Data Migrations for Laravel
===========================

[](#data-migrations-for-laravel)

This extension allows you to separate data migrations from structure migrations.

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

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

With Composer installed, you can then install the extension using the following commands:

**NOTE:** Until laravel 7.x use version 1.x. From laravel 8.0 and later use 2.x

```
$ php composer.phar require jlorente/laravel-data-migrations
```

or add

```
...
    "require": {
        "jlorente/laravel-data-migrations": "*"
    }
```

to the `require` section of your `composer.json` file.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

1. Register the ServiceProvider in your config/app.php service provider list. This step can be skipped in Laravel 5.5+

config/app.php

```
return [
    //other stuff
    'providers' => [
        //other stuff
        \Jlorente\DataMigrations\DataMigrationsServiceProvider::class,
    ];
];
```

2. Publish the new assets.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=data-migrations
```

This will create the default migrations directory and the config/data-migrations.php file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

By default, the table used to store the data migrations is "migrations\_data" table. You can change the table on the config/data-migrations.php file.

The data migrations will be stored in the migrations\_data folder of the database path if no path is specified in the command execution.

The available commands of the package are:

*Create migration command*

```
php artisan make:data-migration [name] [--path=]
```

The firts time you use it the data migrations table will be created.

*Run migration command*

```
php artisan migrate-data [--path=]
```

*Rollback migration command*

```
php artisan migrate-data:rollback [--path=]
```

The behavior of the migrations is the same as the regular migrations.
