ArionMigrations
===============

[](#arionmigrations)

About the package
-----------------

[](#about-the-package)

ArionsMigrations is a simple Laravel package that allows the users to create migrations using the method `before();` . Until now Laravel allows users to update a table and use only `after();`

This can be a bit time wasting for a user that needs to see the table to find which column comes so they can use `after();` when they know the other column.

Install on Laravel
------------------

[](#install-on-laravel)

`composer require arionmigrations/arion-migrations`

Add the provider in the app.php
-------------------------------

[](#add-the-provider-in-the-appphp)

`ArionMigrations\Providers\ArionMigrationServiceProvider::class`

Example
-------

[](#example)

With `after();` its like this:

```
 Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('email')->before('name');
        });

```

With `before();` its like this:

```
 Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->before('before_column_name','new_column_name','type', 'length', 'default');
        });

```

The default length for string is `255`, but you can add your own length and the default is nullable but it can be changed.

After you have writen the migration just execute the migration

`php artisan migrate`
