### Installation

[](#installation)

#### Step 1: Require this Package

[](#step-1-require-this-package)

Require this package with composer.

```
composer require reedware/laravel-blueprints
```

This package uses auto-discovery, so it doesn't require you to manually add the service provider for Laravel 5.5+. Should you choose to register the service provider manually, or you're using a framework older than Laravel 5.5, you can include the following class in your list of service providers:

```
\Reedware\LaravelBlueprints\BlueprintsServiceProvider::class
```

#### Step 2: Publish Configuration

[](#step-2-publish-configuration)

This package comes with a configuration file. You can either publish the configuration file (using `php artisan vendor:publish`), or by copying the configuration file from the source code directly (see `~/config/blueprints.php`).

#### Step 3: Replace the Schema Facade

[](#step-3-replace-the-schema-facade)

This package leverages the `Schema` facade to override the default blueprint resolver for the schema builder. While this is minimally invasive on Laravel's source code, it requires a small workaround to become functional in a project. The first quirk is that you'll have to replace Laravel's default `Schema` facade with the one provided by this package.

```
// 'Schema' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema::class,
'Schema' => Reedware\LaravelBlueprints\Schema::class,
```

#### Step 4: Change your Migrations before running

[](#step-4-change-your-migrations-before-running)

Since Laravel 5.3, the absolute path to Laravel's `Schema` facade was included in all of the migrations that were automatically generated. This bypasses the facade configuration that you did in Step 3. You can either uncomment this line (which will then defer to the correct facade), or you change the namespace to match the one from this package.

```
// use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
```

or

```
use Reedware\LaravelBlueprints\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
```
