# 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:

* `php artisan make:migration CreateAbcTables`
    
* `php artisan make:model Abc`
    
* `php artisan make:factory Abc`
    
* ...
    

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

## The combination

```bash
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)
    

### Additional params

* `--controller`
    
* `--resource`
    
* `--policy`
    
* `--seed`
    
* `--all`: this will create everything 😆
    

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 🤗.

## Additional tips

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

* AddUserIdColumn**To**Users**Table**
    
* ChangeAmountType**In**Transactions**Table**
    
* DeleteUserId**From**Events**Table**
    

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

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

Save a bit of your time, eh? 🥹

## Ending words

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 😍
