Umzug v3 — Claude Skill (Sequelize v7 Adapted)

Key Concepts

• Umzug is not an ORM — it orchestrates running/reverting migration functions and tracking which have been executed
• The context option passes any value to every migration's up/down — for Sequelize, use sequelize.getQueryInterface()
• SequelizeStorage tracks executed migrations in a database table (SequelizeMeta by default)
• Migrations are discovered via glob patterns or provided as an inline array
• Built-in CLI via umzug.runAsCLI() — supports up, down, pending, executed, create
• Import from 'umzug': Umzug, SequelizeStorage, JSONStorage, MongoDBStorage, memoryStorage, MigrationError

Sequelize v7 Specifics

• Import Sequelize from @sequelize/core (not sequelize)
• Import dialect classes: PostgresDialect, SqliteDialect, MysqlDialect, etc.
• DataTypes from @sequelize/core for migration column definitions
• Sequelize v7 constructor takes a single options object (no URL string as first arg)
• CLS transactions enabled by default — use sequelize.transaction() for managed, sequelize.startUnmanagedTransaction() for unmanaged
• dialectOptions removed — settings go in top-level options

Quick Reference — Common Patterns

Migrator Entry Point (TypeScript + Sequelize v7)

import { Sequelize } from '@sequelize/core';
import { PostgresDialect } from '@sequelize/postgres';
import { Umzug, SequelizeStorage } from 'umzug';

const sequelize = new Sequelize({
  dialect: PostgresDialect,
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  database: 'mydb',
  user: 'user',
  password: 'pass',
});

const umzug = new Umzug({
  migrations: { glob: 'migrations/*.ts' },
  context: sequelize.getQueryInterface(),
  storage: new SequelizeStorage({ sequelize }),
  logger: console,
});

export type Migration = typeof umzug._types.migration;

if (require.main === module) {
  umzug.runAsCLI();
}

Migration File

import type { Migration } from '../migrator';
import { DataTypes } from '@sequelize/core';

export const up: Migration = async ({ context: queryInterface }) => {
  await queryInterface.createTable('users', {
    id: { type: DataTypes.INTEGER, primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true },
    name: { type: DataTypes.STRING, allowNull: false },
    createdAt: { type: DataTypes.DATE, allowNull: false },
    updatedAt: { type: DataTypes.DATE, allowNull: false },
  });
};

export const down: Migration = async ({ context: queryInterface }) => {
  await queryInterface.dropTable('users');
};

Run Migrations

await umzug.up();                           // all pending
await umzug.up({ step: 2 });               // next 2
await umzug.up({ to: 'migration-name' });   // up to specific
await umzug.down();                          // revert last
await umzug.down({ to: 0 });               // revert all

CLI Usage

npx tsx migrator.ts up
npx tsx migrator.ts down
npx tsx migrator.ts pending
npx tsx migrator.ts create --name create-posts.ts --folder migrations
