Description

This pull request implements a comprehensive, generic database migration system for MongoDB. This system automates schema evolution on application startup, ensuring data consistency and providing clear traceability by linking each migration to its originating GitHub Pull Request. The initial migration demonstrates this capability by refactoring the ad configuration within RemoteConfig documents to a more flexible, role-based structure.

Type of Change

  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • 🛠️ Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • ❌ Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • 🧹 Code refactor
  • ✅ Build configuration change
  • 📝 Documentation
  • 🗑️ Chore

Summary of Changes

Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a comprehensive, generic database migration system for MongoDB. This system automates schema evolution on application startup, ensuring data consistency and providing clear traceability by linking each migration to its originating GitHub Pull Request. The initial migration demonstrates this capability by refactoring the ad configuration within RemoteConfig documents to a more flexible, role-based structure.

Highlights

  • Generic Database Migration System: Introduced a new, robust, and versioned database migration system for MongoDB that automatically applies schema changes on application startup.
  • PR-Driven Versioning and Traceability: Migrations are identified by their Pull Request merge date (prDate), a concise prSummary, and a direct prId (GitHub PR ID) for chronological execution and full traceability.
  • Ad Configuration Refactor Migration: The first concrete migration (20250924084800__refactor_ad_config_to_role_based.dart) refactors the adConfig structure within RemoteConfig documents to a new role-based visibleTo map approach, enhancing flexibility and maintainability.
  • Idempotent Migrations: Each migration is designed to be idempotent, ensuring safe execution multiple times without errors or data inconsistencies.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a well-designed and robust database migration system. The implementation is clean, follows best practices like idempotency, and is nicely integrated into the application's startup sequence. The use of PR metadata for versioning is a clever approach for traceability. I have a few suggestions to further improve maintainability and robustness, but overall, this is an excellent addition to the project.

- Remove comment_references lint ignore
- Update migration documentation to use prDate and prSummary instead of version and description
- Create a copy of _migrations list before sorting
- Ensures chronological application of migrations based on prDate
