NodeJS lacks support for good proper ORMs, and most ORMs tend to suck a bit in the end anyway. For inventid I therefore developed this simple nodejs version for postgresql of Liquibase. It is based on the excellent node-postgres library.

pg-migration will automatically create the table (dbchangelog) for you.

1. Import the library import migrateAndStart from 'pg-migration';
2. Create a valid database client connection
3. Create the migration, with that client, and a callback to the server start (e.g. migrateAndStart(db, './migrations', startServer);)

Files called README.md and dbchangelog.sql from the migrations folder are ignored.

Since the changeset id is derived from the file name, you can use the following command to create a new one

touch `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.sql

Please be careful that the files will be executed in a alphabetically sorted fashion, so ensure that files do not depend on anything later (it's really a poor mans Liquibase).
