README

This Laravel package provides enhanced functionality for managing database migrations. It extends the core Blueprint class and Schema facade to streamline your migration experience.

Features

• Standardized Time Precision: Ensures all time-related database types (like datetime and timestamp) utilize a precision of 6 by default (instead of the default 0).
• Automatic Morph Indexing: Automatically adds indexes to all columns created using morph relationships (morphTo, morphMany, etc.) for improved performance in queries.

Installation

composer require patrickquijano/laravel-migration

Usage

To leverage this package in your existing migrations, simply rename the following classes:

1. Replace Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint with LaravelMigration\Database\Schema\Blueprint
2. Replace Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema with LaravelMigration\Support\Facades\Schema

Example (Before):

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
        // ...
    });
}

Example (After):

use LaravelMigration\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use LaravelMigration\Support\Facades\Schema;

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
        // ...
    });
}

Publish Stub Files (Optional)

For convenience, you can publish stub files with the updated imports for your future migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-migration-stubs

This will create new stub files within your stubs directory, reflecting the package's classes.

Benefits

• Improved Code Consistency: Enforces a standardized time precision for temporal database types.
• Enhanced Performance: Automatic indexing on morph relationships leads to faster queries.
• Streamlined Development: Stub file publishing simplifies migration creation with pre-configured imports.

We encourage you to utilize this package to streamline your Laravel migration development and ensure optimal database performance.
