After my work yesterday I sat down and worked out how to create a proper grunt plugin. Once I realised that a node module is purely a node application with a package.json this proved to be really simple. One thing that is really great is learning the npm is not just for pulling down packages from the repository but is also great for local development.
I also borrowed quite a bit from (grunt-shell)[https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-shell] to work out the best way to call the child process to run liquibase.
You can find my new grunt plugin here: grunt-liquibase
Usage is pretty straightforward:
npm install grunt-liquibase --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-liquibase');
And add a section named liquibase to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
liquibase : {
update: {
options: {
username : 'DB_USERNAME',
password : 'DB_PASSWORD',
url : 'jdbc:postgresql://DB_HOST:DB_PORT/DB_NAME'
},
command: 'update'
},
version : {
command: 'version'
}
},
});
You can now run grunt liquibase:update and your database will be updated!
Full detail of the plugin can be found here: grunt-liquibase or at the git project page here.

Grunt and Liquibase - Exploring node.js and its associated tools, I've been intrigued by Grunt, dubbed as 'The JavaScript Task Runner'. Amid building a project, I wanted to integrate Liquibase - a useful database schema management tool we used in developing Vollow.me. Despite the lack of a Grunt plugin or a Node module for Liquibase, I've managed to get it operational with Grunt using grunt-shell. The next step is to package Liquibase into a formal Grunt task and streamline database settings loading.

Live GPIO Viewer - In my latest discovery, I found an incredibly efficient visualization tool from the last outpost workshop that upgrades how I check the status of the GPIO pins on my ESP32. It's super simple to use and allows me to monitor pin activities directly. I set up a couple of LEDs and a button on various GPIO pins to demonstrate its effectiveness and the results were fantastic. Although it currently supports only digital input and output and PWM, I'm optimistic it will expand with time. Thanks to the open-source community, you can find the setup instructions in a GitHub repo. This tool is a revelation and I highly recommend it.
