Laravel migration actions is like version control for your migration process, allowing your team to modify and share the application's actionable schema. If you have ever had to tell a teammate to perform any action on a production server manually, you've come across an issue that actions solve.

Actions are stored within a database/actions folder and operate similarly to the way migrations work. This package also includes an Artisan command to create new actions. Here's what an example action might look like:

<?php
 
use DragonCode\LaravelActions\Support\Actionable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
 
class ExampleAction extends Actionable
{
protected $transactions = true;
 
/**
* Run the actions.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up(): void
{
DB::table('users')->insert([
'name' => 'Example User',
'email' => 'user@example.com',
'password' => bcrypt('password')
]);
}
 
/**
* Reverse the actions.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down(): void
{
//
}
}

Some of the packages main features include:

  • Ability to run actions every time you call migrate:actions command
  • Execution of actions only in specific environments
  • Exclude actions from specific environments
  • Easy database transactions in actions with configurable attempts before failing
  • Rolling back actions
  • Display the status of actions in the current environment

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.
