## Install
The recommended way to install this is through composer:
```bash
composer require --dev "kitloong/laravel-migrations-generator"
```
### Laravel Setup
Laravel will automatically register service provider for you.
### Lumen Setup
Auto-discovery is not available in Lumen, you need some modification on `bootstrap/app.php`.
#### Enable facade
Uncomment the following line.
```
$app->withFacades();
```
#### Register provider
Add following line into the `Register Service Providers` section.
```
$app->register(\MigrationsGenerator\MigrationsGeneratorServiceProvider::class);
```
## Usage
To generate migrations from a database, you need to have your database setup in Laravel's config (`config/database.php`).
To create migrations for all the tables, run:
```bash
php artisan migrate:generate
```
You can specify the tables you wish to generate using:
```bash
php artisan migrate:generate --tables="table1,table2,table3,table4,table5"
```
You can also ignore tables with:
```bash
php artisan migrate:generate --ignore="table3,table4,table5"
```
Laravel Migrations Generator will first generate all the tables, columns and indexes, and afterwards setup all the foreign key constraints.
So make sure you include all the tables listed in the foreign keys so that they are present when the foreign keys are created.
You can also specify the connection name if you are not using your default connection with:
```bash
php artisan migrate:generate --connection="connection_name"
```
### Squash migrations
By default, Generator will generate multiple migration files for each table.
You can squash all migrations into a single file with:
```bash
php artisan migrate:generate --squash
```
### Options
Run `php artisan help migrate:generate` for a list of options.
