How to run an alter migration?

[arferreira]

Hello folks,
I was trying to add a field on the user model. Is there a command to run a migration to alter a table?

Thanks,

Hi,
If you just started out, you can change the User migration, and re-create the database.
For projects where you cannot recreate database, you can create a new migration, and then use schema mutation:

@arferreira there is now a built-in way to do this, as well as docs https://loco.rs/docs/the-app/migration/

@jondot that's awesome. How could I update my current loco app to get an updated version?
