[](#db-manager--)

***Notice!*** This package requires Doctrine/DBAL. As of Laravel 4.1, Laravel is not dependent on Doctrine, but you can still use doctrine, if you include `"doctrine/dbal": "2.5.*@dev"` in your composer.json.

Laravel Package for Database management easier.

- Lists all the tables in the database
- Lists all the columns of a table
- Get datatype of a column

Install
-------

[](#install)

1. Add in your composer.json `"howlowck/db-manager": "dev-master"`
2. Add in your `app/config/app.php` service provider: `'Howlowck\DbManager\DbManagerServiceProvider'`
3. (optional) add the facade: `'DbManager' => 'Howlowck\DbManager\Facades\DbManager',`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

(If you use the Facade: )

- `DbManager::listTables( [optional] $exclude )`-- lists all the tables in your database, $exclude is an array that you want to exclude from the final result (Note: by default, it excludes `migrations` table);
- `DbManager::listColumns($table, [optional] $exclude)`-- lists all the columns in the given table.
- `DbManager::getColumnType($table, $columnName)`-- returns the type name of a column

(If you choose to only use the service provider)

`App::make('dbmanager')->listTables()` ...
