Laravel migration actions is like version control for your migration process, allowing your team to modify and share the application’s actionable schema. If you have ever had to tell a teammate to perform any action on a production server manually, you’ve come across an issue that actions solve.

Actions are stored within a database/actions folder and operate similarly to the way migrations work. This package also includes an Artisan command to create new actions. Here’s what an example action might look like:

 1<?php
 2 
 3use DragonCodeLaravelActionsSupportActionable;
 4use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;
 5 
 6class ExampleAction extends Actionable
 7{
 8    protected $transactions = true;
 9 
10    /**
11     * Run the actions.
12     *
13     * @return void
14     */
15    public function up(): void
16    {
17        DB::table('users')->insert([
18            'name' => 'Example User',
19            'email' => 'user@example.com',
20            'password' => bcrypt('password')
21        ]);
22    }
23 
24    /**
25     * Reverse the actions.
26     *
27     * @return void
28     */
29    public function down(): void
30    {
31        //
32    }
33}
