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¶

app
    Containers
        {container-name}
            Data
                Migrations
                    2200_01_01_000001_create_users_table.php
                    2200_01_02_000001_add_fields_to_users_table.php
                    ...

Code Samples¶

Below is a code sample for the 2200_01_01_000001_create_users_table migration file.

<?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');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();
            $table->softDeletes();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {
        Schema::drop('users');
    }
}
