Civitools
=========

[](#civitools)

Tools to integrate CiviCRM a database into a Laravel project.
-------------------------------------------------------------

[](#tools-to-integrate-civicrm-a-database-into-a-laravel-project)

Console commands to build migrations for all CiviCRM tables from CiviCRM's schema.xml source (as of 4.7) and seeders from civicrm\_data.mysql and civicrm\_acl.mysql source, as well as Entity model classes for all CiviCRM tables; also includes console commands to generate a CiviCRM database directly from civicrm.mysql, and to backup and restore a CiviCRM database.

Package Installation
--------------------

[](#package-installation)

```
composer require urbics/civitools
```

Or manually modify `composer.json`:

```
"require": {
    "urbics/civitools": "~0.1"
}
```

and `composer install`.

Installer adds CIVI\_DB\_XXX settings to the .env file that should be reviewed to match your setup. The tools use these settings to connect to the database.

Tools
-----

[](#tools)

- `civi:make:db` to create db and build tables using CiviCRM's civicrm.msql script.
- `civi:make:migration` to generate Laravel migration files, optionally with seeder and model classes. Note: you may need to increase the file limit above 256. On Mac OS: `ulimit -n 1024`.
- Build the tables using Laravel's migration: `php artisan migrate --database=civicrm --path=database/migrations/civi --seed` (These are the default settings - change database connection and path as needed).
- `civi:db:backup` to back up or restore the civicrm database. Be sure to set CIVI\_DB\_CONNECTION, CIVI\_DB\_DATABASE, CIVI\_DB\_HOST, CIVI\_DB\_USERNAME and CIVI\_DB\_PASSWORD in your .env file if any of the civicrm database settings are different from the default settings for your project.

Limitations and cautions
------------------------

[](#limitations-and-cautions)

This is the same package as urbics/laracivi with the civi api functionality and the civicrm-core and civicrm-packages removed. It is intended for projects that need direct access to a CiviCRM, but have dependency version conflicts with the civicrm-core package.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

The project includes phpunit tests for each of the console commands.
