Topic: How to Automatically Generate Migration Scripts on Schema Changes in MongoDB?
Expected behavior hen schema changes are made in a MongoDB (e.g., via Mongoose), I want to automatically detect them and generate migration scripts (similar to how it's done in relational ORMs like TypeORM). Actual behavior Currently, MongoDB doesn't provide native support for detecting schema changes or generating migration scripts. All migrations are manual, which makes tracking changes across environments difficult. Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) 1. Modify a Mongoose schema 2. Expect a tool to detect and suggest a migration 3. Nothing happens (manual migration writing still needed)
Thank you for your message!
Automatic detection of schema changes isn't natively supported in MongoDB or Mongoose, and this falls outside the scope of our standard support. However, we recommend looking into migrate-mongo – it’s a popular tool for managing MongoDB migrations in a structured way.
