Migration Files¶
Migration files (short name for Database Migration Files are the version control of your database. They are very useful for generating and documenting the database tables.
Rules¶
- Migrations SHOULD be created inside the respective
Containers
. - Migrations will be autoloaded by HiveApi
- There is no need to publish the Database Migrations yourself. Just run the
artisan migrate
command and Laravel will read the Migrations from your Containers.
Structure¶

...
Code Samples¶
Below is a code sample for the 2200_01_01_000001_create_users_table

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
