MaintainX Upgrade & Migration

Current State

!npm list 2>/dev/null | head -20

Overview

Handle MaintainX API version upgrades, deprecations, and breaking changes with a safe, incremental migration strategy.

Prerequisites

• Existing MaintainX integration
• Test environment with separate API key
• Version control (git) for all integration code

Instructions

Step 1: Audit Current API Usage

// scripts/audit-api-usage.ts
// Scan your codebase for all MaintainX API calls

import { readFileSync, readdirSync, statSync } from 'fs';
import { join } from 'path';

function findApiCalls(dir: string): Array<{ file: string; line: number; endpoint: string }> {
  const results: Array<{ file: string; line: number; endpoint: string }> = [];

  function scan(d: string) {
    for (const entry of readdirSync(d)) {
      const full = join(d, entry);
      if (statSync(full).isDirectory()) {
        if (!entry.startsWith('.') && entry !== 'node_modules') scan(full);
      } else if (full.endsWith('.ts') || full.endsWith('.js')) {
        const content = readFileSync(full, 'utf-8');
        const lines = content.split('\n');
        for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
          // Match API endpoint patterns
          const match = lines[i].match(/['"`](\/(?:workorders|assets|locations|users|teams|parts|procedures|webhooks)[^'"`]*)/);
          if (match) {
            results.push({ file: full, line: i + 1, endpoint: match[1] });
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  scan(dir);
  return results;
}

const calls = findApiCalls('./src');
console.log('=== MaintainX API Usage Audit ===');
console.log(`Found ${calls.length} API calls:\n`);

// Group by endpoint
const grouped = new Map<string, typeof calls>();
for (const call of calls) {
  const base = call.endpoint.split('?')[0].replace(/\/\d+/, '/:id');
  const existing = grouped.get(base) || [];
  existing.push(call);
  grouped.set(base, existing);
}

for (const [endpoint, usages] of grouped) {
  console.log(`${endpoint} (${usages.length} calls):`);
  for (const u of usages) {
    console.log(`  ${u.file}:${u.line}`);
  }
}

Step 2: Version Compatibility Layer

// src/migration/compat.ts

type ApiVersion = 'v1' | 'v2';

interface VersionAdapter {
  baseUrl: string;
  transformRequest(endpoint: string, data: any): { endpoint: string; data: any };
  transformResponse(endpoint: string, data: any): any;
}

const adapters: Record<ApiVersion, VersionAdapter> = {
  v1: {
    baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1',
    transformRequest: (endpoint, data) => ({ endpoint, data }),
    transformResponse: (endpoint, data) => data,
  },
  v2: {
    baseUrl: 'https://api.getmaintainx.com/v2',
    transformRequest: (endpoint, data) => {
      // Handle breaking changes in v2
      if (endpoint.startsWith('/workorders') && data) {
        // Example: v2 renamed 'assignees' to 'assignedTo'
        if (data.assignees) {
          data.assignedTo = data.assignees;
          delete data.assignees;
        }
      }
      return { endpoint, data };
    },
    transformResponse: (endpoint, data) => {
      // Normalize v2 response to v1 shape
      if (data.assignedTo) {
        data.assignees = data.assignedTo;
      }
      return data;
    },
  },
};

class VersionedClient {
  private adapter: VersionAdapter;

  constructor(version: ApiVersion = 'v1') {
    this.adapter = adapters[version];
  }

  async request(method: string, endpoint: string, data?: any) {
    const { endpoint: ep, data: d } = this.adapter.transformRequest(endpoint, data);
    const response = await fetch(`${this.adapter.baseUrl}${ep}`, {
      method,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MAINTAINX_API_KEY}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: d ? JSON.stringify(d) : undefined,
    });
    const result = await response.json();
    return this.adapter.transformResponse(ep, result);
  }
}

Step 3: Feature Flag Migration

// src/migration/feature-flags.ts

const MIGRATION_FLAGS: Record<string, boolean> = {
  USE_V2_WORKORDERS: false,   // Set to true when ready to switch
  USE_V2_ASSETS: false,
  USE_V2_PAGINATION: false,   // v2 might use offset instead of cursor
};

function getApiVersion(endpoint: string): ApiVersion {
  if (endpoint.startsWith('/workorders') && MIGRATION_FLAGS.USE_V2_WORKORDERS) return 'v2';
  if (endpoint.startsWith('/assets') && MIGRATION_FLAGS.USE_V2_ASSETS) return 'v2';
  return 'v1';
}

// Gradually roll out v2 per-endpoint
async function migratedRequest(method: string, endpoint: string, data?: any) {
  const version = getApiVersion(endpoint);
  const client = new VersionedClient(version);
  return client.request(method, endpoint, data);
}

Step 4: Migration Tests

// tests/migration.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

describe('API Version Migration', () => {
  it('v1 and v2 return equivalent work order data', async () => {
    const v1Client = new VersionedClient('v1');
    const v2Client = new VersionedClient('v2');

    const v1Result = await v1Client.request('GET', '/workorders?limit=5');
    const v2Result = await v2Client.request('GET', '/workorders?limit=5');

    // After adapter normalization, shapes should match
    expect(v1Result.workOrders.length).toBe(v2Result.workOrders.length);
    expect(v1Result.workOrders[0]).toHaveProperty('id');
    expect(v1Result.workOrders[0]).toHaveProperty('title');
    expect(v1Result.workOrders[0]).toHaveProperty('status');
  });

  it('compatibility adapter transforms assignees correctly', () => {
    const adapter = adapters.v2;
    const { data } = adapter.transformRequest('/workorders', {
      title: 'Test',
      assignees: [{ type: 'USER', id: 1 }],
    });
    expect(data.assignedTo).toBeDefined();
    expect(data.assignees).toBeUndefined();
  });
});

Step 5: Rollback Procedure

#!/bin/bash
# rollback-api-version.sh
# Revert to v1 API if v2 migration causes issues

echo "=== MaintainX API Version Rollback ==="
echo "1. Set all feature flags to false:"
echo '   MIGRATION_FLAGS.USE_V2_WORKORDERS = false'
echo '   MIGRATION_FLAGS.USE_V2_ASSETS = false'
echo ""
echo "2. Redeploy with v1 configuration:"
echo "   git revert HEAD --no-edit && git push"
echo ""
echo "3. Verify v1 endpoints are working:"
echo '   curl -s https://api.getmaintainx.com/v1/workorders?limit=1 \'
echo '     -H "Authorization: Bearer $MAINTAINX_API_KEY" | jq .status'
echo ""
echo "4. Monitor error rates for 30 minutes"
echo "5. Document issues for v2 retry"

Output

• API usage audit report listing all endpoints and call sites
• Version compatibility layer with request/response adapters
• Feature flag system for incremental per-endpoint migration
• Migration tests verifying v1/v2 equivalence
• Rollback procedure for safe revert

Examples

Dual-write during migration (write to both v1 and v2):

async function dualWrite(endpoint: string, data: any) {
  const v1 = new VersionedClient('v1');
  const v2 = new VersionedClient('v2');

  const v1Result = await v1.request('POST', endpoint, data);

  try {
    await v2.request('POST', endpoint, data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn('v2 write failed (non-blocking):', err);
    // Log for investigation, don't fail the operation
  }

  return v1Result; // v1 is source of truth during migration
}
