DataTasks

Adds a second migration phase to a Rails project for data migrations. Just like migrations, these can be run once and only once in each environment with a single command during every deployment.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'data_tasks'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install empty_gem

Usage

To generate a data migration, use the rails generator:

rails generate data_task MigrateSomeData

This will create:

db/data_tasks/20120822023011_migrate_some_data.rb

Run all pending data tasks with rake:

rake data:migrate
