🎉 Auto-Migration Setup Summary

Setup Complete!

Your development environment now automatically runs all migrations when you start the server.


📋 What Changed

1. New Migration Created

src/migrations/20251105-add-skip-fields-to-approval-levels.ts

Adds "Skip Approver" functionality to approval_levels table:

  • is_skipped - Boolean flag
  • skipped_at - Timestamp
  • skipped_by - User reference (FK)
  • skip_reason - Text explanation
  • Optimized index for skipped approvers

2. 🔧 Migration Runner Updated

src/scripts/migrate.ts

Enhancements:

  • Added m14 migration import
  • Added m14 execution
  • Better console output with emojis
  • Enhanced error messages

3. 🚀 Auto-Run on Development Start

// package.json - "dev" script
"npm run migrate && nodemon --exec ts-node ..."

Before: Manual migration required
After: Automatic migration on npm run dev

4. 🗑️ Cleanup

❌ Deleted: src/migrations/add_is_skipped_to_approval_levels.sql

Converted SQL → TypeScript for consistency

5. 📚 Documentation Created

  • MIGRATION_WORKFLOW.md - Complete guide
  • MIGRATION_QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Quick reference
  • AUTO_MIGRATION_SETUP_COMPLETE.md - Detailed setup docs
  • SETUP_SUMMARY.md - This file
