Laravel Dynamo

The package generates migration files for the application using raw mysql file. I use this package to create migration files for the applications after designing and exporting my ERDs to raw mysql from mysql workbench. I have just used this on Laravel 5 and hopefully so far it works.

Installation

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer

"aimme/laravel-dynamo": "1.0.0"

To publish the config settings in Laravel 5 use:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Aimme\Dynamo\DynamoServiceProvider"

The generator is bound to the ioC as dynamo

$generator = App::make('dynamo');

Documentation

• configure the paths in config/dynamo.php . Sample values has already been provided

	'migrations' => [
	     //path to the source erd sql export file
		'source' => [
			'raw' => 'mysql.sql', //source export file by default app will look for the file project root folder.
			'formatted' => 'formatted_source.txt' //to store the formatted source, by default the file will be created in project root
			],
		//make: this array is loaded to the MakeMigraions as making migrations configs
		//order: tells the order of making migrations
		//id_as_auto_increment:  true means if id is set in a table it would be set as increments()
		//or bigIncrements() depending on the field type declared.
		//timestamps_for_all: adds timestamps()->useCurrent() to all migrations even if its not declared in dump
		//output_path: to where all the migrations to be created. Changing it from here wouldn't bring any changes while running through artisan. Just use --path option to define path other than app defined path (database/migrations).
		//clean_folder: removes all the previous file in the path, if any
		'make' => [
			'order' => [
				// 'users',
	            'items_features',
	            // 'listings',
	            'sellers',
	            // 'features',
	            // 'items'
			],
			'id_as_auto_increment' => true,
			'timestamps_for_all' => true,
			'include_remaining' => true,
			'output_path' => 'database/migrations', 
			'clean_folder' => true
		],
	]

after configuring run the artisan command to generate the migration files from the sql file

php artisan generate:migrations

a parameter is available to change the path of the sql file, if not defined it will look into file path defined in the configuration array [migrations] [source] [raw]. For more information see the above configuration file. By default you can put the mysql file named mysql.sql in the root folder, without bringing any changes to the configuration.

example:

php artisan generate:migrations mysqlfile.sql

--path option can be used to define path other than app defined migrations path (database/migrations). The location where the migration files should be created in.

example:

php artisan generate:migrations mysqlfile.sql --path=another/migrations
