generate:migration

Use the built-in cli command for generating migrations to easily get up and running. Psychic will automatically timestamp the filename for your migrations, keeping them in sequential order, and will generate boilerplate to get you started with writing a migration.

yarn psy g:migration --help
yarn psy g:migration add-deleted-at-to-posts deleted_at:datetime

Usage​

yarn psy g:migration [options] <migrationName> [columnsWithTypes...]

Arguments:

  • <migrationName>: End with -to-table-name to prepopulate with an alterTable command.
  • [columnsWithTypes...]: Same as the model generator.

Options:

  • --connection-name <connectionName>: The connection name you wish to use for your migration.
  • -h, --help: Display help for command.

Ending the migration name with -to-table-name will automatically include the underscored table name in the migration.

If you want to also generate a model for this migration, you can simply use the g:model or g:resource commands instead.
