Generate Many to Many Migrations

When you want to make a many to many relationship in Laravel, you need to create a pivot table. This package gives you a command to generate the migration for that pivot table automatically.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require iamkevinmckee/many-to-many --dev

Usage

When you need to create a pivot table for a many to many relationship, just run the following command:

php artisan many-to-many FirstModel SecondModel

For example:

php artisan many-to-many tag post

This will generate a migration with the following up method:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('post_tag', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('post_id');
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('tag_id');
        $table->foreign('post_id')->references('id')->on('posts')
            ->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->foreign('tag_id')->references('id')->on('tags')
            ->onDelete('cascade');
    });
}

Then you only need to run the migrate command and add the relationship to the models.
