Database Management

1.1. Migrations and Seeders

• Migrations: Define and manage your database schema changes over time. Migrations allow you to version control your database schema and easily apply updates.
  • Creating Migrations: Use the command adonis make:migration migration_name to create a new migration file. Define schema changes in the generated file and run adonis migration:run to apply them.
• Seeders: Populate your database with sample data using seeders. This is especially useful for development and testing.
  • Creating Seeders: Generate seeders with adonis make:seeder seeder_name and use the dbSeeder to populate data.

1.2. Query Builder

• Fluent Interface: AdonisJS provides a powerful query builder that supports complex queries and chaining methods for easy and readable database operations.
• Advanced Queries: Use methods like whereIn, join, and groupBy for more complex queries.
