README

This is a simple package to generate schema files for your database tables.

For an example, the standard users table in a new laravel application will generate a file named users.schema.json that contains the contents below.

{
  "name": "users",
  "schema": {
    "id": "bigint",
    "name": "string",
    "email": "string",
    "email_verified_at": "datetime",
    "password": "string",
    "remember_token": "string",
    "created_at": "datetime",
    "updated_at": "datetime"
  }
}

Installation

composer require wyattcast44/laravelschema

Usage

1. Schema files will be regenerated anytime you run migrations

2. You can manually trigger a build by running the command below

php artisan schema:generate

Config

You can publish the config file using the command below

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="WyattCast44\LaravelSchema\LaravelSchemaServiceProvider"

Once you have published the config file you can customize:

• Whether or not to automatically generate schema files when migrations are ran
• where the files will be generated, the default location is in database\schemas
• the file extension, the default is .schema.json
• you add any tables you would like to ignore

Why

This package helps you quickly and easily determine what field all your database tables have and the datatype for those fields.

As a project grows generally the number of migrations does as well, this can make it hard to determine by looking in one place what the final structure of a table is. You could open a database GUI and look there, but I wanted an easier way without leaving my code editor.

I hope you find this package useful in your workflow, I know I use it daily in mine :)
