### ⚠️ **WORK IN PROGRESS** ⚠️

[](#️-work-in-progress-️)

Generate Laravel migration files from existing databases.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require romanzipp/laravel-migration-generator

```

**If you use Laravel 5.5+ you are already done, otherwise continue.**

Add Service Provider to your `app.php` configuration file:

```
romanzipp\MigrationGenerator\Providers\MigrationGeneratorProvider::class,
```

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

[](#configuration)

Copy configuration to config folder:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="romanzipp\MigrationGenerator\Providers\MigrationGeneratorProvider"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
php artisan mg:generate {--connection=}
```

You will see various new migration files prefixed with the current time & date.

**Notice**: This package can't guess the order in which migrations will be created. If you've created some foreign keys in your database, be sure to re-order the migration files based on these relations.

Supported Databases
-------------------

[](#supported-databases)

- MySQL
- MariaDB
- SQLite ([Info on Datatypes](https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html))

### SQLite

[](#sqlite)

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit

```

### MySQL / MariaDB

[](#mysql--mariadb)

*Requires a running MySQL / MariaDB server*

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.mysql.xml

```

#### Provide database environment variables

[](#provide-database-environment-variables)

```
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_USERNAME=user DB_PASSWORD=secret ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.mysql.xml

```

Known issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

- *MariaDB*: The `JSON` MySQL data type is not supported since Doctrine/DBAL interprets this as `Doctrine\DBAL\Types\TextType`
- *MySQL*: Doctrine/DBAL can't differentiate between TEXT, LONGTEXT, MEDIUMTEXT
