github.com/dynastymasra/migrate/v4@v4.11.0/database/neo4j/TUTORIAL.md (about) 1 ## Create migrations 2 Let's create nodes called `Users`: 3 ``` 4 migrate create -ext cypher -dir db/migrations -seq create_user_nodes 5 ``` 6 If there were no errors, we should have two files available under `db/migrations` folder: 7 - 000001_create_user_nodes.down.cypher 8 - 000001_create_user_nodes.up.cypher 9 10 Note the `cypher` extension that we provided. 11 12 In the `.up.cypher` file let's create the table: 13 ``` 14 CREATE (u1:User {name: "Peter"}) 15 CREATE (u2:User {name: "Paul"}) 16 CREATE (u3:User {name: "Mary"}) 17 ``` 18 And in the `.down.sql` let's delete it: 19 ``` 20 MATCH (u:User) WHERE u.name IN ["Peter", "Paul", "Mary"] DELETE u 21 ``` 22 Ideally your migrations should be idempotent. You can read more about idempotency in [getting started](GETTING_STARTED.md#create-migrations) 23 24 ## Run migrations 25 ``` 26 migrate -database ${NEO4J_URL} -path db/migrations up 27 ``` 28 Let's check if the table was created properly by running `bin/cypher-shell -u neo4j -p password`, then `neo4j> MATCH (u:User)` 29 The output you are supposed to see: 30 ``` 31 +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ 32 | u | 33 +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ 34 | (:User {name: "Peter") | 35 | (:User {name: "Paul") | 36 | (:User {name: "Mary") | 37 +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ 38 ``` 39 Great! Now let's check if running reverse migration also works: 40 ``` 41 migrate -database ${NEO4J_URL} -path db/migrations down 42 ``` 43 Make sure to check if your database changed as expected in this case as well. 44 45 ## Database transactions 46 47 To show database transactions usage, let's create another set of migrations by running: 48 ``` 49 migrate create -ext cypher -dir db/migrations -seq add_mood_to_users 50 ``` 51 Again, it should create for us two migrations files: 52 - 000002_add_mood_to_users.down.cypher 53 - 000002_add_mood_to_users.up.cypher 54 55 In Neo4j, when we want our queries to be done in a transaction, we need to wrap it with `:BEGIN` and `:COMMIT` commands. 56 Migration up: 57 ``` 58 :BEGIN 59 60 MATCH (u:User) 61 SET u.mood = "Cheery" 62 63 :COMMIT 64 ``` 65 Migration down: 66 ``` 67 :BEGIN 68 69 MATCH (u:User) 70 SET u.mood = null 71 72 :COMMIT 73 ``` 74 75 ## Optional: Run migrations within your Go app 76 Here is a very simple app running migrations for the above configuration: 77 ``` 78 import ( 79 "log" 80 81 "github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4" 82 _ "github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/database/neo4j" 83 _ "github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/source/file" 84 ) 85 86 func main() { 87 m, err := migrate.New( 88 "file://db/migrations", 89 "neo4j://neo4j:password@localhost:7687/") 90 if err != nil { 91 log.Fatal(err) 92 } 93 if err := m.Up(); err != nil { 94 log.Fatal(err) 95 } 96 } 97 ```
