Consider you have database tables you want to keep in-sync across environments. For instance some configuration table where you need to ensure a fixed number of rows, but not necessarily overwrite the values. Laravel Production Seeding helps you achieve this in a styleful manner! Inspired by Edward Coleridge Smith's Laracon talk on the subject: [How to avoid database migration hell (YouTube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH-FLJ363-Q) \-- Makeable is web- and mobile app agency located in Aarhus, Denmark. Install ------- [](#install) You can install this package via composer: ``` composer require makeabledk/laravel-production-seeding ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Create a Laravel seeder as you normally would. Next implement the SyncStrategy, and apply the fixed rows onto your model from the run method. Finally you can run the seeder as part of your deployment process to ensure all environments implements the same basic blueprint. Examples -------- [](#examples) ### Syncing a configuration table [](#syncing-a-configuration-table) Sync a database configuration table with an array-blueprint. Note how we hardcode the service-id, but allow for separate keys. ``` class ConfigSeeder extends Seeder { use \Makeable\ProductionSeeding\SyncStrategy; public $rows = [ [ 'key' => 'some_service_id', 'value' => '123456' ], [ 'key' => 'some_service_public_key', ], [ 'key' => 'some_service_private_key', ], ]; public function run() { $this->apply($this->rows, Config::class, 'key'); } } ``` Results in ``` | id | key | value | |----|--------------------------|--------| | 1 | some_service_id | 123456 | | 2 | some_service_public_key | NULL | | 3 | some_service_private_key | NULL | ``` ### Syncing rows with an order [](#syncing-rows-with-an-order) Sometimes you may want to have a fixed list of items and then apply a certain order in the database. This can easily be achieved with a `AppendsSortOrder` trait. Re-arranging the array items will change the order value in the database, but leave the id's intact. ``` class LanguageSeeder extends Seeder { use \Makeable\ProductionSeeding\SyncStrategy, \Makeable\ProductionSeeding\AppendsSortOrder; protected $sortKey = 'order'; // default if omitted public $rows = [ [ 'code' => 'en_GB', 'name' => 'English (GB)', ], [ 'code' => 'en_US', 'name' => 'English (US)', ], [ 'code' => 'da_DK', 'name' => 'Danish', ], ]; public function run() { $this->apply($this->rows, LanguagesModel::class, 'code'); } } ``` Results in... ``` | id | code | name | order | |----|-------|--------------|-------| | 1 | en_GB | English (GB) | 1 | | 2 | en_US | English (US) | 2 | | 3 | da_DK | Danish | 3 | ``` You could then re-arrange the array and run the seeder again. Then you could have... ``` | id | code | name | order | |----|-------|--------------|-------| | 1 | en_GB | English (GB) | 2 | | 2 | en_US | English (US) | 1 | | 3 | da_DK | Danish | 3 | ``` Pretty cool, right? ### Appending a configuration table [](#appending-a-configuration-table) Using previous sync-strategy, any rows manually added to the database table would be deleted on seeding. If this is not the behaviour you wish for, you may instead use `AppendStrategy` which would only append the new rows. Let's assume our previous `config` table has an existing row: ``` | id | key | value | |----|--------------------------|------------| | 1 | github_username | makeabledk | ``` Next we setup our `ConfigSeeder` with an `AppendStrategy`: ``` class ConfigSeeder extends Seeder { use \Makeable\ProductionSeeding\AppendStrategy; public $rows = [ [ 'key' => 'some_service_id', 'value' => '123456' ], [ 'key' => 'some_service_public_key', ], [ 'key' => 'some_service_private_key', ], ]; public function run() { $this->apply($this->rows, Config::class, 'key'); } } ``` Now our table would have the existing row plus the 3 new ones: ``` | id | key | value | |----|--------------------------|------------| | 1 | github_username | makeabledk | | 2 | some_service_id | 123456 | | 3 | some_service_public_key | NULL | | 4 | some_service_private_key | NULL | ``` Change log ---------- [](#change-log) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
