Laravel Migration Actions

 Laravel Migration Actions

Laravel migration actions is like version control for your migration process, allowing your team to modify and share the application's actionable schema. If you have ever had to tell a teammate to perform any action on a production server manually, you've come across an issue that actions solve.

Actions are stored within a database/actions folder and operate similarly to the way migrations work. This package also includes an Artisan command to create new actions. Here's what an example action might look like:

 1<?php
 2 
 3use DragonCode\LaravelActions\Support\Actionable;
 4use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
 5 
 6class ExampleAction extends Actionable
 7{
 8    protected $transactions = true;
 9 
10    /**
11     * Run the actions.
12     *
13     * @return void
14     */
15    public function up(): void
16    {
17        DB::table('users')->insert([
18            'name' => 'Example User',
19            'email' => 'user@example.com',
20            'password' => bcrypt('password')
21        ]);
22    }
23 
24    /**
25     * Reverse the actions.
26     *
27     * @return void
28     */
29    public function down(): void
30    {
31        //
32    }
33}
