NEW MAINTAINER - active fork, new repo name, & plans

[matmar10]

What

Hello all (to anyone still actively using sequelize-auto-migrations). To all who have contributed PRs over the years - THANK YOU! Your PR is not in vain. Hence, we've created a fork that we're actively maintaining.

It's available here:
https://github.com/matmar10/sequelize-lazy-migrations

The new npm name is sequelize-lazy-migrations and you can install it via that name:

npm install --save-dev sequelize-lazy-migrations

Plans

• Add a baseline unit test coverage
• Merge as many PR contributions as possible (anything without breaking changes will be considered)
• Fix high priority bugs (e.g. phantom migrations being generated due to validations)

Why?

My company is still actively utilizing and relying on this library. Requests to add contributors have gone unanswered. Hence this was the best course of action.

@matmar10 did you check this fork: https://github.com/Scimonster/sequelize-auto-migrations?

FYI this other fork has some other features that your fork does not have.

[matmar10]

Thanks @bigLucas! Are you using the features in that fork? We could merge them in at sequelize-lazy-migrations if so.

[bigLucas]

I'm trying to use the features for the first time because I'm kind of new to Sequelize (I was a TypeORM boy and now I'm trying to use sequelize in a new project at work).

I found that fork through this StackOverflow answer which has some PR links about why the owner of the fork has created it.

So I guess it could be useful for your purpose to know this other fork, and in my case perhaps I might go back to TypeORM.
