WP Migrations
=============

[](#wp-migrations)

#### Migrations for WordPress inspired by Laravel.

[](#migrations-for-wordpress-inspired-by-laravel)

The package can be used in different plugins in the same time if you create your own `BaseMigration` in each plugin.

Follow the steps before to properly setup the package.

### Instructions

[](#instructions)

1.) Create base class called `BaseMigration`

```
namespace MyPlugin\Database\Migrations;

use IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\Engine\Migration;
use IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\Contracts\Migration as MigrationContract;

class BaseMigration extends Migration implements MigrationContract {

    /**
     * Specify custom migrations table
     * @var string
     */
    protected $migrationsTableName = 'your_migrations_table';

}
```

2.) Create migrations table setup migration. eg `SetupMigrations`

```
namespace MyPlugin\Database\Migrations;

use IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\Engine\Setup;

class CreateMigrationsTable extends BaseMigration {
	use Setup;
}
```

3.) You can now create your own custom migrations. In this case create the `fruits` table.

```
namespace MyPlugin\Database\Migrations;

use IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\Database\Blueprint;
use IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\Wrappers\Schema;

class CreateFruitsTable extends BaseMigration {

	/**
	 * Put the table up
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function up() {
		Schema::create( 'fruits', function ( Blueprint $table ) {
			$table->bigIncrements( 'id' );
			$table->string( 'name' );
		} );
	}

	/**
	 * Default down function
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function down() {
		Schema::drop( 'fruits' );
	}

}
```

4.) Finally, register those migrations

```
/**
 * Registers the plugin migrations
 * @return void
 */
function my_plugin_register_migrations() {

    // Boot the CLI interface
    if(!class_exists('\IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\CLI\Boot')) {
        return;
    }
    \IgniteKit\WP\Migrations\CLI\Boot::start();

    // Register the migrations table migration
    CreateMigrationsTable::register();

    // Register the other migrations
    // NOTE: The squence is important!
    CreateFruitsTable::register();
    // ... other

}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_plugin_register_migrations');
```

### Creating columns

[](#creating-columns)

You can create a lot of different column types with Table Migrations. Here's a list:

CommandDescription$table->bigInteger('votes');BIGINT equivalent for the database.$table->binary('data');BLOB equivalent for the database.$table->boolean('confirmed');BOOLEAN equivalent for the database.$table->char('name', 4);CHAR equivalent with a length.$table->date('created\_at');DATE equivalent for the database.$table->dateTime('created\_at');DATETIME equivalent for the database.$table->decimal('amount', 5, 2);DECIMAL equivalent with a precision and scale.$table->double('column', 15, 8);DOUBLE equivalent with precision, 15 digits in total and 8 after the decimal point.$table->float('amount', 8, 2);FLOAT equivalent for the database, 8 digits in total and 2 after the decimal point.$table->increments('id');Incrementing ID (primary key) using a "UNSIGNED INTEGER" equivalent.$table->bigIncrements('id');Incrementing ID (primary key) using a "UNSIGNED BIGINT" equivalent.$table->smallIncrements('id');Incrementing ID (primary key) using a "UNSIGNED SMALLINT" equivalent.$table->mediumIncrements('id');Incrementing ID (primary key) using a "UNSIGNED MEDIUMINT" equivalent.$table->integer('votes');INTEGER equivalent for the database.$table->longText('description');LONGTEXT equivalent for the database.$table->mediumInteger('numbers');MEDIUMINT equivalent for the database.$table->mediumText('description');MEDIUMTEXT equivalent for the database.$table->smallInteger('votes');SMALLINT equivalent for the database.$table->string('email');VARCHAR equivalent column.$table->string('name', 100);VARCHAR equivalent with a length.$table->text('description');TEXT equivalent for the database.$table->time('sunrise');TIME equivalent for the database.$table->tinyInteger('numbers');TINYINT equivalent for the database.$table->timestamp('added\_on');TIMESTAMP equivalent for the database.---
