Laravel Schema (Development Preview)

🧪 This package is currently under development. Features, APIs and behavior may change at any time.

Generate Laravel migration files based on a simple DSL (domain-specific language) written in a single file: schema.db.

📦 Installation

Then run:

composer require gabrielrcosta1/laravel-schema

📁 What It Does

• Adds Artisan commands:
  • schema:create
  • schema:migrate
  • schema:reset
• Lets you define your database tables in a single DSL file
• Generates Laravel-compatible migration files into database/migrations
• Tracks schema changes and generates only incremental migrations
• Supports full or table-specific reset
• Lets you run php artisan migrate as usual

🚀 Usage

1. Generate the schema file

php artisan schema:create

This will create the file:

/your-laravel-project/database/schema.db

With default content for:

• posts

2. Define your schema (example)

Edit database/schema.db like this:

table posts {
    id primary
    title string
    body text
    published_at timestamp nullable
    user_id foreign:users.id
    timestamps
    softDeletes
}

3. Generate migration files

php artisan schema:migrate

This will:

• Parse schema.db
• Compare with previous schema
• Generate new migrations:
  • full table migrations
  • incremental add_ / remove_ migrations

4. Apply the migrations

php artisan migrate

5. Reset generated migrations

If you want to delete generated migrations and schema cache:

Reset everything:

php artisan schema:reset --all

Reset only one table:

php artisan schema:reset
# You will be prompted for the table name

This deletes:

• The migration files related to the selected table(s)
• The schema cache files (.json and .hash)
