public class Flyway
extends java.lang.Object
```
This is the centre point of Flyway, and for most users, the only class they will ever have to deal with. It is THE public API from which all important Flyway functions such as clean, validate and migrate can be called. To get started all you need to do is create a configured Flyway object and then invoke its principal methods.
```
 Flyway flyway = Flyway.configure().dataSource(url, user, password).load();
 flyway.migrate();
 
```
Note that a configured Flyway object is immutable. If you change the configuration you will end up creating a new Flyway object.

```
public Flyway(Configuration configuration)
```
    Creates a new instance of Flyway with this configuration. In general the Flyway.configure() factory method should be preferred over this constructor, unless you need to create or reuse separate Configuration objects.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configuration - The configuration to use.

  - configure
```
public static FluentConfiguration configure()
```
    This is your starting point. This creates a configuration which can be customized to your needs before being loaded into a new Flyway instance using the load() method. In its simplest form, this is how you configure Flyway with all defaults to get started:
    Flyway flyway = Flyway.configure().dataSource(url, user, password).load();
    After that you have a fully-configured Flyway instance at your disposal which can be used to invoke Flyway functionality such as migrate() or clean().
    Returns:
    
    A new configuration from which Flyway can be loaded.
  - configure
```
public static FluentConfiguration configure(java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)
```
    This is your starting point. This creates a configuration which can be customized to your needs before being loaded into a new Flyway instance using the load() method. In its simplest form, this is how you configure Flyway with all defaults to get started:
    Flyway flyway = Flyway.configure().dataSource(url, user, password).load();
    After that you have a fully-configured Flyway instance at your disposal which can be used to invoke Flyway functionality such as migrate() or clean().
    Parameters:
    
    classLoader - The class loader to use when loading classes and resources.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new configuration from which Flyway can be loaded.
  - getConfiguration
```
public Configuration getConfiguration()
```
    Returns:
    
    The configuration that Flyway is using.
  - migrate
```
public MigrateResult migrate()
                      throws FlywayException
```
    Starts the database migration. All pending migrations will be applied in order. Calling migrate on an up-to-date database has no effect.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the successfully applied migrations.
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the migration failed.
  - info
```
public MigrationInfoService info()
```
    Retrieves the complete information about all the migrations including applied, pending and current migrations with details and status.
    
    Returns:
    
    All migrations sorted by version, oldest first.
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the info retrieval failed.
  - clean
```
public CleanResult clean()
```
    Drops all objects (tables, views, procedures, triggers, ...) in the configured schemas. The schemas are cleaned in the order specified by the schemas property.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the actions taken
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the clean fails.
  - validate
```
public void validate()
              throws FlywayException
```
    Validate applied migrations against resolved ones (on the filesystem or classpath) to detect accidental changes that may prevent the schema(s) from being recreated exactly. Validation fails if:
    
    differences in migration names, types or checksums are found
    
    versions have been applied that aren't resolved locally anymore
    
    versions have been resolved that haven't been applied yet
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the validation failed.
  - validateWithResult
```
public ValidateResult validateWithResult()
                                  throws FlywayException
```
    Validate applied migrations against resolved ones (on the filesystem or classpath) to detect accidental changes that may prevent the schema(s) from being recreated exactly. Validation fails if:
    
    differences in migration names, types or checksums are found
    
    versions have been applied that aren't resolved locally anymore
    
    versions have been resolved that haven't been applied yet
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the validation results
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the validation failed.
  - baseline
```
public BaselineResult baseline()
                        throws FlywayException
```
    Baselines an existing database, excluding all migrations up to and including baselineVersion.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the actions taken
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the schema baseline failed.
  - repair
```
public RepairResult repair()
                    throws FlywayException
```
    Repairs the Flyway schema history table. This will perform the following actions:
    
    Remove any failed migrations on databases without DDL transactions (User objects left behind must still be cleaned up manually)
    
    Realign the checksums, descriptions and types of the applied migrations with the ones of the available migrations
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the actions taken
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when the schema history table repair failed.
  - undo
```
public UndoResult undo()
                throws FlywayException
```
    Undoes the most recently applied versioned migration. If target is specified, Flyway will attempt to undo versioned migrations in the order they were applied until it hits one with a version below the target. If there is no versioned migration to undo, calling undo has no effect. Flyway Teams only
    
    Returns:
    
    An object summarising the successfully undone migrations.
    
    Throws:
    
    FlywayException - when undo failed.
