README

This package overrides the make:migration command and upon calling it applies a number to the end of the file when it already exists. Like so: 2016_01_01_151500_update_users_friends_1.php

Please note: This package and its examples are written for a PostgreSQL database. Therefore you frequently see the word schema. If you use MySQL or a different database type you can ommit the word schema and it will work just fine.

Installation

Require this package with composer:

composer require sestolk/laravel-batched-migrations

After updating composer, add the MigrationsServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

sestolk\BatchedMigrations\MigrationsServiceProvider::class,

Configuration

Some configuration can be done by publishing the configuration file.

You should use Artisan to copy the default configuration file to /config/batched.migrations.php with the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="sestolk\BatchedMigrations\MigrationsServiceProvider"

Making Migrations

On making a new migration you can use the following format and you won't have to worry about duplicate class/file-names. You can keep your filenames, just plain and simple like the names below.

Creating something new (like a table or schema)?

php artisan make:migration create_{schema}_{table}

Replace {schema} and {table} with the schema and table you are creating

Updating a table (like adding, removing or changing a column)?

php artisan make:migration update_{schema}_{table}

Replace {schema} and {table} with the schema and table you are updating

Example?

Creating a table

If I want to create a new table friends in the schema users, I run the following command on my local environment:

php artisan make:migration create_users_friends

Updating a table

If I want to update the existing table friends in the schema users, I run the following command on my local environment:

php artisan make:migration update_users_friends
