm
git ls-files --others priv/resource_snapshots | xargs rm
# Regenerate migrations
mix ash.codegen --name $1
# Run migrations if flag
if echo $* | grep -e "-m" -q
then
mix ash.migrate
fi
```
After saving this file to something like `regen.sh`, make it executable with `chmod +x regen.sh`. Now you can run it with `./regen.sh name_of_operation`. If you would like the migrations to automatically run after regeneration, add the `-m` flag: `./regen.sh name_of_operation -m`.
## Running Migrations in Production
Define a module similar to the following:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Release do
@moduledoc """
Tasks that need to be executed in the released application (because mix is not present in releases).
"""
@app :my_app
def migrate do
load_app()
for repo <- repos() do
{:ok, _, _} = Ecto.Migrator.with_repo(repo, &Ecto.Migrator.run(&1, :up, all: true))
end
end
# only needed if you are using postgres multitenancy
def migrate_tenants do
load_app()
for repo <- repos() do
path = Ecto.Migrator.migrations_path(repo, "tenant_migrations")
# This may be different for you if you are not using the default tenant migrations
{:ok, _, _} =
Ecto.Migrator.with_repo(
repo,
fn repo ->
for tenant <- repo.all_tenants() do
Ecto.Migrator.run(repo, path, :up, all: true, prefix: tenant)
end
end
)
end
end
# only needed if you are using postgres multitenancy
def migrate_all do
load_app()
migrate()
migrate_tenants()
end
def rollback(repo, version) do
load_app()
{:ok, _, _} = Ecto.Migrator.with_repo(repo, &Ecto.Migrator.run(&1, :down, to: version))
end
# only needed if you are using postgres multitenancy
def rollback_tenants(repo, version) do
load_app()
path = Ecto.Migrator.migrations_path(repo, "tenant_migrations")
# This may be different for you if you are not using the default tenant migrations
for tenant <- repo.all_tenants() do
{:ok, _, _} =
Ecto.Migrator.with_repo(
repo,
&Ecto.Migrator.run(&1, path, :down,
to: version,
prefix: tenant
)
)
end
end
defp repos do
domains()
|> Enum.flat_map(fn domain ->
domain
|> Ash.Domain.Info.resources()
|> Enum.map(&AshPostgres.DataLayer.Info.repo/1)
|> Enum.reject(&is_nil/1)
end)
|> Enum.uniq()
end
defp domains do
Application.fetch_env!(@app, :ash_domains)
end
defp load_app do
Application.load(@app)
end
end
```
### AshPostgres-specific mix tasks
- `mix ash_postgres.generate_migrations`
- `mix ash_postgres.create`
- `mix ash_postgres.drop`
- `mix ash_postgres.migrate` (use `mix ash_postgres.migrate --tenants` to run tenant migrations)
- `mix ash_postgres.rollback` (use `mix ash_postgres.rollback --tenants` to rollback tenant migrations)
