Laravel DB Introspector
=======================

[](#laravel-db-introspector)

A Laravel package to inspect an existing database schema and generate corresponding migration files automatically.

---

🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

1. Require via Composer:

    ```
    composer require dotted-ai/laravel-db-introspector
    ```
2. Publish the stub template (optional):

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish \
        --provider="Vendor\DbIntrospector\DatabaseInspectorServiceProvider" \
        --tag=stubs
    ```

🎯 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

Run the artisan command to generate migrations:

```
php artisan db:generate-migrations \
    [--tables=users,posts] \
    [--rewrite] \
    [--output-dir=from_schema]
```

- `--tables=` **(optional)**: Comma-separated list of tables. If omitted, all tables are processed.
- `--rewrite` **(optional)**: Overwrite existing migration files instead of skipping.
- `--output-dir=` **(optional)**: Specify a subdirectory under `database/migrations` to place generated files.

### Examples

[](#examples)

- Generate migrations for all tables, skip existing:

    ```
    php artisan db:generate-migrations
    ```
- Generate only `users` and `posts`, overwrite any existing:

    ```
    php artisan db:generate-migrations --tables=users,posts --rewrite
    ```
- Output migrations to `database/migrations/from_schema`:

    ```
    php artisan db:generate-migrations --output-dir=from_schema
    ```

⚙️ Configuration
----------------

[](#️-configuration)

You can customize the stub template located at `database/stubs/db-introspector/migration.stub` after publishing.

The stub uses placeholders:

- `{{class}}` — migration class name
- `{{table}}` — table name
- `{{fields}}` — column definitions

🛠️ How It Works
---------------

[](#️-how-it-works)

1. **Introspection**: Uses Doctrine DBAL to list tables and columns.
2. **Build**: Maps Doctrine column types to Laravel schema methods.
3. **Generate**: Writes migration files with timestamps to avoid naming conflicts.
