[Install] [Usage] [🎭 Facades] [Notes]

Just changed something on the admin panel or on the database and now you need to replicate it again in all project environments, including other dev machines?

Magento supports data patches out of the box, but writing them can get verbose and repetitive quickly. This module greatly simplifies such process.

From 50 lines to just 15, or simply 70% less code. SEVENTY percent fewer lines. But we're just getting started.

📥 Install

composer require discorgento/module-migrations

Note

This module is compatible with Magento 2.4.6 onward, from PHP 8.1 to 8.4.

🛠️ Usage

Demo

There's also an extended version in Brazilian Portuguese including CMS content management overview available here.

Basic Usage

• in the module you're developing, create a php class under its Setup/Patch/Data/ dir;
• make it extend Discorgento\Migrations\Setup\Migration;
• put your logic inside the execute(), and run bin/magento setup:upgrade.

Sample data patch:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Vendor\Module\Setup\Patch\Data;

use Discorgento\Migrations\Setup\Migration;

class CmsPageMyNewPage extends Migration
{
    public function __construct(
        Migration\Context $context
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    protected function execute()
    {
        // your database changes logic goes here
    }
}

Then run:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

That's it, you successfully ensured that your database changes got tracked in all enviroments.

Facades

Besides simplifying the basic data patch structure, this module also provides helpers for common Magento patch tasks, such as admin config, CMS content, and EAV attributes. Use these when your patch needs to create or update Magento data without writing the same low-level setup code every time.

See FACADES.md for more details, shared helper methods, and the full helper reference.
