# Flask-Alembic

Flask-Alembic is a [Flask][] extension that provides a configurable [Alembic][]
database migration environment. Supports [Flask-SQLAlchemy],
[Flask-SQLAlchemy-Lite], or plain [SQLAlchemy]. Supports Alembic's single and
multiple database templates.

## Basic Usage

You've created a Flask application and some models with Flask-SQLAlchemy. Now
start using Flask-Alembic:

```python
from flask_alembic import Alembic

# Intialize the extension
alembic = Alembic()
alembic.init_app(app)
```

Commands are added to the `flask` CLI:

```text
$ flask db --help
$ flask db revision "making changes"
$ flask db upgrade
```

You can also access Alembic's functionality from Python:

```python
with app.app_context():
# Auto-generate a migration
alembic.revision('making changes')

# Upgrade the database
alembic.upgrade()

# Access the internals
environment_context = alembic.env
```

## Differences from Alembic

- Configuration is taken from `Flask.config` instead of `alembic.ini` and
`env.py`.
- Engines and model/table metadata are taken from Flask-SQLAlchemy(-Lite) if
available, or can be configured manually.
- The migrations are stored directly in the `migrations` folder instead of the
`versions` folder.
- Provides the migration environment instead of `env.py` and exposes Alembic's
internal API objects.
- Differentiates between CLI commands and Python functions. The functions return
revision objects and don't print to stdout.
- Allows operating Alembic at any API level while the app is running, through
the exposed objects and functions.
- Adds a system for managing independent migration branches and makes it easier
to work with named branches.
- Does not (currently) support offline migrations. I don't plan to work on this
but am open to patches.
- Does not (currently) support async engines. I don't plan to work on this but
am open to patches.
