atlas-provider-django

Load Django models into an Atlas project.

Use-cases

1. Declarative migrations - use a Terraform-like atlas schema apply --env django to apply your Django schema to the database.
2. Automatic migration planning - use atlas migrate diff --env django to automatically plan a migration from the current database version to the Django schema.

Installation

Install Atlas for macOS or Linux by running:

curl -sSf https://atlasgo.sh | sh

See atlasgo.io for more installation options.

Install the provider by running:

pip install atlas-provider-django

Configuration

Add the provider to your Django project's INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    'atlas_provider_django',
    ...
]

In your project directory, create a new file named atlas.hcl with the following contents:

data "external_schema" "django" {
  program = [
    "python",
    "manage.py",
    "atlas-provider-django",
    "--dialect", "mysql" // mariadb | postgresql | sqlite | mssql
    // if you want to only load a subset of your app models, you can specify the apps by adding
    // "--apps", "app1", "app2", "app3"
  ]
}

env "django" {
  src = data.external_schema.django.url
  dev = "docker://mysql/8/dev"
  migration {
    dir = "file://migrations"
  }
  format {
    migrate {
      diff = "{{ sql . \"  \" }}"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Apply

You can use the atlas schema apply command to plan and apply a migration of your database to your current Django schema. This works by inspecting the target database and comparing it to the Django Apps models and creating a migration plan. Atlas will prompt you to confirm the migration plan before applying it to the database.

atlas schema apply --env django -u "mysql://root:password@localhost:3306/mydb"

Where the -u flag accepts the URL to the target database.

Diff

Atlas supports a versioned migrations workflow, where each change to the database is versioned and recorded in a migration file. You can use the atlas migrate diff command to automatically generate a migration file that will migrate the database from its latest revision to the current Django schema.

atlas migrate diff --env django

• MySQL
