npmw-sql-migrate

An NPM wrapper for the Go-based sql-migrate database migration tool. Version 1.8.1 provides OS-agnostic native binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring Go installation. The package uses optional dependencies to download only the relevant binary for the target platform, keeping node_modules small. It supports all sql-migrate commands (up, down, status, new) via npx or global install. Key differentiators: zero Go dependencies, CI/CD friendly with tiny footprint, and automatic architecture detection. Updates follow sql-migrate releases, currently wrapping v1.6.0.
