Pretty Phinx

Pretty Phinx adds prettified and readable syntax to popular Phinx migration library. Phinx's default syntax can become cluttered and hard-to-read at times. Pretty Phinx uses method-chaining and adds readable methods for popular column types.

Installation

Using composer

composer require adhuham/pretty-phinx

Console

Use vendor/bin/pretty-phinx instead of vendor/bin/phinx to access console tools.

Migrations

You need to extend PrettyPhinx\Migration\AbstractMigration instead of Phinx\Migration\AbstractMigration base in your migration classes. When you generate migration classes using vendor/bin/pretty-phinx it will create the classes with vendor/bin/pretty-phinx.

use PrettyPhinx\Migration\AbstractMigration;

class MyNewMigration extends AbstractMigration
{
    public function change()
    {
    }
}

Creating tables

$post = $this->table('post');
$post->bigIncrements('id')->add();
$post->string('slug')->unique()->add();
$post->string('title')->length(255)->add();
$post->text('content')->nullable()->add();
$post->create();

Updating tables

$post = $this->table('post');
$post->bigIncrements('id')->change();
$post->string('slug')->unique()->change();
$post->string('title')->length(255)->nullable()->change();
$post->text('content')->nullable()->change();

$post->string('sub_title')->after('title');
$post->update();

Use ->change() instead of ->add() to amend column.

Primary Keys

By default, automatic primary key creation is disabled. You've to manually create the primary keys using auto-incrementing methods.

Foreign Keys

$tag = $this->table('tag');
$tag->bigIncrements()->add();
$tag->string('slug')->unique()->add();
$tag->string('name')->add();
$tag->create();

$post = $this->table('post');
$post->unsignedBigInteger('tag_id');

$post->foreign('tag_id')->references('id')->on('tag')
  ->onUpdate('cascade')
  ->onDelete('cascade')
  ->add();

$post->update();

Use Phinx's default syntax to delete or existence-check foreign keys ($table->dropForeignKey('tag_id') and $table->hasForeignKey('tag_id')). See Phinx Docs: Working With Foreign Keys

Methods

$table->unsignedBigInteger();
$table->unsignedMediumInteger();
$table->unsignedSmallInteger();
$table->unsignedTinyInteger();
$table->unsignedInteger();

$table->bigInteger();
$table->mediumInteger();
$table->smallInteger();
$table->tinyInteger();
$table->integer();

$table->text();
$table->longText();
$table->mediumText();
$table->tinyText();

$table->decimal($precision = 8, $scale = 2);
$table->boolean();

$table->dateTime();
$table->date();
$table->time();

Auto-incrementing

// these methods will create an auto-incrementing column
$table->bigIncrements();
$table->mediumIncrements();
$table->smallIncrements();
$table->tinyIncrements();
$table->increments();

Modifiers

// ->length()
$table->string('title')->length(100)->add();

// ->default()
$table->string('title')->default('untitled')->add();

// ->nullable()
$table->string('title')->nullable()->add();
$table->string('title')->nullable(false)->add(); // disable null (NOT NULL)

// ->unique()
$table->string('title')->unique()->add();

// ->index()
$table->string('title')->index()->add();

// ->after()
$table->string('title')->after('another_column')->add();

// ->charset()
$table->string('title')->charset('utf8')->add();

// ->collation()
$table->string('title')->collation('utf8_general_ci')->add();

Encoding

Default charset/collation is utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci for both table and columns.

To change the collation of a table

$table = $this->table('post');
// this changes the collation of "post" table
$table->collation('utf8_general_ci');
// ... 
// ...
$table->update();
