Laravel Migrations Organiser

As projects grow, the number of migration files can quickly become unwieldy. This package automatically organises your migrations into yyyy/mm folders, making them easier to navigate.

Version Compatibility

Laravel	Package
5.3 - 6.x	v4.*
7.x	v5.*
8 - 10	v6.*
11 - 13	v7.*

Installation

composer require jaybizzle/laravel-migrations-organiser

The package uses Laravel's auto-discovery, so no manual service provider registration is needed.

Usage

This package hooks into the default artisan make:migration command. Just use it as you normally would and the package takes care of the rest.

Organise existing migrations

If you already have migrations in the base folder, run:

php artisan migrate:organise

This will move all existing migrations into the appropriate yyyy/mm folders.

Flatten migrations

To move all migrations back to the base migrations folder:

php artisan migrate:flatten

Add --force to delete leftover subdirectories without confirmation.

migrate:disorganise is still available as an alias for backward compatibility.
