Informations about the package laravel-data-migrations
Laravel Data Migrations
This package is used to deliver seamless data migrations to Laravel. Data migrations are version control system for your mandatory DB data (like statuses, types, etc.) without which the app wouldn't function.
One alternative is to burn these within your plain migrations, other is just to use seeders at which point you need to devise a mechanism to split production grade seeders from the development ones.
These are all good solutions as long as you follow some methodology and are consistent. The goal of this package was to deliver a real separation for this use case.
Installation
Require the package with composer require norgul/laravel-data-migrations.
Service provider will be registered automatically.
Usage
You can start using the package by running commands below which are following Laravel migration command
structure with, for the most part, the same API they provide.
Remember you can add -h flag to show all available options for a particular command.
Commands
Make Data Migration
php artisan make:data-migration {name}
Create your first data migration. This will create data-migrations directory in your database
directory if it doesn't already exist, which is the place where you'll find already familiar naming structure.
Package is using Laravel migrator in the background, so if you run:
The table guesser will automatically add a data migration with users table stubbed in.
Even though you can reference Eloquent classes and even your seeders from within data migrations, it is
highly recommended to use DB facade to execute queries. Reason behind it is that your classes and seeders may
change over time, thus leaving your data migrations execute differently in the future. Always using DB
facade will ensure that end results are always the same.
Data Migrate
php artisan data-migrate
Execute your migrations with data-migrate command. These will be executed once, in the same way as standard
migrations are ran (by executing up() function).
Command will automatically create data_migrations table in the DB if it doesn't already exist.
Data Migrate Rollback
php artisan data-migrate:rollback
You can revert your changes by executing this command which will trigger down() function in the data migration.
Data Migrate Install
php artisan data-migrate:install
You never need to run this command explicitly. It is here for documentation purposes.
This command will create data_migrations table in your DB.
