Laravel Convert Migrations

This is an artisan command to convert your current SQL database schema into a Laravel 4 Migration file. It'll come really handy when you have started a Laravel project without using migrations, or if you're migrating an old app to Laravel.

Installation

1. Add the package to your composer.json file and run composer update:

"require": {
    "adamkearsley/convert-migrations": "dev-master"
}

2. Add 'Adamkearsley\ConvertMigrations\ConvertMigrationsServiceProvider' to your app/config/app.php file, inside the providers array.

Usage

Now it's as easy as running php artisan convert:migrations myDatabaseName. Wait a few seconds and, magically, you'll have a new migration in app/database/migrations.

Ignoring Tables

You can even ignore tables from the migration if you need to. Just use the ignore option and separate table names with a comma: php artisan convert:migrations --ignore="table1, table2".
