Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the go-arangodb-migrator library.

Basic Example

The basic/ directory contains a simple example that:

1. Connects to an ArangoDB instance
2. Creates or uses an existing database
3. Runs migrations from JSON files

Running the Basic Example

1. Make sure you have ArangoDB running locally on the default port (8529)
2. Navigate to the basic example directory:

   cd examples/basic
   

3. Run the example:

   go run main.go
   

Example Migration

The basic example includes sample migration files that create a library management system:

• 000001_initial_schema.json - Creates books and authors collections with indexes and a graph
• 000002_add_locations_and_categories.json - Adds libraries with geo indexes and categories
• 000003_add_sample_data.json - Adds sample books, authors, and relationships

The example demonstrates:

• Document and edge collections
• Persistent and geo indexes
• Named graphs with multiple edge definitions
• Complex relationships between entities

Customizing Examples

To use these examples with your own ArangoDB instance:

1. Update the connection details in main.go
2. Modify the database name
3. Create your own migration files in the migrations/ directory
4. Run the example

Migration File Format

See the main README.md for detailed documentation on the migration file format and supported operations.
