Laravel package for running script migrations

Overview

This Laravel package is a slightly modified version of https://github.com/illuminate/database package. It uses the same migration principle to run user defined scripts. For example you may need to send a bunch of push notifications. In this case you can create a script migration and run it after you deploy your code:

$ php artisan script-runner:migrate 

Installation

You'll have to follow a couple of simple steps to install this package.

Downloading

Via composer:

$ composer require sigurniv/laravel-script-runner "^1.0" 

Registering the service provider

If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, you can skip this step. The service provider will have already been registered thanks to auto-discovery. Otherwise you need to add Sigurniv\LaravelScriptRunner\LaravelScriptRunnerServiceProvider to your providers array.

Publish config

$ php artisan vendor:publish

This will create script-runner.php inside config folder. Additionally it will create database/script-runner-migrations folder to keep your generated script migration files. You can configure your script migration table name:

// config/script-runner.php
return [
    'migration_table' => 'laravel_script_runner_migrations'
];

Available commands

If you now run php artisan you will see new commands in the list:

• make:script-runner:migration
• script-runner:migrate

These are analogs of default database migrate commands.
