README

Laravel Database Trigger provides a way to add database trigger to laravel migrations just like you would with database table. A trigger is a named database object that is associated with a table, and that activates when a particular event occurs for the table. Read more about triggers here.

Installation

Laravel Database Trigger requires at least PHP 7.1. This particular version supports laravel at least v5.5. The package currently supports MySQL only.

To get the latest version, simply require the package using Composer:

$ composer require ntimyeboah/laravel-database-trigger

Once installed, if you are not using automatic package discovery, then you need to register the TopviewDigital\LaravelDatabaseTrigger\TriggerServiceProvider service provider in your config/app.php.

Usage

Create a trigger migration file using the make:trigger artisan command. The command requires the name of the trigger, name of the event object table, action timing and the event that activates the trigger.

$ php artisan make:trigger after_users_update

Event object table

The event object table is the name of the table the trigger is associated with.

Action timing

The activation time for the trigger. Possible values are after and before.

after - Process action after the change is made on the event object table.

before - Process action prior to the change is made on the event object table.

Event

The event to activate trigger. A trigger event can be insert, update and delete.

insert - Activate trigger when an insert operation is performed on the event object table.

update - Activate trigger when an update operation is performed on the event object table.

delete - Activate trigger when a delete operation is performed on the event object table.

The following trigger migration file will be generated for a trigger that uses after_users_update as a name, users as event object table name, after as action timing and update as event.

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use TopviewDigital\LaravelDatabaseTrigger\TriggerFacade as Schema;

class CreateAfterUsersUpdateTrigger extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('after_users_update')
            ->on('users')
            ->statement(function() {
                return '//...';
            })
            ->after()
            ->update();
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('users.after_users_update');
    }
}

Return the trigger statement from the closure of the statement method.

The following is an example trigger migration to insert into the users_audit table after updating a user row.

...

    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('after_users_update')
            ->on('users')
            ->statement(function() {
                return 'insert into `users_audit` (`name`, `email`) values (old.name, old.email);';
            })
            ->after()
            ->update();
    }

...
