Release Script

This package allows creating one-off execute scripts. This should be useful when after some changes need run additional commands (for example, need add a new role to app when we implemented a new feature).

Install

Require this package with composer using the following command:

composer require it-brains/laravel-release-scripts

How use

Step 1. Create a new release script:

php artisan make:release-script add_manage_role

On './database/scripts' path will be create a class in migration format with 'run' method. The file can look like:

<?php

use ITBrains\ReleaseScript\ScriptInterface;

class AddManagerRole implements ScriptInterface
{
    /**
     * Run the script.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        \App\Role::create(['title' => 'Manager']);
    }
}

Step 2. To edit on your server deploy script - replace migrate command (php artisan migrate --force) with release scripts run command:

...
php artisan release-script:run --force --migrate
...

Note: with '--migrate' option the 'migrate' command running before all release scripts.

Important Notes

• If you plan to run a command that requires a confirmation (often doing it on production environment mode) then need not to forget setup an option to prevent it. For example, setup '--force' option for run seed command: Artisan::call('db:seed', ['--class' => SettingsTableSeeder::class, '--force' => true]);

• If you plan to run a command with --class option, for example: php artisan release-script:run --class=AddManagerRole, you need add "scripts" directory to composer classmap:

...

"autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database/seeds",
            "database/scripts",
            "database/factories"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        }
    },

...

Available commands

php artisan make:release-script 
php artisan release-script:run
php artisan release-script:status

Possible todo:

• tests
• add fresh command that will remove all scripts from database and run again
• possible need move creating 'scripts' table to migration because how we will know that need reload all scripts when a developer ran 'php artisan migrate:refresh --seed' - all will be refreshed except scripts! And then really possible need extend migrations command for add the option '--scripts'.
