README

This is a small package that builds on Laravel's wonderful database package. It extracts the database migration feature in order to use it in any project that may not be built on Laravel.

Note

This is currently a proof of concept. There are rough edges (such as the configuration file and migrations folder location). Those should be fixed given enough time and feedback. Feel free to submit a PR if you have a suggestion on how to deal with those!

This project currently uses some from of "hack" by creating some files in the Illuminate/Foundation namespace. It is expected you will not use this project within the context of a Laravel application, otherwise conflicts will occur.

Getting Started

Laravel 4

Due to technical constraints, the folder structure in Laravel 4 has to be a certain way (specifically, we need a database/migrations path). You can follow Laravel 5 instructions on how to get started, simply make sure that you create the database/migrations path (instead of simply migrations).

your-project
- database
-- database.php
-- database
--- migrations
---- 2015_11_17_215411_some_migration.php
- vendor
-- tomzx
--- LaravelMigration

Laravel 5

The current implementation looks in the current working directory for a configuration file database.php and migration files in the migrations directory.

your-project
- database
-- database.php
-- migrations
--- 2015_11_17_215411_some_migration.php
- vendor
-- tomzx
--- LaravelMigration

To use the tool, you would call laravel-migration within the database directory in the following way:

php ../vendor/bin/laravel-migration

Thus, the current setup steps are:

1. Create a database directory where you will store your database.php and migrations files
2. Copy database.php to your newly created directory and configure it to your needs
3. Create a migrations directory in the newly created directory
4. You may now enjoy laravel-migration!
