Laravel Migrations Generator

Generate Laravel Migrations from an existing database, including indexes and foreign keys!

Install

Edit your composer.json file to require xethron/migrations-generator and run composer update

"require-dev": {
    "xethron/migrations-generator": "dev-master"
}

Next, add the following service provider:

'Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider',
'Xethron\MigrationsGenerator\MigrationsGeneratorServiceProvider',

And you're set. To double check if its working, run php artisan, and look for the command migrate:generate

Usage

To generate migrations from a database, you need to have your database setup in Laravel's Config.

Run php artisan migrate:generate to create migrations for all the tables, or you can specify the tables you wish to generate using php artisan migrate:generate table1,table2,table3,table4,table5. You can also ignore tables with --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 --connection="connection_name"

Run php artisan help migrate:generate for a list of options.
