Artisan, creating tables in database

Question

I am trying to create mysql tables in Laravel 5. I created a file in /project/database/migrations called users.php:

[...]
public functi         


        

Answer 1

in laravel 5 first we need to create migration and then run the migration

Step 1.

php artisan make:migration create_users_table --create=users

Step 2.

php artisan migrate

Answer 2

Migration files must match the pattern *_*.php, or else they won't be found. Since users.php does not match this pattern (it has no underscore), this file will not be found by the migrator.

Ideally, you should be creating your migration files using artisan:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table

This will create the file with the appropriate name, which you can then edit to flesh out your migration. The name will also include the timestamp, to help the migrator determine the order of migrations.

You can also use the --create or --table switches to add a little bit more boilerplate to help get you started:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table --create=users

The documentation on migrations can be found here.

Answer 3

In order to give a value in the table, we need to give a command:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table

and after then this command line

php artisan migrate
