Remember this artisan command when you create a new table

Hey guys,

This command has been presented there for a while but I want to share it again 🥹

Before I usually do:

It's quite a hassle, isn't it? But actually, there is a way to do it in 1 go 😎

The combination

php artisan make:model Article --migration --factory

Once hitting this one, it will create for us:

Article model
Migration (with Schema::create('articles', ...)), automatically do the "pluralize".
Article Factory (optional - if you want to write tests)

IMO, I do think that model, migration & factory are good enough for the first go. We can create a controller or policy or else in later 🤗.

When creating a migration to change the schema of an existing table, try put the name like this:

Laravel will extract the middle part, transform the table into the snack_case, and prepare the base code for us

Schema::table('{your_table}', ...);

Save a bit of your time, eh? 🥹

Thank you for reading this, I believe many of us already know & aware of these options. Save time and jump into productivity quicker.

Laravel is so beautiful 😍
