Usage

This package is forked from qsum/ModelAnnotation, with two major changes:

The Model classes are crawled (instead of the tables) and $model->getTable() is considered to find the corresponding table
PHPDoc-style comments are generated.

This package only works with MySQL for now.

Make sure you have backup or VCS.
Modify composer.json file, include following line for require section:

"require-dev": {
    ...
    "hpcarlos/model_annotation": "dev-master",
}
...
"repositories": {
  "model_annotation": {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/hpcarlos/model-annotation-mysql.git"
  }
},

Run composer update to install newly added package
Add Service Provider in app.php:

'providers' => [
    ....
    fjf2002\ModelAnnotation\AnnotationServiceProvider::class
]

Run php artisan annotate:models to annotate model files
