I have used his tests and some other code, since it's awesome codebase for supporting other NoSQL databases. I hope he won't be angry on me for that ;) This project is aiming at Laravel 5 which is soon to be released, so it might not work with L4. Installation ============ [](#installation) Requirements. ------------- [](#requirements) 1. Rethinkdb : You need to make sure that you have installed [rethinkdb](http://www.rethinkdb.com) successfully, you can reffer to rethinkdb [documentation](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/) for the full instruction of how to install rethinkdb. 2. Laravel 5.2 : this package was designed to work with [laravel](http://laravel.com) 5.2, so it will not work with laravel 4.x. Installation ------------ [](#installation-1) To fully install this package you will have either to add it manually to your `composer.json` file, or you can execute the following command : `composer require "dkuzmenchuk/laravel-rethinkdb:dev-master"` This will install the package and all the required package for it to work. Service Provider ---------------- [](#service-provider) After you install the library you will need to add the `Service Provider` file to your `app.php` file like : `dkuzmenchuk\Rethinkdb\RethinkdbServiceProvider::class,` inside your `providers` array. Database configuration ---------------------- [](#database-configuration) Now that you have the service provider setup, you will need to add the following configuration array at the end of your database connections array like : ``` 'rethinkdb' => [ 'name' => 'rethinkdb', 'driver' => 'rethinkdb', 'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'), 'port' => env('DB_PORT', 28015), 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'), ] ``` After you add it, you can just configure your enviroment file to be something like : ``` DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_CONNECTION=rethinkdb ``` but you can always updatr your `DB_HOST` to point to the IP where you have installed rethinkdb. Migration ========= [](#migration) Create a Migration File ----------------------- [](#create-a-migration-file) You can easily create a migration file using the following command which will create a migration file for you to create the users table and use the package schema instead of Laravel schema: `php artisan make:rethink-migration Users --create` Please note that you can use the same options that you use in `make:migration` with `make:rethink-migration`, as its based on laravel `make:migration` Be aware that Laravel Schema API is not fully implemented. For example, ID columns using increments will not be auto-incremented unsigned integers, and will instead be a UUID unless explicitly set. The easiest solution is to maintain UUID use within RethinkDB, turn off incremental IDs in Laravel, and finally implement UUID use in Laravel. Running The Migrations ---------------------- [](#running-the-migrations) Nothing will change here, you will keep using the same laravel commands which you are used to execute to run the migration. Example of Laravel Users Migration file --------------------------------------- [](#example-of-laravel-users-migration-file) This is an example of how the laravel Users Migration file has become ```
