yarn db:generate

yarn db:generate executes tsx scripts/mikro-modules.ts generate, iterating through every enabled module and creating MikroORM migrations when entity metadata changes.

Usage

yarn db:generate

The script requires a valid DATABASE_URL pointing to the Postgres database used for diffing.

What Happens

1. Loads enabled modules via scripts/shared/modules-config.ts.
2. For each module, resolves entity definitions (data/entities.ts or schema.ts) and spins up a temporary MikroORM instance.
3. Writes migrations into packages/<module>/src/modules/<module>/migrations. App overrides fall back to src/modules/<module>/migrations.
4. Renames generated files and migration classes to include the module suffix (e.g. _auth) to keep names unique across modules.
5. Prints a summary such as auth: generated Migration20240214_auth or directory: no changes.

Typical Workflow

• Run yarn db:generate after modifying entity definitions.
• Inspect the generated TypeScript migration and adjust it if necessary.
• Commit the migration alongside your entity changes.
• Apply migrations with yarn db:migrate or npm run db:migrate.

Troubleshooting

• Missing DATABASE_URL — set it in your shell or .env before running the command.
• No changes detected — ensure you saved the entity file and that MikroORM metadata can resolve it from the module registry.
• Permission errors writing migrations — confirm the module directory is writable (especially when working inside app overlays or read-only package installs).
