Data Migrations for Laravel

This extension allows you to separate data migrations from structure migrations.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

With Composer installed, you can then install the extension using the following commands:

NOTE: Until laravel 7.x use version 1.x. From laravel 8.0 and later use 2.x

$ php composer.phar require jlorente/laravel-data-migrations

or add

...
    "require": {
        "jlorente/laravel-data-migrations": "*"
    }

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

config/app.php

return [
    //other stuff
    'providers' => [
        //other stuff
        \Jlorente\DataMigrations\DataMigrationsServiceProvider::class,
    ];
];

Publish the new assets.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=data-migrations

This will create the default migrations directory and the config/data-migrations.php file.

Usage

By default, the table used to store the data migrations is "migrations_data" table. You can change the table on the config/data-migrations.php file.

The data migrations will be stored in the migrations_data folder of the database path if no path is specified in the command execution.

The available commands of the package are:

Create migration command

php artisan make:data-migration [name] [--path=]

The firts time you use it the data migrations table will be created.

Run migration command

php artisan migrate-data [--path=]

Rollback migration command

php artisan migrate-data:rollback [--path=]

The behavior of the migrations is the same as the regular migrations.
