Overview

[](#overview)

What It Is
----------

[](#what-it-is)

This package is a tool that creates Laravel migration files by inspecting the application's models with the command `php artisan implicit-migrations:generate`. Even after you change the model classes, you can run the command and generate a migration with the necessary update operations.

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

With the most basic configuration, the `implicit-migrations:generate` artisan command looks at a Eloquent model and finds necessary information about the table properties such as the table name, primary key etc. Then it goes over the properties of the model and collects the name, type and default value information if provided. With the information collected, it creates a migration file and populates the `up()` and `down()` methods with the appropriate definitions.

### Implications

[](#implications)

For further details, the generator refers to some additional data in the model class which we call "Implications". These can be specified with either annotations or attributes on the class, its properties and methods.

#### Annotations

[](#annotations)

Annotations in DocBlocks with the format `@()` are recognized and interpreted as implications. For example, an annotation like this tells the generator that this integer property corresponds to an `UNSIGNED` `INT` column named `product_id` in the `order_items` table:

```
