Postgres Database

This page describes how to interact with the Postgres database

When developing on the API locally, you'll ofter have to make change to the database. This page describes how to achieve that.

Create a migration

This will create a file in migrations/ where you'll be able to put your migration and rollback procedures.

# The name of the migration should use snake case
npm run db:migration:create -- --name name-of-your-migration

Run migrations

This will run all the migrations in migrations/

npm run db:migrate

Rollback last migration

npm run db:migrate:undo
