Consider to **clear the cache** whenever you make a new **deployment/migration**! --- #### `fromToday`, `fromYesterday` [](#fromtoday-fromyesterday) Select all entries created today or yesterday. ``` use LaracraftTech\LaravelUsefulAdditions\Traits\UsefulScopes; $class = new class extends Model { use UsefulScopes; protected $timestamps = true; protected $table = 'scope_tests'; }; $class->create(['foo' => 'foo1', 'bar' => 'bar1', 'quz' => 'quz1']); $class->create(['foo' => 'foo2', 'bar' => 'bar2', 'quz' => 'quz2', 'created_at' => now()->yesterday()]); $class::select('foo')->fromToday()->first()->toArray(); // return ['foo' => 'foo1'] $class::select('foo')->fromYesterday()->first()->toArray(); // return ['foo' => 'foo2'] ``` ### RefreshDatabaseFast [](#refreshdatabasefast) > **Deprecated:** We recommend using Laravel's built-in `RefreshDatabase` trait instead. > > Laravel now uses a similar approach internally (migrate once, then rollback per test), which makes this trait largely redundant. Additionally, `RefreshDatabaseFast` can cause **persistent data across tests** when a test is aborted unexpectedly, because the rollback may not be triggered. The small performance gain of skipping the initial migration via checksum is minimal compared to the potential issues this can cause. > > Use `Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase` for a more resilient testing experience. --- This is a trait which makes the migration of your database in your test suite much, **much faster**! The base idea comes from [Mayahi](https://mayahi.net/laravel/make-refresh-database-trait-much-faster/). It basically **only** migrates your database if the **migration** files has **changed**. So the first `migrate:fresh` takes a while (depending on how many migrations you have), and then it's incredible fast. Optionally you can set `USEFUL_ADDITIONS_SEED_AFTER_FAST_DB_REFRESH` to `true` if you like to seed your database after the migration. Also make sure to add the `.phpunit.database.checksum` to your `.gitignore` file! ***Pest:*** ``` use LaracraftTech\LaravelUsefulAdditions\Traits\RefreshDatabaseFast; uses(RefreshDatabaseFast::class); it('does_something', function() { // ... }); ``` ***PHPUnit:*** ``` use LaracraftTech\LaravelUsefulAdditions\Traits\RefreshDatabaseFast; use Tests\TestCase; class MyTest extends TestCase { use RefreshDatabaseFast; /** @test **/ public function it_does_something() { // ... } } ``` Commands -------- [](#commands-1) ### db:truncate [](#dbtruncate) --- This command truncates all the tables of your current database connection. Checkout `--help` to see arguments and options. It for instance, lets you also truncate only **specific** tables or disable **foreigen key checks** or maybe run in **force** mode. ``` php artisan db:truncate ``` ``` INFO Start truncating tables.
