v0.6 moves the database backends into the core openworkflow package. This simplifies installation, reduces dependency management, and makes imports cleaner. Here’s everything you need to know to upgrade.

​
Step-by-Step Migration

​
1. Update Your Imports

Find and replace the old import paths: 
// openworkflow.config.ts
- import { BackendPostgres } from "@openworkflow/backend-postgres";
+ import { BackendPostgres } from "openworkflow/postgres";

// openworkflow/client.ts
- import { BackendSqlite } from "@openworkflow/backend-sqlite";
+ import { BackendSqlite } from "openworkflow/sqlite";

​
2. Update Your Dependencies

Remove the legacy packages: 
npm uninstall @openworkflow/backend-postgres @openworkflow/backend-sqlite
If you’re using PostgreSQL, install the postgres driver directly: 
npm install postgres
Your package.json should now look like: 
{
  "dependencies": {
    "openworkflow": "^0.6.0",
    "postgres": "^3.4.8" // Only if using PostgreSQL
  }
}

​
3. That’s It

No other changes needed. The backend API is identical.

​
Verify the Upgrade

Run the doctor command after upgrading: 
npx @openworkflow/cli doctor
You should see Configuration looks good!.

​
New Projects

If you’re starting fresh, just run: 
npx @openworkflow/cli init
The CLI now generates code with the new import paths automatically.
