Package that generates a schema file

You can pull in the package via composer:

    composer require nachofassini/laravel-database-structure

For laravel < 5.6: the service provider must be registered:

    // config/app.php
    'providers' => [
        ...
        NachoFassini\LaravelDatabaseStructure\ServiceProvider::class,
        
    ];

To generate schema file just type in the console:

    php artisan schema:file

The file should be generated at your database path like schema.php and would look like these:

    $tables => [
        'users' => [
            'id',
            'name',
            'email',
            'created_at',
            ...
        ],
        'posts' => [
            'user_id',
            'title',
            ...
        ]
    ];

There are no conventions about this, but I think this file should be ignored.

If you want the file to be updated every time you change the database through any migrate command, just set AUTOMATIC_SCHEMA_FILE=true in your .env file.

This will make that after executing any kind of migration command, the schema file gets up to date with the final database structure.

I think this can be much more useful, any collaboration is appreciated.
