README

Circle CI

Adds extra commands to wp-cli to do schema upgrades for Wordpress. It allows you to do DB upgrades on deploy, instead of having to do hacks like re-activating your plugin so it fires activation hooks again.

Also you don't have to worry about the PHP process timing out since it's executed in the CLI context and not the browser.

Usage

In your plugin, add a hook for the schema_upgrade action. It should behave similar to https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins. You should write it in a way where it can repeatedly run without harm. For example, if one of your plugins needs to create a new term:

add_action('schema_upgrade', function() {
  if(!term_exists('Category', 'segment')) {
    wp_insert_term('Category', 'segment');
  }
});

Add the schema upgrade to your deploy process

wp schema upgrade

When this runs, it will essentially call do_action('schema_upgrade').
