dot-migrations

Add migrations and seeders to your DotKernel3 project.

Usage

Some new commands as been added to the php dot command.

• make:migration name
  • Make a migration file, which will be used to create new tables and rows in the database
• make:seed name
  • Make a seeder, which will be used to seed the database with either test or default data.
• migrate [--force]
  • Migrate the missing migrations, use the --force in your deployment script to avoid the production environment warning.
• migrate:reset
  • Rollback all migrations and reset the database.
• migrate:rollback
  • Rollback the latest migration only.
• seed [name]
  • Run all seeders, or optionally provide a name, and only run that seeder

To run any of them simply run php dot <command>. Dot kernel will take care of the rest, putting the files in the right directory etc. Settings can be found in the migrations.php.dist.

The package also exposes a single method, the config() method, which allows you to grab any config key/value, before it enters the global configuration, thus you don't need a factory to grab it. This method play an important role i not duplicating config values.

Installation

1. Installing is extremely easy, all you have to do is run composer require japseyz/dot-migrations, and copy the migrations.php.dist file to the /config folder and remove the .dist ending.

2. After that is done, you open up /config/config.php and add \Dot\Migrations\ConfigProvider::class, to the $aggregator array.

3. Create a folder inside data named database, and inside this, create two folders; migrations and seeds, this is where your migrations and seeds will go.

4. That's it, all you have to do now is run composer dump-autoload and enjoy access to migrations and seeders, all you have to do is run php dot

Troubleshooting

The migrations commands does not show up, what do I do?

If you've follow the installation, but no commands show up, try deleting /data/config-cache.php and running php dot again.
