Documentation

Database

This package will create the following database tables, which map to models:

• places -> Asdfx\LaravelGedcom\Models\Place
• persons -> Asdfx\LaravelGedcom\Models\Person
• person_events -> Asdfx\LaravelGedcom\Models\PersonEvent
• families Asdfx\LaravelGedcom\Models\Family
• family_events Asdfx\LaravelGedcom\Models\FamilyEvents

parse() Method

The parse() method takes two parameters, string $filename, and bool $progressBar = false. If you set $progressBar to true, a ProgressBar will be output to php://stdout, which is useful when you are calling the parser from Artisan commands.
