README

I was in need of a tool to export Data from an existing MySQL DB to a Laravel Seeder. I searched online for it, but found not the right tool I wanted. I stumbled upon the namelivia/mysql-to-laravel-seed.

• and the Seeders didn't look nice

I decided to create my own version of a MySQL to Laravel Seeder Tool.

I welcome all notifications about working environments. Just mail me ([e-mail]) and I'll put it up here, or send a merge request.

Simple Examples

Create a file named export.php in your Laravel root (where your .env is) and execute it by using php ./export.php . Done.

Use without Composer autoload

<?php

require_once __DIR__.'/path/to/schwarzer/laravel-mysql-to-seeder/src/Export.php';

$export = new \Schwarzer\LaravelHelper\MySQLToSeeder\Export('hostname','database','username','password',3306);

$export->generateExport(
    null, // null equals "All Tables" ( $this->getAllTableNames() )
    './database/seeds', // if null './database/seeds' is applied
    ['these','are','boolean','values'],
    ['timestamp_column','created_at', 'updated_at'],
    ['type','date']
);

Use with Composer autoload

<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$export = new \Schwarzer\LaravelHelper\MySQLToSeeder\Export('hostname','database','username','password',3306);

$export->generateExport(
   null,  // null equals "All Tables" ( $this->getAllTableNames() )
   './database/seeds', // if null './database/seeds' is applied
   ['these','are','boolean','values'],
   ['timestamp_column','created_at', 'updated_at'],
   ['type','date']
);
