A common situation that occurs during the development process is that a schema is created, and then, we need to create a migration from that schema. At the time of writing, there is no official tool to do this in the Laravel core, but there are several packages available.
One such package is the migrations-generator package.
First, add the following line to the require-dev section of the composer.json file to require the migrations-generator dependency in the composer.json file:
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "~4.0",
"phpspec/phpspec": "~2.1",
"xethron/migrations-generator": "dev-feature/laravel-five-stable",
"way/generators": "dev-feature/laravel-five-stable"
},It is also necessary to add the following text to the composer.json file at the root level:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "git",
"url": "[email protected]:jamisonvalenta/Laravel-4-Generators.git"
}],
