What's prefered (or best practice for migration), run artisan migration everytime we created a new migration file, or after we created some?
Everytime:
Create migration file
Run php artisan migrate
Create another migration file
Run php artisan migrate
Create another migration file
Run php artisan migrate
etc
After created some:
Create migration file
Create another migration file
Create another migration file
Run php artisan migrate
etc
There is no preferred way of creating migrations, it's as you like and depends on your project.

I am using symfony and in that I am trying to generate new migration version with the following command:
app/console doctrine:migration:diff
it is genrating new migration file but there is a table in Entity directory called transaction for this particular table i am not able to generate migration or can say the table is not being created in database. Please help me generating migration / table by script only. I don't want to generate it manually.
Thanks
Use this command to generate a migration file which will be get created in migration\ folder
php app/console make:migration
Then hit this command to reflect your entity into the database
php app/console doctrine:migration:migrate
To check you current migration status and track hit this command
php app/console doctrine:migration:status
Install symfony CLI for ease from
https://symfony.com/download
I just had the same problem: migration wasn't getting generated for a specific entity.
After a while I found out it was because of my Doctrine Cache.
I cleared the cache pool and could generate my migration properly.
I have an issue with laravel.
I have created a database named billing and connection is working fine for all tables. Now I created a new table named as masters. When I'm using this table then it is showing error base table or view masters not found
How can I resolve this issue?
This is usual for beginners. I have a few hints:
You might want to manually check the database, outside of Laravel, to
be sure the table has not been add.
Sometimes, you might just have misspelt the table name.
Did you forget to run the migration? If so, you need to run the
migration to add the table to the database. You can simple use php
artisan migrate on the command line.
If all these don't resolve it, dump you autoload files with composer and rerun your migration. You can use composer dumpautoload and then php artisan migrate:refresh
To create a migration, use the make:migration Artisan command:
php artisan make:migration create_masters_table
The new migration will be placed in your database/migrations directory.
You can use Laravel schema builder to expressively create and modify tables.
To run all of your outstanding migrations, execute the migrate Artisan command: php artisan migrate
Just a quick one really
I have an existing Laravel app
I want to use a migration to add some columns to an existing table
So i do the following:
php artisan make:migration add_columns_to_table
Which creates a file in my migrations folder called:
2017_10_25_124938_add_column_to_table.php
And also creates an entry in my migrations table in the database. All good.
I can edit the migration file (adding the columns etc) and run
php artisan migrate
And everything works great
Now - my question is this:
When i come to deploy to live i am presuming I would log onto the live box and run the create migration command again:
php artisan make:migration add_columns_to_table
But this will create a migration with a different name to the one i created / tested locally?
So - do i then need to manually copy the code from my local 2017_10_25_124938_add_column_to_table.php migration file to the one created on the live box?
That seems a bit backwards and fiddly
What is the best way of creating and testing a migration locally and then deploying it to live when the create migration command creates a different named migration file (and DB entry) on the live box?
Or have i got the wrong end of the stick?
The best practice is to keep migration files with the repo. While deploying the application on any environment you have to execute all migrations.
php artisan migrate
This command will run all the migrations which are not already executed in the current environment. Laravel use a table called 'migrations' to keep track of all the migrations it has run.
I have been working using laravel for a long time. I was thinking about this problem. Is it possible to drop a specific table and remove migration file using just a artisan command?
I know there are couple of ways to do these job like Schema::drop('') or creating new migration etc. I am just curious to find such artisan command to do these job.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thanks.
It's not possible to do this in one command without writing your own artisan command (artisan make:command) - https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/artisan#writing-commands
You can create your custom artisan command.
artisan make:command
I am new laravel programmer, and I have simple question
about setting up database.
Assume that I create all required migrations, models, and eloquent relationships, also configure mysql database in laravel, now in this point, is laravel will create all mysql tables required in server's DB according to migrations, models, and eloquent that I created before?
In other words, do I need to create tables in mysql server as scratch developer do?
To create a migration, use the make:migration Artisan command:
php artisan make:migration create_users_table
To run all of your outstanding migrations, execute the migrate Artisan command:
php artisan migrate
Laravel have many commands from console.
from console,go to your project folder path run php artisan list to see all avaliable commands.
your question asked how to create tables after you created migrations, which is php artisan migrate.
