Migrations and Factories

Keep schema changes safe, testable, and reversible.

Commands

# Create model with migration + factory sail artisan make:model Post -mfc # or: php artisan make:model Post -mfc # Run/rollback sail artisan migrate # or: php artisan migrate sail artisan migrate:rollback --step=1 # or: php artisan migrate:rollback --step=1 # Fresh DB (dangerous; dev only) sail artisan migrate:fresh --seed # or: php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

Rules

Pair each new model with a migration and a factory

If a migration was merged to main, never edit it—add a new one

On feature branches, you may amend migrations created on that branch (if not merged)

Seed realistic but minimal datasets in seeder classes; keep huge datasets external

Factories

Prefer state modifiers (e.g., ->state([...])) over boolean flags

Use relationships (e.g., belongsTo) in factories to build realistic graphs

Keep factories fast; move expensive setup to seeds where possible

Testing

Use factories in tests; avoid manual inserts

For integration tests touching DB, use transactions or RefreshDatabase
