This is an artisan command to convert your current SQL database schema into a Laravel 4 Migration file. It'll come really handy when you have started a Laravel project without using migrations, or if you're migrating an old app to Laravel.
- Add the package to your composer.json file and run
composer update
:
"require": {
"adamkearsley/convert-migrations": "dev-master"
}
- Add
'Adamkearsley\ConvertMigrations\ConvertMigrationsServiceProvider'
to yourapp/config/app.php
file, inside theproviders
array.
Now it's as easy as running php artisan convert:migrations myDatabaseName
. Wait a few seconds and, magically, you'll have a new migration in app/database/migrations
.
Ignoring Tables
You can even ignore tables from the migration if you need to. Just use the ignore
option and separate table names with a comma: php artisan convert:migrations --ignore="table1, table2"
.
