README

App Key rotation and migrating records in the DB without the hassles of waiting for everything to update.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require teqnifii/laravel-key-migration

IMPORTANT NOTE

Make sure your models are using the cast type encrypted for the fields you want to encrypt:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class YourClass extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
        'your_column' => 'encrypted',
    ];
}

For more information on the encrypted cast, see the Laravel documentation.

Usage

This package contains two commands, key:rotate and key:migrate.

key:rotate

This command will rotate the application key, and update the APP_KEY in the .env file, while putting the old key in the APP_PREVIOUS_KEYS variable.

The .env file must be writable, and does NOT clear any config caching.

You will have to still run config:clear after to clear any cached configurations.

key:migrate

This command will migrate the records in the database from the old key to the new key. It will look for the APP_PREVIOUS_KEYS variable in the .env file, and use the old keys to migrate the records.

Testing
