How to properly handle mongoose schema migrations?

I\'m used to running migration

Answer 1

If you're used to SQL type migrations or Rails-like migrations then you'll find my cli tool migrate-mongoose the right fit for you.

It allows you to write migrations with an up and a down function and manages the state for you based on success and failure of your migrations.

It also supports ES6 if you're using ES 2015 syntax.

You get access to your mongoose models via the this object, making it easy to make the changes you need to your models and schemas.
