Installation

npm -g install prego

Global installation is needed to use pmigrate, migration command line tool. If you prefer to use programmatic migrations interface, you can install it locally only.

Configuration

Easiest way is to have configuration file in you project's root directory. Currently, prego looks for ./config(.js|.coffee), imports it and checks exports.dbConnectionString where should be connection string suitable for the pg module, such as

exports.dbConnectionString = "postgres://user:passw@localhost:5432/mydbname"

Config module could do whatever logic you need to calculate suitable connection string, say, depending on the deployment target, debug mode or whatever you like. This is the way pmigrate tool works.

Alternatively, you can initialize in the code:

prego = require '../lib/db'
prego.setConnectionString "postgres://localhost:5432/db_name"

but in this case pmigrate tool won't work. Issue request for altenative configuration if need.

Debug output

If you need to trace what SQL statements prego executes and some more debug output, enable it with

prego.enableSqlLog true

Or disable it by passing false.
