README

A Laravel package to generate migration files from existing database tables — perfect for legacy projects that don't have migrations. This tool helps developers generate migration files for all tables in one go, improving workflow and making future table changes manageable.

🚀 Features

🔄 Generate migrations from existing tables
📂 Support for generating all or selected tables
⚙️ Custom configuration via a published config file
🧼 Clean and Laravel-style migration syntax
🧾 Supports indexing, unique, nullable, and default column properties

📦 Installation

composer require ganeshk007/migration-generator

⚙️ Configuration (Optional)

To publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

This creates a config file at:

config/migration-generator.php

You can configure which tables to include or exclude:

return [

    // List of tables to exclude (e.g. Laravel system tables)
    'exclude_tables' => [
        'jobs',
        'failed_jobs',
        'password_resets',
        'oauth*'
    ],
];

⚙️ Usage

Generate migration files using:

php artisan migration:generate {table?}

Optional Parameters

table: (optional) The name of a specific table to generate a migration for. If not provided, migrations will be generated for all tables (excluding those in config).

Examples:

php artisan migration:generate
php artisan migration:generate users

🧪 Example Output

For a users table, the generated migration will look like:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
    $table->string('password');
    $table->rememberToken();
    $table->timestamps();
});
