README

Create Models, Migrations, and Factories for any existing MySQL database

Whether you want to migrate away from another framework to Laravel or you just want to connect a Laravel installation to your database, this package makes it really easy.

Just define the connection to your database as you would any Laravel database. It doesn't have to be the default connection, but it can be. Then install this package and follow the instructions to create migrations, models, factories, tests, and / or Nova resources based on the structure of and existing data within your database.

Installation

Create the Laravel installation into which you want to add model, migrations, and factories for your existing (presumably non-Laravel) database. Then install this package in that Laravel installation like so:

composer require edgrosvenor/laravelizer --dev

Configuration

By default, models will be created in your app root, factories in database/factories, and migrations in database/migrations. Optionally Nova resources can be added at app/Nova and tests can be generated at tests/unit/. You can choose whether to disable any of these or change the paths at which they're created by publishing php artisan vendor:publish and editing config/laravelizer.php.

When you publish assets, the stubs used for each component are also published. We use blade templates for our stubs so they are pretty easy to edit if you want to change things up a bit.

Usage

php artisan laravelize {table_name?} {--connection=} {--force}

If you do not specify a table name, we'll just do all of them.

Options

--force Overwrite any existing files related to the table. --connection= Name of the database connection you want to use if not the default connection.
