An artisan command to build up the database from scratch

Laravel has a migrate:refresh command to build up the database using migrations. To clear the database it'll first rollback all migrations by using the down method in each migration.

But what if you don't use the down method inside your projects? The migrate:refresh command will fail as the database isn't cleared first.

This package contains a migrate:fresh command that'll nuke all the tables in your database regardless of whether you've set up the down method in each migration.

Requirements

This command supports MySQL, sqlite, PostgreSQL and MS SQL databases.

Note: the migrate:fresh command is included by default in Laravel 5.5.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-migrate-fresh

Next add the Spatie\MigrateFresh\Commands\MigrateFresh class to your console kernel.

// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected $commands = [
   ...
    \Spatie\MigrateFresh\Commands\MigrateFresh::class,
]

Usage

This command will drop all tables from your database and run all migrations.

php artisan migrate:fresh

Be aware that the command will knock down all tables in the database. Tables not belonging to your application will be dropped as well.

By tagging on the seed option all seeders will run as well.

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

If the command is being executed in a production environment, confirmation will be asked first. To suppress the confirmation use the force option.

php artisan migrate:fresh --force

Events

This package fires several events, which you can hook into to perform some extra logic rebuilding the database.

Spatie\MigrateFresh\Events\DroppingTables: will be fired right before dropping the first table
Spatie\MigrateFresh\Events\DroppedTables: will be fired right after all the tables have been dropped and before running the up steps of the migrations
