Generate Laravel Migrations from an existing database, including indexes and foreign keys!

I have been with very little time, doing what I can so that this library is useful for everyone who needs it. As of today we have more than 100,000 downloads, thank you very much everyone!

The recommended way to install this is through composer:

composer require oscarafdev/migrations-generator --dev

In Laravel 5.5+ the service providers will automatically get registered.

To generate migrations from a database, you need to have your database setup in Laravel's Config.

Run php artisan migrate:generate to create migrations for all the tables, or you can specify the tables you wish to generate using php artisan migrate:generate table1,table2,table3,table4,table5. You can also ignore tables with --ignore="table3,table4,table5"

Laravel Migrations Generator will first generate all the tables, columns and indexes, and afterwards setup all the foreign key constraints. So make sure you include all the tables listed in the foreign keys so that they are present when the foreign keys are created.

You can also specify the connection name if you are not using your default connection with --connection="connection_name"

Run php artisan help migrate:generate for a list of options.
