Background :

Our team has been made a stupid thing that affect database in our project. It was happens many times, and we are usually go tinkering or direct edit on a database to fix those problems. The problem is we need to record those change, so we made this package. Besides, we sometime need to doing bulk insert user for our application, so patch will be the best solution.

USAGE

CREATE NEW PATCH

for creating new patch you just need to run these following command

php artisan make:patch what_do_you_want_to_patch

wait, do you feels familiar huh?, we do too. The truth is, this package is extending laravel migration.

after run those command, you will see new file in patches folder. Those file will be like:

<?php

use Jalameta\Patcher\Patch;

class WhatDoYouWantToPatch extends Patch
{
    /**
     * Run patch script.
     *
     * @return void
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function patch()
    {
        // 
    }
}

Method patch on these file will be filled with your logic. in Jalameta\Patcher\Patch there is some useful properties that you can use for supporting your patch such as:

$container: \Illuminate\Container\Container
$command: \Illuminate\Console\Command
we frequently used $command property to print process that we're doing. example:
```
$this->command->warn('i patch something danger!');
$this->command->confirm('do you wish to continue?');
```
you can learn more about \Illuminate\Console\Command here.

$logger: \Illuminate\Log\Logger

$logger will store log in storage/logs/patches.log. if you want to change it, add this line below in your config/logging.php in channels section.
[
    'channels' => [
        'patcher' => [
             'driver' => 'patcher', // you can change me if you want
             'path' => storage_path('logs/patches.log'), // change me
         ],
    ],
];
