Node.js and Liquibase
The Node Package Manager allows you to integrate Liquibase into apps designed with JavaScript and TypeScript. The packager acts as a library and it enables you to install pre-built packages that help you maintain your database easily and efficiently. Developers can integrate it in the current application instead of using the separate Java Liquibase CLI. This is a great tool for users who prefer a consistent tool set and don't necessarily want to work within Java in addition to working in JavaScript and TypeScript.
This method provides a smooth user experience between the NPM packager and the CLI tool. This is made possible by transpiling both an ES Module and a Common JS module in the dist code. The Node CLI of this package can be used with node-liquibase. All 'top level' Liquibase commands are implemented in this package. This is a complete listing of commands that have been implemented.
Note: Be sure to only import from the Liquibase module name when importing the modules to use them in a JavaScript or TypeScript file. This package name is required due to dependent projects.
The new package includes:
- Liquibase command documentation
- changeset command Parameter documentation
- changeset CLI Command API Parity
Implementation
- Install Liquibase with Node Package Manager
- Optional: node-liquibase Peer Dependency
- Using Liquibase with Node.js
