Installation

1. Add mortimer/db-setup as a requirement to composer.json:

   {
       "require": {
           "mortimer/db-setup": "dev-master"
       }
   }

   Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

2. Add the service provider

   Open app/config/app.php and add the following item to the service providers array:

   'Mortimer\DbSetup\DbSetupServiceProvider'
   

Commands

Three new artisan commands are now available:

• db:create Create the database for the current environment.

• db:drop Drop the database for the current environment.

• db:setup Run a batch of other artisan commands: db:create, migrate, db:seed

The command you will use the most is db:setup, this is the typical command you run when grabbing an existing project, run it just after composer install or composer update, but don't forget to set the database config just before.

php artisan db:setup
