This is a simple example of a Laravel Package. It's really nothing more than the mysqldump command wrapped in an Artisan command, but once installed, you can create a backup of your database by issuing php artisan mallard:backup.

Install this package via:

composer require rgriss/mallard

Now you can issue the following command:

php artisan mallard:quack

The expected result is

*********************************
*     Quack! Quack! Quack!      *
*********************************

##Roadmap:

mallard:quack
mallard:backup
mallard:restore
