    | When enabled, the generator will try to output Laravel-style shortcuts:
    | - $table->id()
    | - $table->timestamps()
    | - $table->foreignId(...)->constrained(...)
    |
    | When disabled, the generator will stay closer to the original schema.
    |
    */
    'use_laravel_style_macros' => true,
