Usage

To generate migrations from a database, you need to have your database setup in Laravel's Config.

Run php artisan migrate:generate to create migrations for all the tables, or you can specify the tables you wish to generate using php artisan migrate:generate table1,table2,table3,table4,table5. You can also ignore tables with --ignore="table3,table4,table5"

Laravel Migrations Generator will first generate all the tables, columns and indexes, and afterwards setup all the foreign key constraints. So make sure you include all the tables listed in the foreign keys so that they are present when the foreign keys are created.

You can also specify the connection name if you are not using your default connection with --connection="connection_name"

Run php artisan help migrate:generate for a list of options.

Options	Description
-c, --connection[=CONNECTION]	The database connection to use
-t, --tables[=TABLES]	A list of Tables you wish to Generate Migrations for separated by a comma: users,posts,comments
-i, --ignore[=IGNORE]	A list of Tables you wish to ignore, separated by a comma: users,posts,comments
-p, --path[=PATH]	Where should the file be created?
--defaultIndexNames	Don't use db index names for migrations
--defaultFKNames	Don't use db foreign key names for migrations
-tp, --templatePath[=TEMPLATEPATH]	The location of the template for this generator
