Wordpress Plugin Helper for Database migrations

This helper allows you to use Phinx for defining Database migrations. The placed config file phinx.php will use the Wordpress Configured Database.

For Phinx being able to work, from your plugin directory run on a bash cli:

cp vendor/macwinnie/wp-db-phinx-helper/files/phinx.php ./

Also possible is to expand the Macwinnie\WpDbPhinxHelper\DBUtilisator class by your Plugin-Class:

class MyPlugin extends DBUtilisator {

    public static function plugin_activation_method () {
        parent::plugin_activation_method(); # ensures Phinx config placed and migrations run on install / activation / update
    }

    public static function plugin_uninstall_method () {
        parent::plugin_uninstall_method(); # ensures Phinx migrations rolled back in Database on Plugin uninstall
    }
}

The static function static::basePath() can be used to get your Plugin absolute path on the webserver – and will also check if the Phinx config file is present in the base directory of your Plugin.
