**THIS PACKAGE IS NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE**

[`useCurrentOnUpdate`](https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/35143) has been pr'd into the framework itself:

```
$table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent();
$table->timestamp('updated_at')->useCurrent()->useCurrentOnUpdate();
```

Laravel Auto Timestamps
=======================

[](#laravel-auto-timestamps)

This package adds the ability to use auto-updating timestamps for MySQL databases.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require esign/laravel-auto-timestamps
```

If you want to define the database connections on which the migration helpers should be available, you could publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Esign\AutoTimestamps\AutoTimestampsServiceProvider"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Specifying database connections

[](#specifying-database-connections)

To specify the database connections on which the migrations should be available, edit the connections array in the config file. The mysql connection is used by default.

```
'connections' => [
    'mysql',
],
```

### Migrations

[](#migrations)

This package provides a `->useCurrentUpdate()` method on the blueprint class, which only triggers when running against a MySQL database.

A blueprint macro `->autoTimestamps()` is included that will allow you to quickly set up auto-updating `created_at` and `updated_at` timestamps. You may edit the name of this macro in the config file.

```
$table->autoTimestamps();

// results in:
$table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent();
$table->timestamp('updated_at')->useCurrentUpdate();
```
