Migrations

Migrations Installation

migrate:install : it will crate a migrations table for record any changes of database.

$ php artisan migrate:install

1	$ php artisan migrate:install

Making a new migration record

migrate:make (create|remove)_tablename_table

$ php artisan migrate:make create_authors_table

1	$ php artisan migrate:make create_authors_table

The --table and --create options may also be used to indicate the name of the table, and whether the migration will be creating a new table:

$ php artisan migrate:make create_authors_table --table=authors --create

// up() 
Schema::create('authors', function($table){ 
  $table->increments('id'); 
  $table->string('name'); 
  $table->text('bio'); 
  $table->timestamp(); 
});

// down() 
Schema::drop('authors');

// up()

Schema::create('authors', function($table){

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('name');

$table->text('bio');

$table->timestamp();

});

// down()

Schema::drop('authors');

Running All Outstanding Migrations

$ php artisan migrate

To seed your database, you may use the db:seed command on the Artisan CLI:

$ php artisan db:seed

Rollback all migrations and run them all again

$ php artisan migrate:refresh --seed

Artisan

Check routes status: $ php artisan routes

Clear auto-load files: $ php artisan clear-compiled

Re-generate auto-load files: $ php artisan dump-autoload
