Package

Composer / Packagist package name:

hadiabedzadeh/mssql-browser

GitHub repository:

https://github.com/hadi-abedzadeh/mssql-browser

Installation from Packagist

After the package has been published on Packagist:

composer require hadiabedzadeh/mssql-browser
php artisan optimize:clear

Laravel discovers the service provider automatically.

Local development with a path repository

Place the repository inside your Laravel project, for example:

packages/hadiabedzadeh/mssql-browser

Add this to the application's composer.json:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "packages/hadiabedzadeh/mssql-browser",
            "options": {
                "symlink": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

Then run:

composer require hadiabedzadeh/mssql-browser:@dev
php artisan optimize:clear

Browser URL

By default:

/database-browser?dev_as=1

Configuration

Optional .env values:

DATABASE_BROWSER_ENABLED=true
DATABASE_BROWSER_ACCESS_KEY=dev_as
DATABASE_BROWSER_ACCESS_VALUE=1
DATABASE_BROWSER_ROUTE_PREFIX=database-browser
DATABASE_BROWSER_PER_PAGE=200
DATABASE_BROWSER_QUERY_PREVIEW_LIMIT=500
DATABASE_BROWSER_ALLOW_QUERY_EDITOR=true
DATABASE_BROWSER_ALLOW_EXPORT=true

For non-local environments, use a strong secret value instead of DATABASE_BROWSER_ACCESS_VALUE=1 and restrict access at the network/application layer as well.
